Does anyone else get the impression that Yahtzee's been holding that one in for a long time, either waiting for the absolute perfect moment to use it, or just giving in after he couldn't take it anymore?
Great review Yahtzee, looking forward to Heavy Rain!
Ahhhhh, Yahtzee, forever making me laugh, recommending me games, and showing me that most atheists still don't understand ANY of their favorite punching-bag religion. Your badly misguided jabs at Christianity made me laugh harder than the rest of the review.
This game had me very hyped when i first heard about it. I may be picking this up eventually but first GOW3
I choked on a peanut as he finished with "Hairy bum!".
Excellent review as always, except this is the first one in a while where I've laughed out loud/choked on a peanut.

wow, 6 pages and over 200 replies. let me just read through each and- no, fuck it, i have a billion other sites to visit before the work day ends.
Just wanted to toss in a humble opinion that Dante's graphics are noticably better than GoW2, and GoW3 will not be coming to the xbox360 - so if you only have an xbox360 you will probably love the shit out of this game.
I'm stunned by everyone saying it brutally rips of god of war like that's a bad thing. I am unaware of any "like god of war" game i can enjoy on the xbox360 that is half as good as this. wtf?
It's like reviewing Dead Space and saying it's a brutal Resident Evil 4 rip off with some extra bullshit, so just wait for the next RE game. - Actually, no, Dead Space is a pretty sweet game that chooses polish and mood instead of innovation.
I haven't completed iDante yet, admitted, but so far I've found it ridiculously hard to put down. At no point have I felt bored. It moves along exceedingly well.
my question for Yahtzee would be:
If God of War didn't exist, wouldn't Dante's Inferno be a good game?
i think the marketing department fucked this game. If it'd been handled differently we'd all be laughing our asses off at the huge balls on these fuckers who took a classic epic poem and turned it into 13 year old heavy metal fantasy. Everyone would want it. We'd all be high fiving and saying snarky shit like "have you read the divine comedy?" "no, but I have beaten it."
...
I mean - when you die, it quotes the poem while loading. THAT IS HILARIOUSLY AWESOME.

Not amused by the masturbation jokes nearly as much as the rest of the fanbase. Still, it seems to reaffirm the standard complaints about the game, while tossing in a few bum and wank jokes.
Was already passing on this game, given the complaints that the last (insert portion) of the game was lackluster and unimaginative. Well, not passing, but waiting until it's 20 bucks or less. This certainly helped keep that feeling alive.

K, I'll buy Darksiders. Fiiiiiine.LazyAza said:
(everyone keeps saying it's like God's tits).
But isn't it a big zelda rip off? Maybe i've gotten my reviews confused...
I have played some of Bayonetta, and love the bizarre tone (humor? cultural-difference insanity-juice?). But I find it hard to sit through the cut scenes. And I thought it was "technically" considered a Devil May Cry rip off. in the science of rippeth offeth-ish. ness. (though I wonder if it isn't really a rip off of MGS4, which had legendarily long/boring cut scenes, yeah? I won't buy MGS4 because i don't like cut scenes. but. i wonder...)
With dante's, on the first play through, I found myself crawling along walls into the Lust realm, at two in the morning on a work night, and thought - OK! JESUS! i need to stop playing! damnnn.
which is to say:
I just thought the flow was really excellent.
I kept saying "ok, just a little more". which is a difficult user-experience to master, methinks.
HAW!
and some have said he has lost his touch!
Thank you for the engaging review,
you saved me time and money that I would never get back otherwise...............
