Dante's Inferno 'St. Lucia' DLC in Screenshots

March 31, 2010 3:40 PM

The next batch of downloadable content for Dante's Inferno arrives in under a month--April 29, to be exact--and to make sure we don't forget, publisher Electronic Arts passed along some new screenshots of both 'The Trials of St. Lucia' and the 'Dark Forest' DLC.

The as-yet-unpriced 'Trials of St. Lucia' add-on brings a new playable character--St. Lucia herself--and online coopertaive play to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the hellish beat 'em up, plus a gameplay editor so you can make your own trials.

As for 'Dark Forest,' the $4.99 / 400 Microsoft Point prequel level arrived in early March, though those who bought a new PlayStation 3 copy of Dante's Inferno got it free.

Was this on 360? I can;t see any reason to get this on PS3..seeing as how GOW 3 is out.

  It was on 360, but there are plenty of reviews out there that pan it as derivative of God of War. Here's Ryan Davis' 2-star review on Giant Bomb: http://www.giantbomb.com/dantes-inferno/61-24827/
  
  And Ryan Davis' 4-star review of God of War III: http://www.giantbomb.com/god-of-war-iii/61-20461/
  
  Consider that Visceral themselves marketed this game as "Dead Space meets God of War IN HELL!!" ( http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58478 )

    But if the game is great, then who cares? I don't know if it is, never played it, just saying.

  The reason to get it on PS3 is that for the same price as the 360 version, you get the first DLC included in the game, and I think another costume or something. The "Divine Edition" was PS3-only.

  It's still a pretty good game. Even if it is a God of War clone. It could've been SO much worse. It's got some rough patches, and you can just spam the fuck out of one ability and win, but I still enjoyed it enough to beat it in a few hours.
