The level design is really sweet. Just played one of the last levels (?), called "docks". Very cool.

Yeah .. i'm stuck now too ! any luck ?

is shooting the flame balls at Lucifer would accomplish something ?

To kill Lucifer you have to hit the knife back at him when he throws it up in the air and then he will fall over dead,the ending really sucked,I thought they could have had a better ending.

This may not be Far Cry (visually) but then again, the friggin bugs in Far Cry are just too much for my patience. I'll download the patch some other time.

Painkiller has a killer fun factor! I played the demo 2 for a week, 30 minutes a day, even though I could finish it on nightmare with two hand tied.

Now I got the full version, and it totally took my mind off Far Cry!

PK has a great replyability value .. i'll just play the game again sometime soon .. perhaps when i get my hands on 6800 so i can crank the res + aa,af to max

When you get all the tarot cards and finish the nightmare levels ,then you can play the Trauma levels and you get to see the Forest level and at the end of the Trauma levels you can see the different ending,witch I thought was worst the the first ending.

I didn't care for the first few levels so I have been slow getting through it. I must say I liked the Asylum. I also liked effects associated with the huge zombie boss in the one graveyard. Right now I am up to the town level that was put out as the demo.

I will finish it one day. Painkiller is not a game I enjoy a long session at but rather short stints.
