Very fun, very dumb. If you like the original, you'll like this..kind of August 30, 2008
Simply, this is another chapter of Painkiller. Those of us that loved the original, and loved BOH, will also like this one.
Basically, Painkiller has no real story (it has a silly one), and you run around as fast as you can shooting things. I probably played the original over 100 times through over the years, and the BOH follow on, about 50. This one is much the same, although it takes some time to reorient yourself into Painkiller thought
The dynamics are almost the same as all PK games, and you'll have to take a bit of time to get yourself into it. Once you're acclimated, its a barrel of laughs. If you take it too seriously, you're missing the point of the PK franchise. Lots of dumb enemies, lots of twisted weapons, lots of silly ammo. And then its over..
Don't overthink this one. Its a goofy way to spend some spare time. Its not serious art (bioshock) or great strategy and story (stalker, half life series), its just a shooter
Good, but not AS Good. June 18, 2008

I personally found Painkiller Overdose to be MUCH more challenging than the first ones, but also considerably less enjoyable. Belial (Your Character) Isn't developed very well, and becomes cheesy/annoying VERY quickly. The weapons are also changed from the original, and more nice/flashy, but ultimately unnecessary ones are added.
I personally would have been far happier running around as Daniel Garner again, with my smaller but more streamlined arsenal from the first two.
However, No such luck... The game is still challenging though, and if you can ignore Belial's ridiculous babbling, it can still be quite fun. At least until the end Boss, who is just ridiculous in his final stage.
 Awesome Game, Long Live the Bunnyhop March 17, 2008
Excellent gameplay, graphics and sound. Very reminiscent of other fast paced quake 3 like games such as return to castle wolfenstein.

Take the best parts of Painkiller, throw in Serious Sam gameplay and humor, mix in a half-demon, half-angel, and you get Painkiller Overdose. While it is really just a painkiller add-on, it freshens up the tried and true formula with some unique weapons, new character, and very cool enemies. I have not finished the game yet, but so far I am loving it. I have played through 4 levels. The first level gives such a sense of fire and brimstone, it is palpable. The enemies feel more like the hordes of Hell than any game I've played. I like the familiarity of Painkiller, but I am glad they have de-emphasized the hop-skip-jump routines to find hidden holy items. The homage to Serious Sam is great as I was a huge fan of that series. I give it a high fun factor. If you are looking for a deep plot with puzzle solving, this is not the game for you.
