A FPS with a Heaven and Hell theme. Many great levels and bosses to kill. Fun weapons and unique powers. Addicting.
At first I was concerned while running around a cemetery and killing large groups of zombies that this FPS was going to be boring. It didn't provide much of a wow factor after I completed the first level within ten minu... Read Full Review

If every level in Battle Out Of Hell had been as great in every aspect as any of the original Painkiller levels, this game would definitely surpass original Painkiller. The problem is, that from it's 10 offered levels, ... Read Full Review

Painkiller is a plain and simple masterpiece, and the last of a seemingly dying breed of just plain fun FPS.
It's 2004 and Painkiller is out bringing back the good'ol first person shooter system that came from Doom, Duke Nukem and Quake. The whole idea is minimum storyline: you're in Hell when you should be in Heaven because an... Read Full Review
