If you were to wake up to the perfect breakfast and then find out your boss was giving you the day off at full pay... You would have the time to play this game and it would be a very good day.

Painkiller is a game where you kill enemies with a stake gun. That's right. It's a gun that shoots wooden stakes. Impale demonic World War I soldiers against a wall! Or you can freeze them with the alt-fire of your shotgun, then blow them to bits with the primary fire.

Painkiller is pretty rad, although I never did beat the game.

To quote "Painkiller is ♥♥♥♥ing Awesome" Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, painkiller is ♥♥♥♥ing awesome. A wonderful retreat back into "Shoot Everything That Moves" land, Painkiller has a great sense of style, difficulty progression and zany weaponry. Each level has a cool concept, populated by equally atmospheric adversaries that are fun to eviscerate, explode, or pin to walls with your giant stake gun. The final levle is an incredibly fun take on everyones favorite nine-tiered dungeon, and has to be played to be truly appreciated.

The expansion "Battle Out Of Hell" continues with new weapons and more levels. Although many are equally as impressive as thier counterpars in the original game, the difficulty curve cuts far steeper, as Russian Suicide Bombers and Nazis...(Surprising they didn't make the cut for the original game really) will really test your skills in the Leningrad level.

In all though, when you're tired of dealing with bland quests, uninspired plots or character, or even every sentient thing around you, it never hurts to fire up a game that rewards for simply murdering everything in-front of you.

One of the greatest shooters of the early 2000's.
Fatal1ty made a lot of money off this game and it was fun to watch.
MP is NOT DEAD in the EU from what Ive been told, but the N.A. scene is thin at best. The single player is a lot of fun, so there is always that to fall back to IF you can not find a game in the STATES.
Buy it when its on sale. You wont regret it.

Pre-Release Review
Painkiller is a wonderful throwback to older first-person shooters where the purpose was to run into the midst of enemies and kill them while dodging their fire, instead of hiding behind cover and popping out to take pot shots occasionally. Additionally, it has quite possibly the widest variety and sheer scope of weapons available in first person shooters, including a weapon which fires large sharpened wooden staves, and one which shoots shirukens and lightning, just to give you a taste.

While the sequels do not quite stand up to the original, this original game is simply great and will completely whet the appetite of someone who's looking for a more pure run and gun experience than modern shooters provide.
