Completed Dante's Inferno Demo. OMG! This game is going to be a killer title for next year. I haven't tried the PS3 demo, but the 360 one looked visually beautiful and ran at constant 60 frames per second. I love the whole presentation of this game and the boss fights. The demo just begged to have more content in it. I upgraded a few moves and there were tons more that I could see.
So is it a God of War clone? Well, if you consider the gameplay mechanics, then yes, it is. The QTE, the health meter, mana meter, abilities, health stones and heck it has even lifted God of War's Rage mode, where your attack speed almost doubles and you take no damage. So in an essence, it has the same touch as God of War.
But what makes this game worthwhile is it's visual art style. The environment around you makes you actually show what hell would look like. The storyline too is good, which is originally taken from the Italian poem, Diving Comedy. Graphics are stunning and lighting effects add a great deal of realism to it. The execution styles are extremely brutal. If you thought God of War had nudity, then wait till you see this game. You'll find Beatrice topless throughout the demo. The cut-scene quality is top-notch with a mix of CGI and comic style blending.
The audio again has the God of War feeling attached to it. With high choir vocals and dark tunes.
So overall, the demo impressions are extremely high. I now have high expectations with the game. Hope the final games manages to surpass it.
