With speed and smarts to match its outrageous visuals, Painkiller boasts fiendishly clever monsters that attack in groups and learn from your defenses. No corpses shambling around like they have a load in their pants, these are monsters of the 28 Days Later variety: quick and scary.
-
Perhaps what's most amazing is that it plays like the work of a seasoned developer with a rare grasp on atmosphere and tone, a rock-solid set of technologies, and sophisticated ideas about game design.
-
A visceral, intense shooter with well designed and realized levels, and certainly a “must have” title for FPS aficionados.
-
This title is pure unadulterated action, a great adrenaline run. Its staying power will rest on how fleshed out the multiplayer can be and whether there are any new maps, levels, modifications or expansion packs in store.
-
This game is so scary that even the end-of-level warps give you the creeps...Extremely playable and well-designed.
-
Graphics are smooth and clean and detail in the game is never compromised with interactive surroundings, excellent weapon effects and great animation of the action taking place.
-
Hugely repetitive action game. Hugely repetitive action game. Hugely repetitive (you get the idea).
