Infernal is yet another TPS with amazing graphics, gameplay and also has a good soundtrack.

The character that we play in the game is Ryan Lennox, a stylish(Tatooed ;) ) ex-angel.

There is a man who can feed your power if you'll help him restore the balance between good and evil. Of course, you don't really have a choice, and after a brief tutorial and some introductory jabber, you'll be blasting your hell-driven way through monasteries, aircraft carriers and satellite centers.

The mission(Which Black has in mind) has to be accomplished fast( :) ) and so the game has only 5 missions.The game has a lot of guns which fire as expected.The game has two basic attributes i.e. Health and Mana.Health is replinished after u kill an enemy and take his soul, and on the other hand mana is replinished when u kill a certain type of enemy or when you r i an unholy(Dark) aura.There is also infernal vision with which you can see the hidden objects(Health & Mana pickups and some digital door keys).Then with the help of mana you can also perform teleportation (initial to 1 place, later to three places one at a time.) and also give increased power to the bullets. By Double tapping the movement keys, the character can perform a roll rendering him invisible.(only through the roll).This helps you to pass through lasers and tripwires.

The gameplay is not so intresting because the enemies which appear throughut the game are the same old monks and some with extra power.There are traps and puzzles in the levels but they merely make the game intresting.The ending of the game i.e. the final boss fight is also a bit foolish. You just got to press the buttons on the three computers scattered near the boss(Black in Devil form) and that's it ,the game is over.

Otherwise bug-free, Infernal does have some trouble with collision detection(probably a Glitch) consistently, a problem particularly when you're hugging a wall for cover and peeking around corners to shoot, If an enemy charges to your concealment spot and you pop out of cover, your bullets magically pass through his body, while of course his (bullets) in relation to your body conveniently won't, i.e.it will hit you. The only solution's to back off the wall and needlessly expose yourself to enemy fire.

But on the whole: The game has got amazing graphics, not so intresting gameplay, a stylish character, not so cool enemies and a good soundtrack.

Thanks.
