Simply put, Painkiller: Hell Wars offers players fast action, lots of different enemies to mow down, single player levels worth replaying, good multiplayer action, a good assortment of weapons, and overall, just pure FPS fun. If you have an Xbox and you’ve been waiting for a game that matched the unadulterated single-player fun of the original Doom with an arcade-style multiplayer feature like Unreal, then Painkiller: Hell Wars is the game you need to pick up |
| Sweet to the Core |
| |
Physics. The physics and the weapons work beautifully together
|
| | Bosses. Some of the coolest boss battles ever
| | | Stage designs. Versatile stages and multiple environments are fun and original
| | | Multiplayer. The weapons are more balanced and the action is more fast than Unreal
| | | Stake-gun. This is one of the coolest weapons in a shooter game
|
| Going Bad |
| | Painkiller weapon. This is one of the lamest weapons in a shooter game
| | | Story. Painkiller’s story was unoriginal and marginally engaging
|
| Rotten to the Core |
| | No split-screen. I’m not sure what happened but there’s no split-screen modes
| | | Cheesy music. Some of the tunes sounded corny
