  Good violent fun for everyone!
  
  Funny everyone dogs the Painkiller series but basically its just been one of those games u turn on, shoot to kill, and get out your angst after a long day at work. Fun goofy chinese samuris, ninjas, old WWII veterans, firey devils in wheelchairs, you name it its here. So quit taking the game TO seriously its not meant for that its just fun, and is what it is, funny this series always gets good reviews from critics, so they must do something right. Btw there is no Secur ROM if you digital download it, thats the blessing of these new sites, no DISCS and no DRM. Got my from Direct To Drive for [...]!! They also have specials for [...] bucks all the time on some very good games. So in conclusion if you like shootem up repetitive killing games this one is for you, personally this is the only one i think that is done right.:D

  installs SECUROM spyware on your PC
  
  Painkiller OVERDOSE installs the Securom spyware program on your machine. To get rid of it Google trashreg and unlocker, two programs that can get Securom off your machine. On top of this OVERDOSE has the most annoying voice-over of any game I've ever played! I uninstalled it after about a half-hour, your character babbles like a teenager trying to sound cool constantly, it gets grating real fast. Avoid this game.

  Very fun, very dumb. If you like the original, you'll like this..kind of
  
  Simply, this is another chapter of Painkiller. Those of us that loved the original, and loved BOH, will also like this one.
  
  Basically, Painkiller has no real story (it has a silly one), and you run around as fast as you can shooting things. I probably played the original over 100 times through over the years, and the BOH follow on, about 50. This one is much the same, although it takes some time to reorient yourself into Painkiller thought
  
  The dynamics are almost the same as all PK games, and you'll have to take a bit of time to get yourself into it. Once you're acclimated, its a barrel of laughs. If you take it too seriously, you're missing the point of the PK franchise. Lots of dumb enemies, lots of twisted weapons, lots of silly ammo. And then its over..
  
  Don't overthink this one. Its a goofy way to spend some spare time. Its not serious art (bioshock) or great strategy and story (stalker, half life series), its just a shooter

  Good, but not AS Good.
  
  I personally found Painkiller Overdose to be MUCH more challenging than the first ones, but also considerably less enjoyable. Belial (Your Character) Isn't developed very well, and becomes cheesy/annoying VERY quickly. The weapons are also changed from the original, and more nice/flashy, but ultimately unnecessary ones are added.
  
  I personally would have been far happier running around as Daniel Garner again, with my smaller but more streamlined arsenal from the first two.
  
  However, No such luck... The game is still challenging though, and if you can ignore Belial's ridiculous babbling, it can still be quite fun. At least until the end Boss, who is just ridiculous in his final stage.

  Awesome Game, Long Live the Bunnyhop
  
  Excellent gameplay, graphics and sound. Very reminiscent of other fast paced quake 3 like games such as return to castle wolfenstein.
