It's not often that gamers get transported back into the
Middle Ages, but Visceral Games' latest work, Dante's Inferno, allows
them to just that.

The story is very well told, and as Dante ventures deeper into the
circles of Hell, players see it unfold before their eyes in three
different fashions: in-game cutscenes, pre-rendered cutscenes and the
perhaps more interesting animated cartoons. The pre-rendered cutscenes
look absolutely gorgeous, while the animated cartoons offer a glimpse
into Dante's sordid past.
However, there are very few surprises along
the way, and it's more about highlighting Dante's new perspective on
life than a story which challenges the mind with dark and deep
consequences.
