G. The released movie shows a difference in storyline and has been divided into four different styles. Dante's Inferno received "generally favorable reviews" for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions and "mixed or average reviews" for PlayStation Portable version from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic. A playable demo was released for PlayStation 3 on December 10, 2009, and for Xbox 360 on December 24, 2009.

The game was first released in Australia on February 4, 2010, followed by releases in the United Kingdom on February 5 and the United States on February 9. It is here where Lucifer shows Dante how Beatrice and his father Alighiero met their demise, both being slain by the assassin from Acre, revealed to be the husband, not the brother as she claimed, of the captive Dante slept with. Much experience can also be accumulated in absolving the damned souls of many famous figures in history that appear in Dante Alighieri's original The Divine Comedy determining their fate, players enter a mini game where the characters' "sins" move towards the center of the screen, pressing required action symbols once the sin is in place.Dante's Inferno generally used the same characters as in the original poem and the only truly new character was Beatrice's brother, Francesco Portinari. It's only entertaining to swing your blood-soaked scythe for so long because the combat is shallow and the objectives only offer a slight change to the core experience. The Holy Cross had a magical ability that fired a burst of holy light that would destroy everything unholy in it's path. In addition, there are numerous hidden passages where Biblical relics can be found and equipped to improve Dante's abilities.

It's about eight to ten hours of pure, fast-paced action no one should look down on, unless you're just not a fan of the genre. Later in October 2009, EA sent a series of packages to Veronica Belmont at Qore, the PlayStation: The Official Magazine offices and Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of the Escapist's Zero Punctuation column.Dante rides atop Phlegyas who he controls to smash down the walls of the City of Dis and into the sixth circle, Heresy. Dante then enters the second circle, Lust, where he enters the Carnal Tower to find Beatrice, whose soul is slowly being corrupted into a succubus by Lucifer, who also reveals to her that Dante broke his vows to Beatrice, sleeping with a captive woman back in Acre, as the woman offered to have sex with him in exchange for the freedom of herself and her "brother". The Facebook application developer Lolapps similarly adapted a Facebook role-playing game, Battle of the Damned, that lets users fight through the nine circles of hell to rescue their murdered and damned wife. At the beginning of the game, the skill tree is equal in power, but as Dante gains more Holy experience, more abilities become available for purchase.

The first traditional piece of downloadable content was released a month after release on March 4, entitled Dark Forest, a prologue level loosely based on the opening of The Divine Comedy, that sees Dante in a dark forest before meeting Virgil. For example, Cleopatra was now the guardian demon of the second circle rather than a regular Damned soul.

One of the most praised aspects was the game's depiction of Hell, considered creative yet graphic in nature.
