"Painkiller Demo"

After being recommended it by a mate, I downloaded the demo for the game Painkiller, Weighing in at about 214MB (i think).

The game is a bit like Serious Sam, or Will Rock, but with a twisted, satanic theme to it. It's a bit mild for what it wanted to be, but i guess they wanted to appeal the younger, less mind-numbed of all of us, and not scare the living crap out of them. I prefer the latter myself...

Anyway, from what i've seen, the game is impressive as far as technology goes, but it lacks any real fun or excitement. The physics are great - pin zombies to walls with a huge wooden stake launcher or anything similar, and the graphics are nice and spooky, and relatively fast.

Of course, I have to add that i didn't like the game enough to consider buying it.

If you've played the demo, care to add to this thread?

Righto

In My Honest Opinion

Just to clarify, care to define the acronym IMHO for me?

Just downloaded Painkiller. I'll give my opinion on it tomorrow. Looks class IMHO though.

Well, in my opinion it's miles less fun than Will Rock. Mind you, both were demo's...

Ignore the 'what's it about' bit. I obviously didn't read your original post properly!

You could be right y'know...

So what's this Painkiller about, and what's it like?

I think that sounds like Will Rock.

Is this the one that was briefly featured on GamePad? Where your character wipes splattered blood from his weapons?

The visuals weren't too bad in that game. Might download...

Anyone know the name of that ultra-detailed FPS from a developer in Germany/Belgium? Has something to do with chemical warfare I think. Gamezville showed it once. That was the highlight of their show.
