This is the official review of Dante's Inferno from gaming website PlanetXbox360.com - they enjoyed the game and said it is a great "God of War" type title for Xbox 360 owners.

Go to Hell - Literally; that is the tagline for this feature review, just keep that in mind as you travel with me through one of the most mature-themed video games coming to market. The first movement of the epic poem The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri relates the story of Dante himself descending into Hell for a guided tour. And though his work is regarded as one of the most important literary masterpieces of all time, it is one twisted piece of work. In his descriptions he holds nothing back, describing in putrid, horrific, visceral detail every sight, sound, and smell he encounters there. The very idea lends itself to such interesting -- if nightmarish -- mental images; it's hard to believe it's taken this long for the video games industry to make a game out of it. Dante’s Inferno from developer Visceral Games captures every bit of the literary tale, and at some times I found myself being shocked by the action-game’s content. EA's Jonathan Knight was the first developer to see the potential in Dante's classic literary story. Reportedly, he read the poem a few years ago and suddenly felt like he'd been handed the blueprint for a video game just waiting to be made. This group of developers/producers is really passionate about the game and it shows so much in the final gaming product.
