TELETEXT GAME CENTRAL: 5/10: The works of both Dante Alighieri and David Jaffe are defiled in this shallow and puerile actioner.
THE NEW YORK TIMES reports:
"It's just a gross misrepresentation of the original work," said Rob Bricken,
editor of the geek-culture blog ToplessRobot.com. "They're not interested in getting kids into literature - they're not looking to do anything except sell some books to dumb kids."

"The story line is not Dante's, period," said Teodolinda Barolini, the Lorenzo Da Ponte Professor of Italian at Columbia University and a former president of the Dante Society of America. "It's kind of a mishmash of current popular ideas, projected back into the Middle Ages." --http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/30/arts/television/30inferno.html?pagewanted=2
Christopher M. McDonough, an associate professor of classical languages at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., was skeptical that the game would encourage more players to read Dante's work. --NY Times

"The whole concept of killing babies is just horrendous on its own, but to add fuel to the fire, the title is 'Bad Nanny,' which I think is unconscionable," Wendy Sachs, co-president of the INA. Though unbaptized infants are mentioned in the original poem, she said that "the book is a story that's read and digested and put away ... whereas a game like this is stringing the ideas from the story and putting it into an interactive mode." As for Sunday night's ad, she said, "I think that it's just outrageous that anybody would promote a game that promotes killing babies and rewarding that."

lolzlzzllzlz!!! epic eafail!!
1up.com concludes: "Perhaps if EA had spent some of that marketing money on creating an original game -- instead of trying to be overtly "offensive" -- this game could have went somewhere."
i agree with 1up.com--they are experts!!
"The protagonist is chasing after his beloved Beatrice, but I don't remember Beatrice's boobs hanging out in Alighieri's poem. "

"Sure, it's a bastardization in the sense that it's a bastard child of the original material." --Jonathan Knight, in Jonathan Knight: Dante's Inferno "Bastardization" of Epic Poem @ http://spawnkill.com/2010/01/30/jonathan-knight-dantes-inferno-bastardization-of-epic-poem/ LOZLLZLZLZL!!
llzozlzlzl!

Unfortunately, some derivative combat sequences and a shallow combo system prevent the title from becoming a truly great experience. The ending is obviously setting up a full-fledged series, but Dante's Inferno suffers from unoriginal gameplay features that action fans have seen before, which keeps it from making its true mark.

"It doesn't carry the emotional or moral weight that it should; for a game set in Hell, it's surprisingly bland."
http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/213817/dantes-inferno/
simply not a good game.
read the manly book & play real, manly, intelligent videogames instead of ea's dumbed-down farce with 5.8/10 gameplay as teamxbox reports!
why waste your time/money?
why support Jonathan Knight's massive market-cap jilling, culture-killing, gow-killing corporation that tries to make up for sucky gameplay by stripping beatrice naked, casting her into hell, and trying to sell her boobies to the fanboyz mashing buttons in their single mom's basements??

"#EAFail is a total cluster*** of misogyny and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Here are a bunch of resources on it. (Last updated August 3 at 10:00 PM EST.)"
What is up with people even *considering* this epic eafailsuck?
http://www.teletext.co.uk reports: "If you've never encountered the original 14th century poem it may not be obvious just what a ridiculous idea this game is.
Dante was not an ex-crusader and he did not sew cloth crosses into his chest.
He didn't beat up Death and steal his scythe, nor was he trying to rescue his girlfriend from Satan and, most importantly, he didn't use any combo attacks he'd learnt from God Of War.
Ignoring the breathless stupidity that underpins the whole concept there's also the equally shameful issue of how closely this copies Sony's PS2 classic."

teletext conlcludes, "The main issues aren't technical though but conceptual. In dishonouring two classics the end result isn't hellish torture, just purgatorial tedium."--http://www.teletext.co.uk
