Summary

[Playstation Network] PAINalympics is my favorite new mode. I had a fight with our Vice President over our Relay event. He wanted me to change some things (not all of them I agreed with) and the conversation ended with me having to make other alterations to the mode to make it more fun. While sometimes Mr. Rohde is not my favorite BOSS he often has some valid points. PAINalympics is a much better mode because he decided to needle us until we got it right. Bull ride is a million times better since Rohde gave it his Caesar-esque thumbs down on the first iteration. The reason we decided to do a new add-on like Sore Spots is because you guys were up in arms about the lack of variety in the environments. Sometimes people don’t realize how much work goes into making one environment that does every mode. So instead we thought lets do two smaller ones and satisfy everyone’s need for variety. I think the new environments turned out rather well. There’s so much to do in these areas it’s just too fun! That area between 68 and 70 is my favorite. [Travis Williams]

Gameplanet

The original PAIN was a moderately successful PSN release that simply lacked depth. Developers Idol Minds have now rectified that with the Sore Spots addition, but it appears to be a case of too little, too late.
