When people refer to a game like Conan or Heavenly as a "God of War clone," they typically mean it's in the third-person hack-n-slash genre and shares a few features like the button-pressing minigames or camerawork or giant bosses. So for the sake of clarity, it's probably best not to call Dante's Inferno a "clone" and lump it in with those descriptions, because Dante's is as complete a forgery as games come, taking approximately 90% of its key features directly from Sony Santa Monica's game.
But because it copies those features with a lot more technical precision than most others that have tried, it's also pretty fun; the game just comes up a bit short at making them all gel together. God of War uses its tools to make you feel like you're on an adventure, constantly seeing new things and playing a key role in the story. Dante's Inferno feels like a bunch of well-designed combat rooms that happens to have a loose story wrapped around it.
