Painkiller: 1. n. One who kills with pain. 2. Possibly the most insane FPS game known to man.
Here?s the gist of Painkiller: You?re in Hell. You have a bunch of weapons with varying degrees of violent tendencies, and there is a ton of really freaky monsters pouring out of the woodwork to kill you. Go.The preview version shows some of the most effective mood lighting in FPS games today, while serving up seemingly endless waves of creatively disturbing baddies. If you?ve had enough of shooting Nazis, why not try a horde of diseased-meat-tossing corpses or an army of hags that disintegrate into flocks of ravens when you kill them? Of course, once you collect the souls of 100 enemies, you get to become a demon yourself. Fun!
Painkiller is a simple game that pushes forward on the merits of sheer brutality and undulating hordes of enemies, and it does so with unapologetic enthusiasm. You can leave capturing hills and storming beaches to the nancies.
