Demo for Dante's Inferno coming this December photo

Those on the fence about Visceral Games' videogame adaptation of Dante Alighieri's poem The Divine Comedy will get their shot to try it out this December. Electronic Arts has announced that a demo for Dante's Inferno will be available for download next month.

The demo will expore the game's "Gates of Hell," and giving you a chance to hack and slash your way up to a battle with Death himself. The demo will also feature two of the game's cut-scenes, which promise to (at the very least) be flashy.

"The demo will give everyone some insight into how we are treating the story and a taste of the gameplay," says executive producer Jordan Knight. 

So, naysayers -- are you willing to give Visceral the benefit of the doubt? Will you give the Dante's Inferno demo a try?

If it's the same demo that was at PAX, a lot of people will be upset.

I played this game at Comicon and it was pretty darn good. I actually like it better than God of War because of the setting and potential message to the reader/player.

Oh yes I will be playing it. Those familiar with God of War will feel right at home with how the game works.

I'm no naysayer... I embrace Visceral and whatever they do. I'll gladly download the demo.

As I have already encountered some disappointment in games that I deemed good before I've tried them only to find out that they're sh*t after the fact that I purchased them, I feel that I'm going to rent this first. I'd rather rent the full game then to try the not-finished demo.

I'd love the chance to play a demo before deciding on whether or not to buy it.

Something about this game really appeals to me. I don't mind that the game mechanics are basically identical to God of War - the story and setting are different enough that I can't wait to play it.

Will it give us a chance to battle Death, or will it give us a chance to get annoyed because it will end with a cliffhanger in which you were supposed to battle Death ?
