Dante’s Inferno

Admit it, you absolutely love this game.

Many people are so reluctant to embrace Electronic Arts’ latest masterpiece because; one, nobody likes Electronic Arts, and two, Dante’s Inferno obviously steals a lot of things the God of War franchise has established since its inception.

Dante’s Inferno follows the story of the game’s protagonist, Dante, as he steps into the nine stages of hell in hopes of salvaging his beloved Beatrice from the clutches of Lucifer himself. Dante has done a lot of evil things for his country as a crusader and it was only a matter of time before he gets to spend all eternity in hell.

Of course, all things changed when Beatrice was slain to let Lucifer recover her soul. Lucifer then led Dante to his inferno in hell where literally all hell broke loose.

Graphically, Dante’s Inferno can rival the best visuals ever seen on this generation of game consoles. Running at 60 frames per second, Dante’s Inferno looks smooth and crisp as you play as Dante, traversing through all nine stages of hell.

Dante will encounter the sins he committed when he was still a crusader for his country. Whether he gets to save his beloved Beatrice in the end is all up to you.

Dante’s Inferno is probably the sleeper for Game of the Year honors. I know I’m rooting for it this early. The God of War franchise has been a big addition to the gaming industry but Dante’s Inferno was able to take it up a notch.
