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

In August 2014, Tal Peleg, senior cinematic animator at Naughty Dog, released a fan-made CGI short movie inspired by the game, titled Dante's Redemption. It sold over one million copies worldwide and spawned a comic book miniseries and an animated movie, Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic, which was released direct-to-DVD simultaneously with the game. In addition to the level, the download also includes an additional "Disco Inferno" costume, a novelty piece in the style of polyester disco fashion wear. After arriving at and travelling beyond Limbo, Dante confronts the serpentine Judge of the Damned, King Minos ( Richard Moll). The Dante's Inferno project had separate anime studios being tapped to create visuals of the nine levels of the Inferno.theres moments of rage from the difficult challenge sections like fight off a hoard of enemies, small sections of puzzle solving, bosses are challenging but not souls challenging.

There is also a series of environment-based puzzle sequences that can impair the progress of Dante's quest, such as requiring the correct positioning of movable objects or pulling levers at the appropriate time. 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. Lucia Edition" was released in Italy, containing the Dark Forest and Trials of St Lucia DLCs and St. Overcoming this, Lucifer appears before Dante with Beatrice, revealing that she is damned because she made a bet with him that Dante would be faithful to her, and Dante's infidelity damned her soul to Lucifer.In addition to the standard retail copy of the game, a second limited special edition of the game for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 was released alongside known as the " Death Edition". A few days later, it was officially confirmed by EA spokesman Tammy Scachter that they had hired people to protest the game and that there was no actual protest. Dante's Inferno was a third person action-adventure game published by Electronic Arts and developed by Visceral Games. 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.

Similar to the Death Edition, the Divine Edition includes nearly all the same features except the Isaac Clarke costume and the animated scene but instead includes a code for the Dark Forest downloadable content, to be released later in March.While Game Informer also found the gameplay to be too familiar, they did find the additional elements such as the punish/absolve mechanic and usable relics to give the title "some individuality". 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. However, some reviews felt the creativity waned towards the end of the game, such as GameSpot who felt "Dante's epic quest loses momentum long before you reach the end", praising earlier levels such as Lust and Gluttony yet criticizing the 10 stage challenge level of Fraud and the use of enemies outside of their respective circle. Beatrice, now broken-hearted by Dante's betrayals, willingly gives herself to Lucifer by eating three seeds of a pomegranate.
