5.0 out of 5 stars
Good old Run & Gun Fun., May 14, 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
I'm normally not a big fan of FPS games but i have to admit, this one was fun enough to warrant completion. Absolutely chaotic, hordes of monsters to battle, very cool (end Bosses), an awesome arsenal of weapons(Roll the mouse wheel for quick & easy weapons switch-NO CUMBERSOME HOT-KEY SWITCH) and an item (Power *Tarot Cards) reward if you are clever enough to find them. I own a few FPS games and most of them i just gun through a few levels and get bored and move on to a more serious game such as a Fantasy 'R.T.S' or a 'D&D' type RPG.. but this one kept my intrest, must be the nostalga of playing the "OLD" DOOM games. I recommend this (BOX-SET) for those of you who sometimes just want to let off a little steam now and then-you know ('Bad day at work'/ 'Stressfull home enviornment') that sort of thing. Don't look for a compelling storyline- because there is'nt one,then again how many of these types of games actually have one?? The only game of this genre(my opinion only- so please all of you 'FPS FANS', don't leave nasty comments about the above statement-GO READ A BOOK) that I enjoyed for it's story and gameplay was "HALO",but oh course halo was a real exception to the rule. Oh, there is a comment from one of the reviewers about the game being shipped without the 'CD KEY'. My copy (new) has the key right inside the box in very LARGE BLACK print on a piece of paper, i guess if you buy it used you risk the chance of a (seller) forgetting to include it. Buy it new, it's only about $10-$15 dollars and you get the *expansion pak* as well. Stay away from the "BLACK VERSION" though as many have complained of strict copyright protection that forces you to go online to activate the game. This copy doesn't- just install and play. Happy Demon-Hunting!!!-holyknight7

Pure mindless fun, December 20, 2005
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
For those who demand deep, engaging storylines from their FPS games, Painkiller is not for you. For those who cannot stomach massive amounts of gore, Painkiller is not for you (the game is rated M for a reason). This game is INTENSE. It's impossible to keep your heart rate down when you are surrounded by enemies, running in circles and strafing just to stay alive. The enemies and environments are highly detailed, and the sound is incredible. Yes, the story is paper-thin, but that stops mattering when the bad guys show up. If you just want to play a straightforward run-and-gun FPS, this game will not disappoint you.
On a side note, I also received my CD-key with the game. I don't know what happened with the other guy's copy.

Great Game!!, May 18, 2005
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
I don't know what the other person was talking about. But what I do know is that the product key came with mine. It is just in a slip of paper, and you can easily loose it. It can drop out the box and slip away. So that is what probably happened.
I got my Gold Edition and I am enjoying it! The graphics and music are fantastic and the fights are brutal! Secrets are hard to figure though but it you are like me you have the patience to run around and look around.
The environment portraid in this game is amazing, this is my favorite part of the game, and it is also kind of creepy-but not DOOM 3 creepy- there is plenty of lights a and open space.
I recommend this version because it is less then buying the two version seperate, plus the expansion pack is even better though the opening videos of the main character was changed (don't know why they did that), but the fight scenes and environments are even more intense.
Enjoy!!
