    A stellar little expansion with even more crazier levels, crazier enemies, and some crazier weapons. A frantic shooter fan cannot be without this expansion pack. If you can't find it, get Painkiller Black Edition for Steam or a retail copy. It's worth every penny to expand the already spiritual and epic Painkiller experience!

  1. So enough with the puzzle bosses! And fix the loading times! And get rid of the idiotic jumping puzzles! Make more levels like the orphanage! Please.
  2. It's not powerful enough to convince Painkiller detractors to join the fold, but it's certainly everything a fan the original game will love.
  3. It is short, yes, but it is priced low to match. It is even more stylish than the original campaign and engages your attention much better than the original game. Compared to other games in the genre, this is a real treat.
