Painkiller

THE BAD:
Help me!

SUMMARY:
To make "The Good" and "The Bad" clearer, the game is one hell of a fun shoot em up kind of game. The one big problem is it's quite of a frustration but only for a short period of time. There are sometimes you get stuck because pile of bodies are blocking your way but aside from that this game is quite good. I'm the type of gamer who like my FPS tactical but this game changed my point of view in FPS games. The physics are great, the action is intense, the music rocks and the theme totally rocks. Most of all, the graphics are out of this world. I never liked serious sam but this game rocks.

Another thing that makes this game quite different are the cool use of weapons. Take for example the default weapon, the spear-disc type of weapon. The Primary attack mode is a disc-blade type of weapon, while the secondary attack shoots a spear with a laser behind it. You can use the spear as a laser let the enemies walk/run past it and get damage or use it like Scorpion of Mortal Kombat does by pulling the enemies towards yourself and slashing it by using the disc-blade! That's just the default weapon.

Another good thing is the use of environments... you can use environments to affect the damage you can cause to your enemy. Take for example a dynamite box inside a minery. When an enemy gets close to it, shoot it and BAM! Zombie turned giblets of meat! And speaking of enemies, this game has a wide variety of enemies. From undead wizards to 50 feet skeleton warriors. Well, of course the 50 foot skeleton is a boss.

Anyway, if you're a die hard tactical shooter, stay away from this game. But if you miss the old school Doom type of game, get painkiller. It'll take away you're pain and you'll be the painbringer.
