    If you own the original, not buying the extra levels would make you a sinner. Now, stop treating your body like a carnival ride.

    A must buy to those that enjoyed the original. Hardcore fans should already own it, and everyone else will miss out on another great game yet again.

    For fans of the first game, I have only this to say: semi-automatic sniper-rifle stake gun. With more of everything, this is a must own!

    All in all, Painkiller: Black Edition is a mixed bag of goodies. [Black Edition]

    A solid 10-level package rife with impressive demonic hordes. [Jan 2005, p.77]

    This roller coaster occasionally stalls and has some long stretches that could have used a corkscrew or even a slight bank. [Feb 2005, p.80]

    Disaster. Despite a beefy visual upgrade, this insultingly short add-on plays like a skanky collection of deleted scenes from the original game. [Feb 2005, p.68]

    A worthy expansion pack with amazing levels and more action! Also two new weapons that are lovely. My only complaint is the music. While inA worthy expansion pack with amazing levels and more action! Also two new weapons that are lovely. My only complaint is the music. While in battle, metal music is not present. Instead you'll hear some symphonic stuff. That was a mistake. Everything else is top notch. Pickens approves!… Expand

A frantic shooter fan cannot be without this expansion pack. If you can't find it, get Painkiller Black Edition for Steam or a retail copy. It's worth every penny to expand the already spiritual and epic Painkiller experience!… Expand
