Painkiller: Pain relief for 'DOOM'ed gamers.

by   theuerkorn ,  Jul 19, 2004
Pros: great graphics, good sound, intense gameplay, great variety, performance on medium hardware requirements
Cons: what it claims to be, a shooter (not exactly educational), some jumping puzzles too difficult
The Bottom Line: One of the best shooters around: with the typical questionable morale, but otherwise excellent gameplay.
Review: First person shooters must be the most popular games ever since Wolfenstein 3D (followed by Doom) 'revolutionized' 3D computer gaming in 1992 and 1993. Recently we had our fair share of military related versions, a short-term departure from the ...

Painkiller: Plot; What Is It Good For?

by   DVON ,  Oct 27, 2005
Pros: Fast and furious gameplay, good graphics, great fun.
Cons: If it's diversity you're looking for, steer clear of this one.
The Bottom Line: This is recommended only for the "twitch" gamer. If that's not you, this won't change that.
Review: Painkiller is a call-to-arms for every PC gamer who yearns to have those glory days of no-nonsense shooters back again. Yearning for those days when the plot took a backseat to the rampage. Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious ...

For a headache theres Asprin, for everything else Theres Painkiller!

by   soadfan1 ,  Apr 15, 2004
Pros: Great graphics, fast paced gameplay, Huge bosses
Cons: A bit generic and uninspired at times. Constantly respawning enemies are a drag.
The Bottom Line: Painkiller is a solid addition to the FPS genre bringing the gameplay of Quake back to the pc. Buy this is you an want a wild trip down memory lane!
Review: INTRO : Lets go back in time 9 or 10 years, to when doom and Quake ruled the world. You dismember the first time? So do we all, but since then FPS games like thatm, with the straight blood guts and shoot everything that moves have become a thing ...

Painkiller puts the giant S in FPS

by   donut_man23 ,  Mar 28, 2006
Pros: Outstanding graphics and decent sound, brings back the FPS roots, intense action, simplistic controls
Cons: Can get dull and repetative for some, weak multiplayer
The Bottom Line: Painkiller isn't neccesarily as complex as some shooters (i.e. Half Life 2 and Far Cry) but it offers an intense story mode and great shooting action.
Review: I guess I'm a little late on this review. I first got this around when it came out in 2004 but only played it a little till now. When you start Painkiller up its completely gorgeous. Not only that but it doesn't require an insane PC to run, mainly ...

A fun though slightly flawed action fest.

by   garethvk ,  Apr 18, 2004
Pros: Great Graphics
Cons: Bad enemy A.I. lack of weapon variety.
The Bottom Line: Sure it has a few flaws, but Painkiller is solid fun.
Review: The battle between Heaven and Hell erupts on the PC with the new action shooter Painkiller. Players take on the role of Daniel Garner, a man who dies and finds himself in limbo forced to fight the forces of evil to earn his redemption. Unsure of why ...

Painkiller: A simple bloody rampage with none of that 'plot' jive.

by   Broma_bull2269 ,  May 10, 2004
Pros: Great graphics, adrenaline pumping gameplay, great physics
Cons: Short gameplay, fun wears off after awhile, lackluster multiplayer.
The Bottom Line: For a short period of fun offline, look to "Painkiller". If not, apply somewhere else.
Review: In the beginning, there were classic games like "Quake" and "Doom", in which you ran around a large level and killed anything that moves. Then you'd find the exit, look at your score, then proceed to do the same the next level. Since then, games have ...

Not a bad game, not a great game

by   fnordiscordia ,  Apr 14, 2005
Pros: -Powerful weapons -Almost comical over the top ragdoll physics
Cons: -Repetitive gameplay -Doesn't strive for anything special
Review: I was pretty sure what to expect from this game: nothing special but nothing terrible. That's pretty much what I got, I guess I could say I was somewhat pleasantly suprised. This game is a straightforward shooter that doesn't really strive for greatness. ...
