Painkiller Triple Dose - It's worth it! September 20, 2008

This is a good shooter game. Graphics are pretty good. Story line is decent. I like the straight forward flow of the game. No need to go back and forth between rooms or levels. It's always a forward flow. If you like shooting bad guys, blowing things up, breaking things and generally reeking havoc, you will like this game. Plus there is the benefit of getting three games in one package. You get the original game, an expansion pack and a standalone expansion all for 20 bucks. The game ran fine on Vista for me but I do have an upgraded PC. The game gets a buy it recommendation from me. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Good game, minus details September 2, 2008
The game was great, is a pure fps. That means you shoot, dodge, run, curse and grim oftem. Its more simple than Fear or Farcry, but not without strategy, thanks to the enemy reactions.
The issues come from little details, my game don't run well the movies, so I need to search for support. Also appears that the multiplayer modes has bigger problems, but I don't use that. So I recomend this game but you can look for other opinions and be prepared for a slight chance of problems
Old School "Run & Gun" August 18, 2008

The first two chapters of the Painkiller Universe pack are the story of a man and his wife who get into a car accident and die. The wife goes to heaven, the man to limbo. There he is contacted by an angel and told there is a way for him to earn his way into heaven to be with his wife: Be God's hitman.
Apparently there is a coup in the works in Hell and assassinations are required to maintain the balance of order. The man agrees to this task for the sake of love. The angel says "awesome", hands him a weapon that's a blade on a stick and says, "Get to work".
Or at least that's pretty much what happens. Hell is made up of several areas which present themselves as alternate versions of earthly locations. There are monastaries, forests, middle eastern temples and even a military base. All these carry different aspects of their dark sides and are appropriately twisted by the demon who resides in them. The base is rusted and industrial with lots of spikes and dread. The forest is really dark and spooky with plenty of things rusltling throughout.
The gameplay itself is standard running around and killing lots and lots of things. It's not bad by any means, it's just really high action. For anyone looking for a grittier version of "Serious Sam" or something that harkens back to the days when a body count was the point, this will be a welcome return. There is a story set up and the scenery and motivation are all properly there, but it's about ending existences.
The weapons are very cool and multi function. You get the blade on the stick (Named the Painkiller) that fires and recalls the blade as a secondary attack. A steak driver with a grenade launcher secondary. If you fire both together you can launch a grenade on a stake. There's a gun that shoots shurikens..../and/ Lightning!...and if you fire together?... A lightning charged shuriken. There are several more like chaingun and such and there is a system of placable backup abilities called "The Black Tarot" that gives you the chance to add things like points multipliers, status effects and extra damage. As a perk of the job the hitman even receives the ability to transform into a demonic/hybrid form and just tear through things, but it's based on a number of kills and can go off at the wrong times.
The "Battle out of Hell" expansion continues the main story and the "Overdose" pack follows a demon on much the same quest with his own array of funky weapons.
I had a 4 star time with this. It isn't high art or an attempt to tell the great American novel in game form, but there is plenty of enjoyment to be had here. The set up was intriguing and you get plenty of heavy firepower and lots and lots of enemies to use it on. I gave it the extra star because it is all three chapters for a very low price.
 Never received game. August 9, 2008

This game was sent to my old address and returned to Amazon without my ever seeing it. I wrote to you and you said you could not send the order to me and would credit my credit card for it. I would like the order but I feel your company did not try to find a way to get the order to me but took the easy way out of crediting my payment. I may order this in the future but as of now I will not.
