This add-on to the original Pain PS3 downloadable game is better and bigger than the original release!
User Rating: 8.5 | PAIN: Amusement Park PS3
So, Pain for the PS3 was a moderately good game. It had its great moments, but you could always find flaws. Firstly, the original Pain had one level, not much for a in depth experience. Soon after, the developers at Idol Minds added in 2 "skins" for the Downtown level, "Block Party" and "Demolition". These levels opened up to more possibilities in the downtown area, but not as much as what the fans wanted. Idol Minds has now responded to that "one game one level" problem with a new area, the Amusement Park (though its advertised as the Abusement Park). The area is generally very good, with many more moving parts and more ways of PAINfully hurting your character. Talking about characters, PAIN Amusement Park add-on gives you 3 more characters, Tati, Yeoni and Kenneth, which are all incredibly amusing and fun to use, though you have to pay money for them (do'h). Its good that I live in England and I only have to pay £0.69 for 1 character.
PAIN's gameplay hasn't much changed, fire you're character out of a human sized catapult, or it the Abusement Park's case, a smaller launcher that still packs punch...
New to the add-on is the PAINLabs area, where the Idol Minds team will create a random level every week for you to try out. These levels are incredibly simple and quite rubbish actually. I was hoping for some level creator or something interesting like that. Let's just hope that the Idol Minds team will come up with some interesting PAINLabs levels.
So Overall, this add-on to the original PAIN downloadable exclusive PS3 game is quite excellent, because of its great content included (new level!).
