Dante's Inferno is another hack and slash game that is set to come out February 9, 2010 (assuming there's no pushbacks). The game is supposed to be loosley based on Inferno, the first book of Dante Alighieri's poem The Divine Comedy. You will play as Dante, a veteran of the Crusades, who pursues his lover Beatrice to try and free her soul from Lucifer, who needs to wed a heaven-bound soul to break free of Hell and make another attempt to take over the Throne of God. On his way through the nine circles of hell to Lucifer, Dante must face his past sins and war crimes. This story is definately a change from the norm which makes me interested. Instead of trying to save the world or something from being destroyed, you're just trying to save a person you love from being damed to Hell for an eternity. Although when you bring in the fact that the only way to save you loved one is by helping Lucifer try to retake the Throne of God, it makes the story even more intriguing. In the end will Dante realize he could be damning the world just to save his loved one? Even if he does succeed and save her, will they live in the world that Lucifer has taken over and probably just turned into hell? It makes you curious about what the ending will be, and whether or not you'll be able to decide what Dante does or if it's a set story. Either way, I'm fine with it because I think that the whole "choose your way - good or evil" is starting to be overused in video games. It seems like a good concept, but when every game starts using a form of it, it gets old quick. Either way, I'm looking forward to the reviews of this game.
