I had fun with this one. I loved painkiller and BOOH. I had just finished EP2 and needed a diversion before Crysis so I picked this up. It kept me shooting for hours. Sometimes I just like to go back to the old days I guess.

Visuals are on par with the originals. Sound is the same (although I miss the metal music). Your character is a little more sarcastic than the last. i was kind of hoping we would get to see Daniel kick some more butt it this but eh.

If you're looking for an epic go see Beowulf at the theater. If you're looking for pure shooting fun without thinking then here you go.

I had no crashes, no video glitches, no hiccups or slow downs.
