Clearly not among the best games of the genre, or the quarter, and NOT the "killer" of a certain other hack and slash, but it's not as bad as some people expected.

1UP: C+ (58 by Metacritic, but more like a 65-70)

Not bad. I hope the game sells nicely.

god this game must be bad to get such awful reviews *goes out to get WKC*

This makes things much easier for GoW III.

Dante's Inferno chronicles? i was expecting lots of 8s and 9s. "gow killer",etc.

Hmm, yeah, it's about mid-high seven material.

the ps3 link doesnt work. conspiracy theory?

I thought this was God of War on steroids?

I kid I kid.

NOT SO FAST BUSTER!!!

So this is obviously a God of War rip-off, and reviewers don't seem to shy away of saying that, in fact everyone's in everywhere is allowed to express their feeling about that...

BUT, for some strange reason, you will most likely get warned and maybe even banned for saying the same thing to the Forza series... That game is also an obvious GT rip-off, but it's a bannable offense to say that, and what's more strange is that most reviewers praise that aspect of the game, instead of criticizing it like they do with Dante's Inferno.

I was also surprised at how reviewers praised Braid and made it sound like it was the best thing to happen to gaming, while in fact, the game is a huge Mario rip-off with some new gameplay mechanics here and there.

I have personally played Forza, Braid, and Dante's Inferno (demo) and all these games are amazing, but I hate it how one of these games is accused for being a rip-off, while the others are getting a free pass.

I am baffled by the inconsistency.
