I really enjoyed the Dante's Inferno demo, the combat system was solid, I absolutely loved the setting and think it'll be no slouch in the hack n slash genre. It's hard to get any idea of depth from a demo, but my one worry was it didn't seem like the whole RPG elements / unlocking moves for Dante's was much to get excited about, albeit I guess that can keep the game balanced.

Saying that, I've not played the Bayonetta demo yet (It's on my hard drive waiting for installation lol), I've never played a God of War game (Release that GOW Collection in EU Sony!) and I'm pretty sold on Darksiders, minus the terrible choice of release date. Dante's definitely surprised me, but in recent years the only game of this type I played was Ninja Gaiden Sigma so maybe I just don't know better yet :P.

Am not christian

but Merry Christmas to you too

Dante's Inferno is to God of War as Deca Sports is to Wii Sports, Crash Team Racing is to Mario Kart, EA Sports Active is to Wii Fit, and Digimon is to Pokemon, all mashed up into one big fat rip off conglomerate.

Like many have said before, if you only have a 360, then Dante's Inferno will be great for you....but for PS3 owners, especially those who have the GoW3 demo....and have played the Dante's demo......2 weeks ago, well, there's just no comparison, unless all you have to say is "Dante's Inferno is a complete and utter rip off of God of War"

more like god of war on hemorrhoids imo...

I think you just hit the nail on the head......

In other news, why are people comparing GoW to Bayonetta...to the extent they are comparing it to Dante's Inferno? Nobody ever compares GoW to DMC, unless they say "these are hack n slash games". If you want to compare games on grounds of what is most similar to what, the DI is a complete ripoff of GoW, and Bayonetta should be compared to DMC...it was made by the same guy, you know? Gameplay mechanics of Bayonetta are reminiscent of DMC, with its' own style. DI doesn't have its' own style. I said this in another thread: I think EA just found the code for GoW, modded it with a Divine Comedy skin, then said it was a unique game.....

It's like what Treyarch did with CoD:WaW....everyone just called it Modern Warfare with a WWII skin.....

for me it felt like a GOW without the things that make gow so good

It was fun if only due to the fact that it is a carbon copy of God of War. Instead of chests, you have fountains, you use them in the same way. The presentation is freakishly similar, even the type of CGI. They have even implemented riding and controlling foes, a feature first announced to be part of GoW III. The graphics do suck, however.

All in all, between GoW III and GoW-me-too, I'll go with GoW III.

i thought the CGI looked great, but am i the only one who thought they could have hired a more talented artist for the "Comic" Sequences? They actually looked horrible!

i stand corrected, "saddly" was the wrong word that i used

i should have said "GOW and DI are very similar, you can tell that DI has alot of influence from GOW but imo GOW seems better from what i've played."

also your not the only one about the comic book parts in DI, acually i really dont like the cutscenes at all in the game. Sure the CG is rendered nice but its not really well animated...only at some parts did it seem believeable. The 2d animated parts seemed out of place, the style they choose is very interesting and again its animated very poorly as if its just a tack on.

ROFLOL...neither am I...so merry holidays!
