After much deliberation and reading so many reviews from my regular websites like NowGamer and OXM and Destructoid, I decided to purchase Dante's Inferno for the Xbox 360.
As ive said before in one of my previous posts about the fact that i really enjoyed the demo, all the cut scenes and gameplay were really good. I still felt the same when i played beyond the demos ending point in the retail version.
The major selling point i would say for Dante's Inferno is that the Story is original where Dante was foolish to belive that he would be Absolved of any sins going into a war and thinking that his wife Beatrice would be still there for him(Alive) when he got back,taken by the Greed for which he slept with one of the slaves for his own pleasure and letting his wifes brother take the blame for a crime that HE commited. For when Dante arrives back home he sees that his father was killed and his wife murdered to be taken away by the evil and by Lucifer. Bent of revenge and to free Beatrice, Dante goes through Hell literally to get her spirit back...
As engrossed into the story i was,without noticing the time i had completed the story in 6 hours and in the process maxing out the Holy Path and going through the gates of hell(Hoarde Mode). All this in its first day out?
I love to play through a game several times to complete side missions but i got most of the points out of it and Bioshock 2 is soon to be out on Tuesday

You would rather spend $60.00 on a game and beat it in 5 hours, so you can move on to another $60.00 game? Instead of buying three games on one day, or near each others launch, why don't you just buy one and beat it? By the time you finish, one of the others will be $15.00 cheaper. And by the time you finish that second one, the third one will be $30.00 cheaper. LOGIC MAN! Use it.
But I suppose if you "consider the length of this game a good thing" for $60.00, you don't really care about saving money on games after launch day.
Your probably right. Well, the games I listed are limited editions so waiting for them to decline in price isn't a option (at least for me). Also, I would miss out on their pre-order bonuses (Dante's Inferno figure is $40). Just because retrozoid passed the game in 6 hours doesn't mean I will match his time. I can also play thru the game more than once. Future DLC will also expand the life of the game. would you call factoring all of this into my purchase illogical?
So in the end, is it worth $60. Probably not, but it will be diffrent for me for I will get a free figure, all the stuff that comes with the limited edition, and I will only spend $20 (should mention I have a $40 gift card).
