Bayonetta I can see being called better than God of War, but as someone who played all 3 demoes and all the God of War games I don't think Dante's Inferno was even as good as God of War 1. It was bad. Very bad. Gameplay was horrible, plot of the game was some sick bastardization of the epic poem reworked to show as much boobs and guts as possible, and it lacked any of the clever setting of God of War.
See, while Kratos may be a meathead, God of War is actually pretty accurate to the coniving bastards that the Greek Pantheon was in the original Greek epics, and deserves credit for a pretty successful recreation of ancient Greece and its mythology.
Dante's Inferno plays like someone read the cliff notes to the poem, then said "you know what, fuck this. Copy the names of characters and scrap everything else."
