    At first i saw the graphics and was pleasantly surprised, but the gameplay let me down so much that the game only deserves a 4. Avoid this game.

    The game is really boring, especially recover health. Yeah graphics are quiet good and our hero has some possibilities but it doesn't add the game interest. Besides, unhandy to lean to a wall. To peep out from behind a corner is a half-working feature.

    i don't understand why people are giving this game a high score yes it has a good theme yes it has a good story but it has the most terrible gameplay i've seen in ages so repetitive and so boring

    A decent story of good versus evil, but mixed with it's horrible gameplay makes this title painful to play even for the most die hard FPS/TPS players.

This game on it's face looks polished, but is a complete letdown where gameplay is concerned, and the plot is so thin (there is very little setup and absolutely no apparent justification for your aligning yourself with the very organization you'd previously sought to destroy except some weak pretense that you'll need to "to survive." In the tutorial levels the lopsidedness really shines through, in places you'll die from falling less than a story (falling a similar distance in other games of this type merely hurt the player) while on the other hand without armor or explanation you can take truly ridiculous amounts of damage from gunfire on the "Medium" difficulty -- not to mention you gain health from looting corpses, essentially turning everyone you shoot into a health potion. Couple this with frustrating save convention -- you'll constantly find yourself doing GIANT stretches of minimally entertaining content when you accidentally happen upon something that can actually kill you (hint: it's a terrain feature or a boss battle) because the autosave points are insanely far apart and it won't let you save at will. Picture a pearl-polished shot glass, containing an ice cold gulp of diarrhea. That's Infernal. Purchase at your peril.… Expand

    I liked the game, although sometimes it can be irritating. The graphics are cool, the story is never-seen-before, and the gameplay is nice (especially your demonic powers). It's rather fun.

    I like the graphics and the maps , while the weapons and abilities are great. Figuring out the game without reading the manual , was fun from the beginning. I like the way you have to retrieve ammo and weapons from enemies , because it makes you vulnerable. Finding enemies who apparently are hiding , or looking for you is shocking and fun.

The only lack of anything I see is that the gameplay is not fully in an open enviroment as some games are. Definately , the sound is great , especially with the ability to select 3D sound , where the weapons sound real. The game is kind of spooky , while you kill enemies in long robes in a church etc. What's not to like?… Expand

    looks like what the next resident evil is probly going to look like and the idea of shooting stuff out of your hand instead of wasting bullets makes the game more entertaning

    Really enjoyable TPS, it does borrow a lot from previous game releases over the last few years but hey! it works and works quite well.

    Played the demo and loved it... Went out the next day and bought it. The graphics, sound and music are great. I also love the style. Voice acting is good and interesting story. The gameplay is fun with nice weapons and abilities. Just gotta love it! (gotta get some tattoo's like that)

    Infernal is a beautiful and visually stunning fun game that was satisfyingly fun to the end. It has a smooth and fluid game play feel all the way through. Cinematic cut scenes to voice synchronizations were not the best imo, but were not a huge distraction, as I have seen worse.

    Great graphics, I like the concept of the demon powers thing and I think the combat system is fairly new for a 3rd person shooter deal. I think the gameplay is smooth and its only downfall is that the controls are a bit clumsy to get used to when you first start playing.

    Great game, awesome graphics, ok story, over 5 weapons, the combat slows down just long enough to catch your breath, then throws you right back into the mix, youll love this game.

    Graphics were great, but the game play sucked, the acting was about as good as an old 50's movie, and there were not enough weps for me.

    Infernal isn't an infernal game, it's a demonic good action game.

The graphics are superb, the environments and the levels are interesting and the gameplay mechanics rather well thought too.

    Interesting concept to short of game play, the last bosses are a bit of a joke, ones early in the game were much harder to crack. Not a bad but could have been better.

    A very solid 3rd person shooter. The Story is about betrayal and finding out the truth.

The Enemy is sometimes pretty stupid so for some people that are looking for something a bit more challenging might get disappointed. There is also no checkpoint saving and manual saving. It only uses 'Autosaving' so if you die before a certain point then have to start all over. It can get in the way of an enjoyable experience. The game is pretty much linear shooting with a few puzzles but overall straightforward. Overall, a good solid shooter that plays similar to Max Payne.… Expand

    The mish-mash of styles and derivative elements on show make the whole game seem like a whistle-stop tour of the last generation’s classic action titles. [Mar 2007, p.116]

    In its better moments it's a guilty pleasure, in its worst it's embarrassingly retrograde. By being consistently fairly slick with it, it easily avoids skimming the lowest depths, but really it's the kind of game we've all long since grown out of. Or so I like to tell myself, anyway.

    Graphics aside Infernal is a pretty mediocre third-person shooter in a genre already boasting Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War: given this, and Gears' inevitable arrival on the PC, it's difficult to recommend Infernal.
