About this product

Product Information

Painkiller is a first-person shooter set in the sinister world of gothic horror. Daniel Garner is having a bad day. On his way downtown, he dies in a car accident and is not permitted past the pearly gates. In order to get back into the Almighty's good graces, he becomes Painkiller and must mow down Satan's minions in whatever lair, tomb, or residence they may be lurking. Dressed in a black overcoat and wearing sunglasses to protect against the sun, Painkiller has earned a reputation for his no-nonsense approach to demon hunting. Yet he also hides a secret: a pact with a demon has granted him special powers at the expense of his humanity.<br><br>Painkiller must fight his way past hordes of undead creatures in 20 levels while freeing whatever is left of their souls. With every 66 souls collected, Painkiller can transform into a ghastly creature himself, using its physical strength and ferocity to engage multiple demons at once. Players will also have at their disposal an arsenal of ranged weapons including a shotgun and the "painkiller," all of which feature primary and secondary attacks. Painkiller uses the Havok physics engine (Thief: Deadly Shadows, Deus Ex: Invisible War) for its interactive 3D environments and details such as moving clothes, rippling water, and crumbling walls. The game features seven multiplayer modes such as "Deathmatch," "Voosh," "Light Bearer," "Last Man Standing," and "Free-For-All."

  • Simple, effective FPS - Great if you know what you're getting

    I'm not sure "depth" is a word that comes to mind when one thinks of the Painkiller games, but there's certainly a lot more to this hellacious shooter than first meets the eye. The story is generic, but it's really just there to get you to the one and only goal: kill a lot of stuff. Compared to the seminal OG Xbox shooters (Halo, Doom, Half-Life, etc.) Painkiller seems lacking at first, but I found myself cackling at the absurdity of the weapons, setting, and enemies more often than not. It's a straightforward shooter for straightforward players, so if you want a more thought provoking and introspective experience, look elsewhere. But if you're good to go with a game that unabashedly worships at the alter of "run and gun", you could do a lot worse than Painkiller.
