Dante's Inferno Trailer: 'Like a High School Reunion, Except You Get to Cut Everyone's Heads Off'
"You have to fight these guys, right here and right now," developer Visceral Games says of Fraud, the eighth circle of hell, in this trailer for its poetic beat 'em up Dante's Inferno. "[It's] like a high school reunion, except you get to cut eve
"[It's] like a high school reunion, except you get to cut everyone's heads off."
Thing is, they're talking about fraud. Can we trust them? Is it actually the hardest circle in the game, or is this a clever ruse to hide a level filled with rainbows and unicorns?
We'll find out for sure when Dante's Inferno unleashes hell upon PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PSP and North American retail February 9. Until then? Unicorns. Glitter. Believe.

I went into the demo really hoping to have my opinion of the game changed for the better and in some ways it was. The production values are hight and the combat felt decent. Sadly there is absolutely nothing to like about the main character. The games concepts are expertly executed. However, it feels like those concepts were conceived by angry adolescent boys that read the cliff notes for Dantes Inferno and thought that it would make a bitchin' game that would really annoy their parents.

Pretty much my feeling. It's a competent ripoff, but so utterly derivative with a terrible angsty story that I have no interest in playing more. There are too many great games in this genre that actually try to do their own story and feel, even if they owe a lot to previous titles - currently really enjoying Darksiders.

The DI demo only confirmed for me what I had heard up to that point about the game playing like God of War. I've played games in the latter series long enough for DI's combat to feel all too similar to me.
That being said, I didn't have much interest for the game in the first place, so the GoW similarities don't exactly enrage me. It's just that I'd like to see Dante's Inferno have something that would separate it from other current 3D action titles aside from the setting, and that isn't compelling enough for me.
With Bayonetta currently making shockwaves and God of War III arriving in March, Dante's Inferno looks rather weak in comparison.
