Serious Sam meets Satan

Take the best parts of Painkiller, throw in Serious Sam gameplay and humor, mix in a half-demon, half-angel, and you get Painkiller Overdose. While it is really just a painkiller add-on, it freshens up the tried and true formula with some unique weapons, new character, and very cool enemies. I have not finished the game yet, but so far I am loving it. I have played through 4 levels. The first level gives such a sense of fire and brimstone, it is palpable. The enemies feel more like the hordes of Hell than any game I've played. I like the familiarity of Painkiller, but I am glad they have de-emphasized the hop-skip-jump routines to find hidden holy items. The homage to Serious Sam is great as I was a huge fan of that series. I give it a high fun factor. If you are looking for a deep plot with puzzle solving, this is not the game for you.

or come to any conclusion and no mention
about eve.
and no hard game play like the first painkiller.

but id like to see painkiller continue on just

DOWN TO THE LOWER LEVELS OF HELL...

PAINKILLER was not exactly breaking new ground with its release in 2004, yet it was a fast FPS with a demonic theme and innovative weaponry that offered tons of fun! It's first expansion (BATTLE OUT OF HELL) did not veer far off.

The same can be said up to a point for PAINKILLER: OVERDOSE (although developed by a different team than the one that gave us the original and the first expansion).
It is a (standalone) expansion with most of the virtues and all the faults of the original PAINKILLER. Excellent sound (especially if equipped with 5.1 or 7.1 speakers, you will be jumping to look over your shoulder all the time...); quite good graphics (yet not at par with the latest releases); a refreshed set of weapons and a really fast pace.

On the other hand, it will get tedious pretty fast as the story is paper thin and the level design is adequate yet with little variations. How many versions of Hell-rooms can you stomach?
So, after having tried all your weapons (from the good-ol' veggie cube  more

Painkiller Overdose?

The name on the box says Painkiller Overdose.
It looks more like Serious Sam. It sounds more like Serious Sam. It plays more like Serious Sam. What the he## happened?
Clunky game play, boring sound track and stupid humor. Yes, Serious Sam has Hijacked this game and it ain't good.
The first 2 versions of Painkiller Rocked! This version should be thrown on the rocks. Save your money.....
