No.  Just, no.  This is not Dante's Inferno.  This is bad Dante's Inferno fanfiction as written by some fourteen year old after a weekend God of War/Doom bender.

Don't mind at all about them butchering a classic, but the story stuff still makes me cringe. The foes look pretty cool though.

I realise hell is, well, "hell", but I don't want to play a game that is ridiculously grotesque.  
 
Slaying demons I can do, but grossed out stuff, screw that.

So this is like Dead Space, but instead of Nicole Brennan, your girlfriend is Beatrice, and instead of the Ishimura, you're going into Hell.

And instead of cutting limbs off with plasma, you are doing so with metal.
 
That said, I will hold my stance on this game: Looks cool and I respect EA's no-holds-barred take on Hell, but at the same time, I doubt I'll get around to playing it. Interesting, but I'm not sold.

I was more bothered by 1:38 and 1:55 (which are the same thing). I mean, I know this is a God of War clone, and I know that had sex minigames, but.. in hell? really?

I dig the Blizzard level of quality for the CGI.  All in all this game looks awesome.  EA has really pulled through with all these new IP's (deadspace, mirrors edge, dante's inferno, etc).  Good on them!

I see what your saying, but it's really just a cool stylized action game with an excuse to use a name that is familiar to consumers.

I'm actually really pleased by the music, although the actual game promises to be a god of war clone with an offensively bad storyline.

It's nice to know that someone finally went the full mile and wrote down the plot of one of their wet dreams and then put it in video game format.

Hey GB :D
 I've not paid much attention to this game but why is hell on fire it was frozen in the book wasn't it? I don't mind creative licence but I always thought that gave Dante's version of hell a much more original and interesting perspective.

And you're concerned about sex minigames.

The develorps of this game need to be sent to  Guantanamo or some place worst in the Eastern Bloc simply forgotten about.  Honestly water boarding would be too nice for these people.

Should I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your a fan of the Divine Comedy... or do I assume you have a peculiar take on Christian love.

No, that's be pretty much generic Christian love these days. And he's really that sensitive, what the hell is he doing playing video games?

There were many layers of hell many were on fire, the ninth and final layer was frozen. We'll have to wait and see what they do in the game, but i doubt they are showing off the endgame (or what i assume would be endgame) in the trailers.
