Maybe not gameplaywise, but in terms of gameplay, God of War is a generally easier game than Devil May Cry. There are more things pointing out how Dante wouldn't defeat Zeus as he doesn't have the means at all: You say that Kratos had defeated Zeus with the Gods' power, which is something Dante does not have, for 2/3 of the fight with Zeus, Kratos had taken him head on and managed to land blows on him. Kratos has pretty much proven that he's above any ordinary mortal, being the son of Zeus thus a demigod, so don't try diminishing it based on preference; Kratos has had Godly blood in him from the beginning.The Sisters of Fate alone were more powerful than the Gods in general, and Kratos had no help in defeating them, nor did he have an extra boost in power like he did against Ares; His victory over them is one of the contributions to Kratos' victory in this fight. Kratos can do more than just stop time, he's shown on at least one occasion to be able to travel freely from one point in time to the other, and in controlling to loom chamber, he controls time and fate. A boss like Echidna hardly matches the Hydra at all. Aside from possessing more intelligence, she was nothing more than a lesser version. The Savior was of a more serious background, but its flaws are ones that the Colossus of Rhodes didn't have (i.e. speed that was proportionate to its size), and my point is that Dante had never tossed the Savior with his bare hands like Kratos did against the Colossus, giving him but another strength feat over Dante. If the Blade of Olympus could kill a Goddess with one thrust, it could do the same to a half-demon(the only reason Zeus took so many stabs was because of being the most powerful of the Gods, and possibly because he had forged the weapon). Again, a fully-powered Kratos has every advantage over a fully powered Dante sans speed, there's nothing preventing the BoO from one-shotting Dante based on its own feats. Also, both times I recall Dante using jackpot, it was with the assistance of another demon's power.
Kinda odd of you to say he couldn't beat Zeus. But Kratos can defeat Dante--He doesn't know the things os Dante--Vice Versa. It doesn't matter Zeus wasn't that big of a problem. Mundus--King of Demons-That's like a God in DMC. Zeus isn't that big. He has a MORTAL'S BODY. He had to trick Zeus to defeat if, if he didn't trick him he wouldn't have beat him. He had help defeating Ares. Pandora--Power of GODS. He couldn't defeat him w/o Pandora's Box. He tossed it because he had God powers. The Colossus Statue was slow. Throwing the statue has nonething to do with that. Hydra just was a Serpent with 3 heads. Dante killed Levithan--Look at the last book of Job in the Bible. You have no proof the The Blade could kill Dante in 1 hit. No Jackpot was Par with Trish's Power. Besides The Blade isn't even a Devil Arm it wouldn't hurt him--impaling him anyway. Ripping out Dante heart is the only way to kill Dante. Kratos is still a Mortal and can die like one. Besides impaling Kratos with Yamato/Alastor/Force Edge/Sparda's Sword would kill him. if he had that much of GODLY BLOOD. He wouldn't have nearly got defeated by the barbarian--kinda ironic don't you think? Zeus is technially the "God" Of Lighting I think. Zeus has defeated people who hasn't had Mortal Bodies like Zeus. Dante has power of Sparda--more powerful than Zeus(maybe). Besides Dante is too fast to even get HIT by The Blade. He would teleport all over Kratos. Just because the word "GOD" isn't in DMC. Doesn't mean they arn't GODS. High Demons in DMC can be called "Demons" but still be Gods. Also Gods in GOW can easily die by getting impaled once. Dante is HALF HUMAN got impaled 4 times and lived. And just because The Blade kills Gods in The GOW Universe. Doesn't mean it will do the same to Dante(or DMC Universe). And Dante has got shocked by lighting and it didn't harm him once. Wind of a Titan is weak. And Atlas Quake--Dante can jump up for that. Besides WIND isn't a thing to Dante. After all he did defeat Atlas--The "Mighty" Titan. And how can Kratos stop Beowulf?
