    The fourth part of the Painkiller series plays just like the other ones. Using weapons like the painkiller you're fighting lots of weird opponents like axe-wielding monks or pirate zombies. As usual they act dumb, there is no AI to speak of. It's a game to play casually for 30 minutes now and then and doesn't aspire to be anything else.

    Makes a one-man war against the armies of hell quite depressingly dull. [Christmas 2009, p.116]

    Although it is simple, direct and fun, it still doesn't live up for the absolute lack of polish of other aspects.

    The third standalone add-on can be described by a single word – amateurism. Originally it was planned as a mod and it should of stayed as a mod permanently. [Dec 2009]

    Painkiller: Resurrection is a buggy trip into hell.

    You need an extra dose of Painkillers, to play Resurrection without headache.

    Painkiller: Resurrection is a bugfest. It is technically outdated and the co-op mode is hidden between the menus. There is no way to make this multiplayer mode work well.

    Glitchy scripts, three-minute loading times, broken saves, crashes to desktop and the abundance of blur make this game a nerve-wracking challenge.

    It's a repulsive cocktail of inconvenience, design missteps and frustration that fails to entertain on any level. Quite simply, if you buy this game, you are wasting your money.

    Painful in so many ways. [Jan 2010, p.74]

    Кусок помойного дерьма, эта игра не должна была увидеть свет. Даже ужасные Redemption и Reccuring Evil не сравнятся по говёности cКусок помойного дерьма, эта игра не должна была увидеть свет.

The amount of times this game crashed is bigger than the amount of times your parents f*****... which is A LOT (at least once). I finished the game but it wasn't that good. Lots of bugs and glitches. Music was great and that's the only reason this game gets such a high mark for me. Everything else was abysmal. Please don't buy this. Painkiller should have ended on Battle Out Of Hell, eventually Overdose which was still playable on lower difficulty. Resurrection is a nail to the coffin. Pickens condemns!… Full Review »
