Dante's Inferno Divine Comedy

the following is from:

What Needs Improvement?It's a God of War Clone: It's hard to appreciate a
game for itself when its so focused on being some other game. There are
obviously going to be some similarities between third-person action-adventure
games that feature a section in Hell. Hell's imagining in the minds of Man
hasn't really changed much in thousands of years, so when Dante climbs down a
wall made up of people with grasping arms, I can't call that a rip-off of the
beginning of God of War 2 in all fairness. However, most major elements in the
game that I saw like the colors of Mana, Health and Souls are deliberately and
directly lifted from God of War. The controls are cribbed, too, only modified to
fit Dante's scythe for the combos; and even the simple task of opening a door or
accessing a Mana/Health well involve mashing the Circle button in a mini
quicktime event — just like God of War. It feels like EA isn't even trying to
make a game; they're trying to make a mod that re-skins everything Greek to be
Christian (like Dante using a cross to activate the Mana/Health wells).
