Like translating from one language to another, portable versions of console titles require thoughtful interpretation to work well. For whatever reason, it feels like A2M shoved Dante's Inferno as hard as it could into the game development version of Google Translate and have wound up with something that lost most of its meaning and intention in the process. Gamers looking for a fun, well made action title should be looking elsewhere.

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 loved the Xbox/PS3 version, but I just couldnt get into the PSP version. I'm not a graphics whore, but it just didnt draw me in like the home system game.
LOL @ Disagree
it's just the number they happened to pull out of the hat.
Best review on teh internetz!
God Of War: Chains Of Olympus, Dante's Inferno is the second best hack and slash game on the PSP in my opinion.
dantes inferno was a terrible game it was just like the console version but with extremely dumb down graphics and bad controls its annoying to have to press circle after every kill to kevek up youre absolve ability since you have to turn the controller side ways for maximum button pressing
