I recently had the extreme displeasure of reviewing what might be the biggest rip-off of a great game ever. Of course I'm talking about EA's Dante's Inferno. From front to back this game took Sony's God of War and butchered it to a fraction of what it once was.
The plot isn't bad, it tells the story of Dante, a knight with a shady past, who fights mythical beasts in an attempt to save his girlfriend. (Where have we heard this before? *cough*godofwar*cough*)
For a psp game, it isn't bad. Actually compared to most psp games I've come across, it's pretty well designed. But the only thing that kills the game is the complete and utter copying EA did off of Sony's masterpiece.
I did a side by side comparison and found that not only are details and plot points almost identical, but the button layout is, not kidding, exactly the same. That's right.
Also, just a minor complaint, but the enemy selection in this game was pretty horrid. I get it that the game is about Christianity, and not the Greek Gods, but seriuosly, you have to fight basicly regular people. And babies. You heard me. Babies.
Although I shouldn't give it the complete shoop-da-wooping of a lifetime. It did have some impressive animation, and you do get Death's scythe to smack around demon's with.
If it wasn't a rip-off of God of War, I may have given it a higher rating. Overall I give it a 5/10. It's kind of enternaining, but it just makes you want to play as Kratos.
