Empty-headed amusement

User Rating: 7 | PAIN PS3
By b_wilcox | Review Date:
PAIN isn't much more than a digitized trinket, a stocking-stuffer this holiday season. You'll get a lot of chuckles and some depraved entertainment out of slingshotting a guy around a cityscape, and some of the mawkish pop culture references and crude visuals give you something to smile about.

PAIN could never sustain its momentum as a full-fledged, shrink-wrapped product, but for a $10 download it's not half bad. It's oddly absorbing for such a shallow exercise, but I'm not sure that many people will appreciate its oddball humor and the impressive virtues of the Havok engine.

In this day and age, where games are expensive and short on content, at least you get what you pay for with PAIN. There's not many options out there for a mere ten bucks, so at least this is a decent diversion, with some potential for expansion.
