Yahtzee's idea of god [God, G-D?] seems to me like a penis with a face on the mushroom cap and a fake beard before the shaft.

Maybe I would wait for God of War III if I wasn't already pretty bored of the Devil May Cry formula.

Developers are cutting mighty close to the quick here in terms of, "its time to stop milking that cash cow and do something original again." Ah, who I am kidding? Big game developers avoid doing that like it'll give them leprosy.

Regarding the humor of the review: a tad wank heavy, but what can I say? At this point, it seems Wednesdays shoddy incomplete works without a Yahtzee review, and this one was certainly up to snuff. A divine comedy about a God of War knockoff of the divine comedy.

I'm going to assume that you haven't seen the latest trailer for God of War III, because if you have then your first comment doesn't seem to reflect particularly well on you. I think it's safe to say that when God of War 3 is released most, if not all, of the people who are genuinely willing to give the game a chance (as opposed to you apparently) aren't going to be pointing at it and saying Devil May Cry. Especially not after the release of Devil May Cry 4. Please refer to Yahtzee's review of Devil May Cry 4 for a bit more on that point.

I hope your cold passes quickly, Yahtzee. I have one myself at the moment. :-(

In other news, Everyone who thinks "the Bible forbids sex" (whether you agree or disagree) should read Fred Clark's article, "The Abominable Shellfish [http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2004/07/the_abominable_.html]." It shows what the Bible REALLY has to say about sin, and why sex-o-phobes have missed the idea entirely.

How can one so pretty as Yahtzee not find a nice young person to provide all his sexual stimulation for him?

"World's first self insertion fanfic" --*lmao*
I actually watched the whole game being played on YouTube. Word on the hairy bum at the end.
Surprised no mention of Cleopatra's nasty nudity.
I thought the voice acting was really good in the game, so that's a plus (maybe?).
And Beatrice wasn't Dante's wife, they were just engaged, so her doing it with him before getting married really shouldn't have allowed her the "pure soul" moniker they give her in the game.

I actually liked this game...as a rental. I got through it and was glad I did because it was a visual feast, but yeah, it's basically God of War 2.5.
Also, I'm a lefty. So I don't get the joke.

Great video - I really liked this one. Glad the singing box got mentioned. xD (The hairy bum mentions were pretty funny, too. Get some clothes, holy warrior.)

I enjoyed Dante's Inferno. My brother, who has played God of War 2, noted some of the similarities Dante's Inferno had to God of War 2 as he watched me play through it. I don't really mind (which may not be a good thing xD ), but I understand how people could be let down by it. :(

as much as i love the divine comedy, the self-insert fanfiction comment made me laugh for a very long time. great review as usual.

Well apparently I'm the only one who liked this game. I thought it was great, played through it three times in a row.

Sounds like Yahtzee is loosing his voice a bit. I'm afraid to inquire further.

A very useful review. If the promotions hadn't already made me snub this title, I would now certainly not buy it.

Loved that the review came out so early in the week. It just makes me want GOD of War III all the more. And it makes me wonder if he is going to review GOD of War III. It would be funny (and at the same time annoying) if God of War came out and was so different that he was able to use "Like God of War But..."

47th circle? Did Yahtzee just make a REALLY obscure [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/47] Star Trek reference? If so, well played, sir!
