If ripping off the gameplay of another title was a sin, there'd be a circle in hell reserved exclusively for Dante's Inferno. Its combat, magic system, finishing moves, and various other gameplay mechanics unapologetically ape God of War to the point where Kratos fans will feel right at home in Lucifer's den. Inferno mimics even the most mundane and inexplicable tasks, like requiring the player to mash the action button to open doors, cementing this title's status as a bonafide God of War copycat.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
i guess this is as close to god of war that 360 players can experience. As for ps3 owners gow will easily crush this game.
I really don't care to much for the hack n' slash.
I thought this game would score higher based on the demo, but it does in fact appear to be very average.
I also thought it would get higher based on the demo maybe around 85 on Metacritic
oh well I might wait for it to come down in price now, its not like I dont have lots of games to play
need to complete ME2, playthrough a renegade run on ME1, bioshock 2
then Heavy Rain, then GOW 3
although I gotta say heavy rain is exciting me more than heavy rain
Where are all those people calling me names cause I said this game wouldn't be good? And 8 hours? Come on!
been getting kinda average reviews. Still buying it though, I really need to explore the 9 circles of HELL. After Dead Space I'll play through any Viceral game. I'm glad EA decided to man up and create a branch that deals with copious amounts of gore in video games. And they succeeded.
of course GOW will slash, rape, pillage, slice, behead, catapult, skin, tear apart, draw and quarter this game, but it's nice to have something to play till that ;)
