FiringSquad Summary:

DreamCatcher Interactive and People Can Fly are bursting onto the scene with their first really big title, Painkiller: Heaven's Got a Hitman. Promising back-to-basics singleplayer and Quake-inspired multiplayer, what couldn't we love? Imagine fast multiplayer with no footsteps, no pause in switching weapons and possibly the WORST starting gun ever... oh heck, read on to find out.

Description:
Painkiller is a first-person horror shooter, designed to satisfy a gamer's hunger for intense, fast-paced action. It's an adrenaline addict's nightmare, where hellish monsters swarm in seemingly endless mobs.
Graphically, Painkiller is unmatched. Played out over more than 20 completely unique and different levels, the proprietary 3D engine puts out 100X the polygons of the latest shooters, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques.

Stranded in a place between Heaven and Hell, your time of judgment is at hand. The Underworld is on the verge of unholy war, and you are but a pawn in the infernal battle. As you fight for your purification, the truths behind the deceptions are revealed.


Features:
Uses the new proprietary 3-D PAIN Engine
All weapons come in pairs, with a primary and secondary fire
Advanced AI coding will simulate group behaviors
For 1 or more players over LAN or Internet

Minimum Requirements:
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, 1GHz Pentium III or AMD Athlon CPU, 256MB RAM, 32MB Direct3D compatible video card, 1.2GB HDD space

87/100:
. Inspired by Quake but not tied down to it, Painkiller is certainly a game that fulfills my main requirement for a good game; it’s fun to play. --[HomeLAN Fed]
