Dante's Inferno

when i 1st saw the trailer of Dante's Inferno, it was really interesting. it's an action adventure game, a genre that EA seldom produces. i told myself i need to try this game out as it looks interesting enough. when the demo was out on xbox live's marketplace, i downloaded it immediately. played through it and was kind hesitant whether should i purchase the game or not.

1 thing for sure as i was playing the demo, i kept asking myself, am i playing God of War? it was so damn similar, especially the gameplay. the fighting combos, the upgrading "currency", the character movements, the life and mana refills and the soundtrack. besides having a different weapon, Dante and Kratos have really similar fighting combos. i wont say about the in-game "currency" as many action games nowadays have almost the same design: kill-something-and-get-souls-to-upgrade-something. the way Dante and Kratos move around looks similar too, maybe they are using similar physics engine... life and mana refills feels almost identical, except for the visuals. the soundtrack, REALLY sounds like a God of War track.

i really like God of War, but i'm not sure if i'm willing to spend money to buy a game that feels almost the same after playing the demo. i guess i will have to wait till i get more feedback from frens and such, and at the same time, if i can get my hands on a cheap pre-owned copy of the game, i'll probably buy it and give it a try.
