From the Butlerniverse

Last time I reviewed DLC for Dante’s Inferno, I said it would be short and sweet, then it was rather long. This time, it actually will be short and sweet.

Game Title: Dante’s Inferno

DLC: Animated Dante

I previously reviewed the game itself, plus the first round of DLC for the game.

The previous DLC were the laughable Soul Packs and the butt-ugly Florentine Dante costume. This week’s new DLC is the Animated Film Dante Costume, which I’ll just call Animated Dante. The costume is based, as the name suggests, on the look of Dante as he appears in Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic, which I covered in the same review as the Dante’s Inferno core game.

The Verdict: Last time around, I really felt like the new Florentine Dante costume was hideous and a complete waste of $1.99 (which says a lot because $1.99 is, what, half a value meal?). This time, I find the purchase at least a wash, rather than something negative. While the stylized costume is interesting in its use of more shiny metal and more pointed portions of his costume, it suffers from the fact that it is just a slightly stylized version of his original costume (which makes sense, given that it’s the animated version thereof from the film). Most of the time, it is pretty tough to tell the difference between this costume and his original one, except for the placement of the ribbon (or whatever it’s called) coming from his costume. Still, if you are into collecting alternate costumes for games, this one is decent enough to leave you thinking “eh, it’s alright” rather than “what the hell is this crap” like the Florentine Dante.

Grade: B (if you are into getting alternate costumes for Dante’s Inferno)
