Dante’s Inferno has debuted at number 4 in the UK All Format Charts.

Releasing in the UK on Friday last week, Dante’s just lost out to Mass Effect 2, Just Dance and Modern Warfare 2 in the race to the top spot, with the latter continuing to sell well even four months on after release.

However, the titled secured the number two position in each of the individual PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 charts, being pipped to the post by online multiplayer shooter MAG and Mass Effect 2 respectively.

It’s a decent first week showing for the hellishly good action-adventure game, but if you haven’t already bought it, what are you waiting for?

After fighting your way through the nine circles of Hell and completing Dante’s Inferno, you’ll unlock an additional game mode that allows you to replay the game with all of your upgraded stats, relics and abilities from your original playthrough.

Titled ‘Resurrection Mode’, the mode lets you use every purchased combo and equip previously acquired Relics and magic from the off, which should make tackling the Infernal difficulty a damn sight easier while allowing you to reach those higher Holy/Unholy levels and max out your abilities had you not already done so.
