EA’s Dante’s Inferno is released tomorrow (feb 5th) and personally, I think I’m going to give it a miss. (Didn’t like the demo)

But what did the major news outlets think about the game?

Here are the summaries of their reviews…

Destructoid
You’re not going to find a wholly original gameplay experience with Dante’s Inferno, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a hell of an entertaining package — it’s one that fans of action shouldn’t miss.

IGN UK
Ultimately, our issue is simple – if you’re going to shamelessly riff on a formula popularised and pretty much perfected by another massive game title – yes, God of War in this instance – you better be damn sure you do it better. And, sadly, aside from its excellent combat system, Dante’s Inferno misses the mark in almost every way.

Eurogamer
Dante’s Inferno is worth considering if you’re a diehard hack-and-slasher fan who loves blood, gore, fire, brimstone, layered but simplistic combat systems and tits. This is more than one big lava level and it’s not a terrible game. It’s just not an original one, and it’s arrived a little too late.

1UP
The game is filled with lots of good and well-executed ideas, but they all seem to exist independently of one another. It’s a popcorn movie that clearly took a good deal of talent to pull together, but comes up short of creating the grand adventure that it seems to be trying for.
