Still the most satisfying!

I'm not going to describe the game in great detail. There are other reviews doing that better than I could ever. I'm only going to say, that this game still holds up. You see, I was just playing with the latest installment of Modern Warfare, and got really frustrated at a certain level, where I died way too many times. I said myself: enough is enough, and wanted to play something to relieve the stress. I reinstalled Painkiller Black Edition to do a few levels, I remembered how much I liked it. I breezed through almost the entire game in one sit. It was just as good as I recalled. Since that I tried the other installments: Overdose, resurrection, Insurrection Oversurrection, etc. They all suck. Terrible, terrible games. I also Completed Painkiller HD. And you know what? It wasn't very good either. I don't know what it is exatcly about this game which makes it stand out this much. The concept is seemingly simple, yet noone but the original developer would be able grasp it. I hear comments like, "Great, this is such a simple game!". Well, it might be simple to play, but underneath the surface, this is a masterfully executed, and carefully calculated work of art. This game stands the test of time. I bet it'll hold up for a long time.

Grimdark Serious Sam, but worse.

Enter room, doors close, kill anything that isn't you, continue (just be careful to step on the trigger, or you can get stuck). The only way you could get the idea to compare this game to the Id-Engine ones is if you haven't played either... The levels are pretty fun, except for the problems with the triggers, and enemies on high ledges or towers that have the tendency to stop attacking resulting in a game of hide and seek to progress. But the bosses...are random, cheapshotty garbage with awful hitboxes. Their difficulty being all over the place isn't helping, either. Worst example is the 4th boss, which has unavoidable falling damage on every transition, climaxing in the last one that will kill you at 100 HP and 60+ armour (when playing on nightmare at least), unless you happen to stand in the correct spot to land on a pillar. Which you can't see until you fall, and then it's too late.

What Doom 3 should have been.

This game brings to light all the things that made older games fun. Lots and lots of shooting and a variety of enemies and weapons that made every single level more and more entertaining. I'd recommend this game to any fans of oldschool FPS's (think Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, etc.). The also includes the expansion pack, which makes it an even better deal. A great way to spend 10 bucks to keep you entertained for weeks!

Just plain fun

Only three levels in and I know this game is exactly what I'm looking for.. They just don't make stuff like this anymore. I really wish games like this would come back, games that don't f**k around and just stick to core game design principles.. But more importantly than that, sticking to FUN gameplay. Everything has to have a twist now, which can be cool, but it's often times overthought and the game gets old quick. Like Mario jumping on Goombas, giving me a gun and monsters to kill in a cool and well designed environment, will NEVER get old.

Fast paced and intensive

Dead guy needs to kill demons to reunite with his love in heaven. The story is just an excuse to kill hordes of enemies, and shooting and killing are the 2 things the game does really well. Graphics still looks fine today and Havok physics engine used in the game was realy impressive at the time (I think it was one of the first games showcasing good physics). Your opponents - various demons or souls of the damned and locations have an interesting design and weapons are really original (like stake gun, shotgun with additional freezing ammo or shuriken launcher). Throw in tarot cards system and it gets really interesting. The Black edition includes also add-on with additional levels, weapons and enemies, continuing story from the base game. Now some flaws: some levels are available only on particular difficulty, so you won't see some of them playing on anything easier than nightmare or trauma difficulty. The second thing is that the game likes to crash during swamp boss fights and I experienced some save corrupting bug on train station level. But this could be potentially fixed with Unofficial Patch v1.66 or Randomguy7's Fix Compilation patch.
