The first thing you might notice (especially if you played the PC version) is that the Xbox can't swallow some of these levels whole, so you end up getting these short, but frequent load times as you pass from area to area. Using the arena model of level design, you move through some massive levels (no, seriously, these things are freaking HUGE) that are divided into areas that seal themselves off for battles ranging from 20 to 200 opponents before the door opens and you can continue to the next area and repeat the process. Painkiller’s gameplay falls in that comfortable area somewhere between Doom and Serious Sam. Why weren’t you allowed into Heaven? Why does God need a hitman? How many shotgun rounds does it take to kill the devil? These and other questions might just be answered if you have the skills required to rid the universe of the ultimate evil. You play as Daniel Garner, killed in a car crash and sentenced to eternity in Purgatory, that is, until you make a deal to defeat Satan and his four generals. Story is secondary in a game like Painkiller, but there is a feeble attempt to tie the 20 levels of bloodletting together with a plot. It was one of those games where if you weren't constantly climbing ontop of the dead bodies you would be buried alive in a single encounter. Hell Wars is the console version (port if you will) of the gritty PC shooter that shattered the FPS genre back in 2004 with its rapid-fire approach pitting one lone soldier of heaven against impossible demonic odds. I know I've played it at the last two E3 shows, so I guess that dates it in some fashion. Painkiller: Hell Wars has been in the works for.well, I can't remember how long.
