This game is brilliant
I played this game not long after it came out, and remembered well the adrenaline rush of hordes of oncoming enemies, different in every level of the game, along with the sometimes awe-inspiring, always interesting maps. The weapons are also fairly unique, not least the Painkiller itself, which with enough skill you can actually take out a lot of enemies without using any ammo. You’re given three difficulty levels to choose to start. An experienced PC FPS player should find the ‘Nightmare’ difficulty eminently doable whilst still presenting a good challenge. The game involves the use of tarot cards, some of which are operative throughout a level some of which you can only use for a short time. Collecting these cards is reliant upon completing levels according to various rules (eg killing every enemy) and to be honest i didn’t; really bother with it. Although you have to collect every tarot card to play the fourth and hardest 'Trauma' difficulty level The game does have some annoying bossfights but there are some very good walkthroughs available which allow you to get through these without working out what you need to go as you go. My only negative memory of the game first time round was painfully slow load-up times every time you started a level or opened a previous save – but on a modern PC these are on longer a problem. The game has plentiful checkpoints but just as importantly has a great quicksave function which allows you to save as many times as you like. My only criticism is that it’s a little unstable, crashing at various times and requiring a complete restart of my PC (even ctrl-alt-del couldn’t help). Also the cutscenes in the original Painkiller game kept crashing for some reason. Admittedly knowing the ‘plot’ as I did, I wasn’t bothered about that but it's still disappointing. The scenes were fine in Battle out of Hell though.
