Summary

Game Description

Painkiller is a first-person horror shooter, designed to satisfy a gamer's hunger for intense, fast-paced action. It's an adrenaline addict's nightmare, where hellish monsters swarm in seemingly endless mobs. Graphically, Painkiller is unmatched. Played out over more than 20 completely unique and different levels, the proprietary 3D engine puts out 100X the polygons of the latest shooters, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques. Stranded in a place between Heaven and Hell, your time of judgment is at hand. The Underworld is on the verge of unholy war, and you are but a pawn in the infernal battle. As you fight for your purification, the truths behind the deceptions are revealed.

Painkiller - PC

Pain really is pleasure!

This is one of those rare games where a I really don't care about the story. Most of the time I wont even touch a game unless the story is very interesting to me. But after playing the single-player demo I felt that that factor was not going to matterthis round. And the finished product just blew me away. Heavy heavy action rest in this demon. Even more so that you will not care about not being intrigued by a story.On top of the action is the physics engine which I think is not nearly as good Red Faction, but amazing nonetheless. Pooch computers beware, this one is extremely taxing on a machine.To get the most out of Painkiller to really need a high-end computer.And the multiplayer has not been tis much fun since Quake and Unreal Tournement.Plenty to do there. Not much to complian about with this title so I'll just stop there. Again if you think your PC can handle this game be my guest and check out this game immediately.
