Not a very long game, I finished Dante’s Inferno late last night after about 10 hours of gameplay.  I unlocked a few bonus features, as well as the ability to play through the game again with all of my powers, although I don’t know if that’d be enough for me to rent it again.

I’ll say this: I had fun.  There were parts that made me a bit squeamish and there was definitely what I’d deem excessive amounts of nudity and gore, but the actual button-mashing combo-unlocking gameplay was exciting.

Spoilers after the break.

That’s not to say there weren’t things I found annoying.  There were certain enemies that, without buying a particular combo, are frustrating to kill simply due to the amount of time it takes to wear them down.  There are certain jumping puzzles that, with the fixed camera, simply aren’t fun; dying while trying to judge camera distance is never fun.  Lastly, the first half of the final fight with Lucifer had me spamming my ranged attack and using my healing spell for five minutes with little variation.  Was I doing something wrong, or was it really meant to be that boring?

Either way, it was a fun game to play through and the game works best when I’m feeling super powerful.  Other times, when I fail to make a jump because of collision I didn’t know was there, the game feels stupid.
