    Very fun game but I didn't think it was worth $10 so I didn't buy it. It is now $5 and I bought it!!! It is worth $5 and there is a new level coming soon. Question is how much?

    A pretty fun game and a great way to relieve some stress, but at 10 bucks, they could've added a LOT more stuff. They could've at least thrown in a couple more levels (you only get one), game modes, and characters. As it is, I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for this game. Wait for the price to go down or something.

    this game was crap its fun for five minutes but only three people to chose from. One map gets boring quickly you could sped another 6 dollars to get more maps but dont do it i thought there would be more of a flatout time of game i was wrong ohh well it was only ten dollars

    The game should have been the demo, as there is only an afternoon's worth of entertainment available from the single level. It's a great example of PS3-candy, but for those looking for a game with replay value Pain falls critically short.

    Are you one of those people who like pain and explosions, this is for you. Fling a ragdoll across a city, museum, or amusement park. It's a strangely satisfying way of passing the time, but nothing to play like a game, more like a mini-passtime.

    Fun with some people you more or less like but not worth to play solo. But the concept is **** hilarious.

    While it has its flaws, the inventiveness and creativeness that went into making this game is impressive.

    It may not be chock full of stages to visit, but it's certainly great for a quick diversion, as its pick-up-and-play traits are rather welcoming.

    An unfinished game that will likely see improvements over time.

    Overall Pain is a very addictive game that not only looks and controls well, but it also demonstrates how the Havok physics engine can be utilized for some pure gaming craziness.
