Dante's Inferno is an upcoming third-person action-adventure game to be published by Electronic Arts and in development by Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores). The game is very loosely based on Inferno, the first book of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. The story of the game is written by Will Rokos, who wrote the film Monster's Ball. The game was produced by Justin Lambros and assistant produced by Zach Mumbach. The game has been touted as being very similar to the God of War games, in which there are light and heavy attacks as well as magic. Dante's primary weapon is a scythe, which he steals from Death, as seen in the opening preview of the game. He also has magical powers such as a holy cross (given to him by Beatrice before her death) which fires a burst of light that destroys anything in its path.

GiantBomb 4.0            

That Dante's Inferno is almost proudly derivative of Sony's God of War series isn't inherently a bad thing, but its lack of unique accomplishments makes for a hollow experience.

GiantBomb 8.0            

It would seem that a change of perspective is all Lara Croft needed to revitalize her tomb-raiding antics.

 

GameSpot 8.5            

Exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving come together beautifully in this rewarding, replayable arcade adventure.

How Lara got her groove back.

 

1UP 8.5            

Lara Croft's single-player is competent but incomparable to the sheer joy of raiding tombs with a couch-side friend.
