Dante's Inferno shows a lot of promise. Loosely based off of the epic Dante's Inferno by Dante. In the game demo, Dante is a knight of the 3rd crusade stationed at the fortress city of Acre near Jerusalem. It turns out that Richard, the leader of the crusade, took some people prisoner to bargain with Saladin. This plan is set to the wayside and Dante must guard them. They somehow escape and attack Dante. Later, Dante learns that the love of his life, Beatrice, has been slaughtered. She prayed to God to let the poet Virgil guide Dante through Hell. Dante embarks on a frantic journey through the 9 rings of Hell to find her soul and rescue her. Interestingly, though almost none of this is based off of the epic, most of the enemies you fight are based off of Dante's description. The controls are fluid and intuitive, and the graphics are fan-dabby-babulous, but why shouldn't they be? All games have amazing graphics these days. The thing that grabbed me about Dante's Inferno is that it has a decent story. Other than games like the Silent Hill, Final Fantasy, and the Legend of Zelda, story has been set aside for epic fights. Dante's Inferno is one of 2 recent releases that has an amazing story, the other being Bayonetta. I am actually looking forward to playing the full game after I get it. Dante's Inferno is released 2/9/10. Buy it. The story is worth it.
