If there's one thing Dante's Inferno lacked, it was originality. Lacking the "holy sh–" impact of God of War III, Visceral Games' hack-n-slash felt incredibly pedestrian. That changes with "The Trials of St. Lucia," an upcoming premium DLC pack that introduces the game's first bit of originality.
Tech-Gaming writes: "Critics who chastised Visceral Games for their lenient adaption of Dante’s Inferno will undoubtedly be incensed by the latest downloadable content designed to augment the action game. Veering even further from Alighieri’s prose, The Trials of St. Lucia has players controlling the patron saint of the sightless in an effort to slaughter demonic foes. While pithy purists might balk at such poetic license, most of us will be too busy hectically butchering hellspawn to even care."
Multiplayer.it: Electronic Arts continues to support its flagship title by releasing more or less constant for additional downloadable extra content from the Internet or inside of special editions of its products.

The power to edit, to create, to manipulate this Hack and Slash fest into our own.. our own.. our own… IDIOM! (fairwell, sweet Concorde) And then to share the experience with others. The thing is though, it’s not in the Caribbean at all. St. Lucia is “Patron Saint of the Blind”. Apparently. I’ll tell you what she really is: Double Hard. With wing’s. Flying hard. Don’t mess. She is of course also, a second character to play, in Co-Op. That gets our vote. Saturday night hack and slash fest with your mates. Bring it on St Lucia, and bring your mates. Even the one with the gammy leg."
