Game play is very similar,but at least the story is original.Looks like a direct clone of God of War to me.
If the full version is like the demo then it'll be fine. I don't pay attention to reviews but Dante's Inferno has actually received some pretty decent reviews. Some reviewers have marked it down because it's pretty much a direct God of War clone and God of War came first. Some of the excuses I've seen (which are pretty laughable) like it's repetitive, difficult in some parts, and can be a button masher can also be directly attributed to the God of War series, and I'm a huge fan of God of War. I remember reading one review and the guy complained about the fixed camera. Um... hello have you ever seen the camera system in God of War. How about giving me real problems with the game instead of being upset that the guy's name is Dante instead of Kratos? The game can be beaten in a week? How long do you think it took me to beat God of War I and II? Sure Visceral Games straight up copied God of War but from what I've played of the demo and from what I've read from most reviews they've done a pretty damn respectable job.
I agree with you 100%.I don't get why everyone is bashing this game already.They demo was pretty good,the game play was crisp,and the story is somewhat interesting.Too many "fanboys" that are just bashing it just because of it's similarities instead of enjoying it for it's differences.
