Painkiller: A class act. Thread

Mr.MagneticheadFirst of all the game is great. It's serious sam on crack rubgy tackling quake and planting a kiss on its mouth.

The enemies are great fun to slaughter, the weapons are fun, the graphics are brill and the physics are fantastic. With all the stuff you can unlock in the SP this should keep you happy for ages.

The MP is great, the new innovative game modes kick ass.

Not only does this game have great SP and MP sections but what you get for your money is super.

A lovley dvd sized Hard case with an unfolding flaps that on one side make a great picture and on the other the disk holders. It also came with a free original soundtrack cd which any metal fan should love.

Anyway total class act.
8/10 :up::up:

Voosh
People Can Fly
The Light Bearer

meh, its ok :/ I dont play it though, I have it.. somewhere

Screens? I played the demo and leak and loved it. Wouldnt buy it thought

It looks like the pack a lot of stuff in there.

The multiplayer modes are nothing really "innovative" they've been done before, in my opinion, and are nothing special. Except for People Can Fly... it's pretty unique but it's pretty boring after a while. I dunno, I didn't like the game much...
Here's some info on the game modes in case you're interested:

3) People Can Fly - A modification of Deathmatch 1 on 1, pushing the limits of physics-based multiplay. Only equipped with the Rocket Launcher/Chaingun, you can only score damage against your opponent while he's in the air -- use your Rocket Launcher to send him airborne, and finish him off with your Chaingun!

4) Voosh - Voosh is a multiplayer mode in which each player has the same weapon. After a certain period of time each player's weapon is switched to either the next in line (set by the server), or a random one. All weapons have infinite ammo. Voosh is played out over 2 additional maps, only available for this mode.

5) The Light Bearer - In Light Bearer, Quad Damage never wears off. The first player who grabs it can use it as long as he stays alive. Which won't be for very long, since you'll be hunted by everyone else on the map. When he is dead, he drops the Quad, and another player can pick it up. The winner is a person who has the Quad at the end of the game.

Oh that's easy to hack up into Quake1

single player is fun, for the first chapter or two then it just gets repetitive. as for the multiplayer, really nothing there to be considered fun...

the single player is the thing that makes this game

I agree with your opinion. Same thing here.

This belongs in gaming discussion not general banter.

IMO the sp gets more interesting as the game goes on.

I love the mp too, but no, painkiller is not anything revolutionary, but it is a damned fun game, and that's all that matters.

My one didn't come with a soundtrack, but all the music is in Painkiller/Data/Music anyway
