All in all, Dante's Inferno is good. Not great, but good. There are a few things technically wrong with it and it certainly doesn't win points for originality, but it's good fun all the same. It's just a bit difficult to recommend it with all the similar titles floating around right now. Darksiders offers a more open world, more depth in the RPG elements and better puzzling, Bayonetta has better combat and is just straight-up more fun and GoW III is just round the corner for PS3 owners.
You should buy this if you're either a) an Xbox 360 owner who wants GoW III but can't get it, b) someone who wants to like Clive Barker or c) someone just can't get enough of the hacking and the slashing. Or maybe if you're a goth.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
