Painkiller is a fast-paced first-person-shooter that hearkens back to the early years of shooters. Telling a hellish story about a man fighting his way out of Purgatory and foregoing modern conventions of realism, Painkiller brings back the over-the-top twitch gameplay that is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
Also, the biggest bosses ever? hmm, maybe beaten by Shadow of the Colossus, but just maybe. Or maybe im forgetting something extreme obivious wich ive been known to do. But anyway, some of the bosses are huuuuuuge.
I enjoyed it and the expansion for the game. Its a really facepaced first person shooter with a lot of intense action and cool physics...for the time at least...
For the short amount of time I've played the game I loved it. It's like a horror/splatter version of Serious Sam with cooler weapons and better physics!
It sucks that there is no Co-op for it though. :( That's where a game of this caliber would really shine, just like the Serious Sam co-op did. How hard can it be to implement such a standard feature?
The game is good enough to be on the FPS tournament lists, but still because of its lack of fame, most people don't give a shit unless they are in those tournaments.
