Dante's Inferno Demo Now Available On Xbox Live

Electronic Arts and Visceral Games gave gamers a nice present before Christmas by releasing the Dante's Inferno demo on Xbox Live. Weighing in at just over 1 GB, the demo teases gamers with Dante's somewhat non-badass initial death through his battle with the Grim Reaper, finishing off just as you're about to break through the Gates of Hell themselves. It's fairly brief, but you'll get a quick look at the Holy/Unholy skill trees, the Punish/Absolve mechanic, and a few brutal quicktime event finishers.

This new title has earned many comparisons to God of War, and gamers will finally get a taste of whether or not it holds up to the god-killing romps of Kratos. Have you had a chance to try it yet? What do you think...solid (and unapologetic) God of War clone or just another wannabe?
