Gothic Story, Frantic Gameplay.

Painkiller is an award-winning first-person horror shooter, designed to satisfy your hunger for intense, fast-paced action. It's an adrenaline addict's nightmare, where hellish monsters swarm in seemingly endless mobs.

Features:

* Intense gameplay: The player will be constantly outnumbered, fighting against seemingly insurmountable odds.
* Includes Xbox Live Multiplayer action!
* Next-generation graphics: The game uses the proprietary 3D "PAIN Engine" capable of pumping out an unbelievably high polygon count, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques.
* Combo weapons: All weapons come in pairs, with a primary and secondary fire.
* Morphing: Your unholy pact gives you the power to morph into a powerful possessed creature with every 66 souls collected.
* Lasting replay value: Painkiller features a standard single player campaign, with additional modes to encourage replay. The game also features full multiplayer Xbox Live support.
* Physics Engine: Painkiller employs the Havok 2.0 physics engine, allowing for inverse kinematics ("rag-doll physics") and deformable, interactive environments.
