    Try as they might, none can’t clear the bar that was set by Painkiller. Left to its own devices, without People Can Fly’s support, Mindware Studios created but a pale imitation. Some people can’t fly, indeed.

    The game's spectacular premise is ultimately unfulfilled. What might have been a truly eye-opening, perspective-shattering trip through the battlefields of a tortured psyche is merely a rehash of everything we've been through in the Painkiller series.

    If the creation of a boring and ugly looking corridor shooter was intended, we can just applause this to be a plan the is 120% achieved. [Dec 2009]

Rather then the classic Judeo/Christian heaven hell story, or aliens, we are give a glimse into the world of dreams. It could have been better. But if you just want to kill time, this is a great time waster. I should have delved deeper into the whole nightmare part of the game and turned this into a well written and portrayed horror game. As it sits however I had more fun with Serious Sam.… Full Review »

Every weapon in this game is awesome and fun to shoot (exactly what an FPS should be like (My personal favorite is the Sunbeam which shoots sunshine and happiness.)) Some of the levels are fun and quite imaginative. The game has a brilliant premise too, but doesn't always take advantage of this, there are moments where you're bored of killing all the monsters and just want to move on with the story. I enjoyed the game, but looking back, near unlimited potential is wasted on repetitive gameplay.… Full Review »
