Painkiller: Hell Wars

"Painkiller looks fantastic: gorgeous, rich, diverse and atmospheric, and is actually pulled-off with sufficient aplomb to suggest an element of personality one wouldn't expect from such a title."

"A hodgepodge of memorable levels and satisfyingly straightforward and bloody pure shooting action highlights this first-person shooter, which combines the PC version of Painkiller with its expansion pack."

"Being in development this long, we weren’t sure how polished this game would come off in the end. There are some problems, the glitches, enemy AI, and gameplay variations being among the top, but in the end the game is still an over the top frag fest, which the Xbox has been in need of for quite some time."

"And, considering this is a game that’s all about throwing dozens of enemies at you all at once, it’s shameful that the developers couldn’t keep the framerate going at a constant rate."

"For players seeking a first person shooter with absolutely no strategy, Painkiller is a good choice. It offers up hordes of enemies to be disemboweled and decapitated, and a number of supercharged weapons to do it with. While the game has plenty of action, it gets old fast."
