Dante's Inferno has been getting good reviews. In this article I mention some interesting facts about the possible history of the game, the game itself and the consoles you play it on.

Unfortunately you will need a games console to play this game. It is available on the PSP, PS3 and XBox 360. Dante's Circle is based on the principle of the three circles of hell. this game is very scary and includes lots of violence.

The website rightfully asks for your location and date of birth before you can gain access to the making of this game.

The soundtrack accompanies the onslaught quite well. Tracks are very gothic and haunting upon the soul. This adds to the shocking graphics within the games appeal.

The title of this games origin is found in a poem by a young Italian poet by the name Dante Alighiera (1308-1321). That poem is called 'The Devine Comedy'. The poem was published during the Venetian period over two hundred years after Dante's death. The poem's message basically is about the soul and its ability and length's it goes to love gOd. The characters in both the game and the poem are the same.

DC comics have also published comics that perhaps led to the necessity of this games publication.

The catch phrase of the games sales is ironically 'Go to Hell'. In this sense I'm sure this actually suggests: measure your soul. Perhaps this game is an easier option.

As far as hack or slash games go this game is very limited in its rival gore. However the game is easy enough to control and the soundtrack and amazing graphics makes this a game worth playing.

Rating: 8/10
