Painkiller Black Edition includes Painkiller and the expansion pack Battle Out of Hell, featuring 10 additional single-player levels and many new villans.
Gothic Story, Frantic Gameplay. 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. The proprietary PAIN Engine puts out an unbelievably high polygon count, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques, including soft shadows, DOT3 bump mapping, water reflections, glass simulation, volumetric light and fog, and more. Plug in the Havok 2.0 physics engine, and you get a realistic environment in a totally fantastical setting.
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
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.
Physics Engine: Painkiller employs the Havok 2.0 physics engine, allowing for inverse kinematics ("rag-doll physics") and deformable, interactive environments.
Over 30 levels of fierce action, dozens of different enemies in completely unique and varied environments.
High adrenalin gameplay: non-stop action, hundreds of enemies to be decimated and gigantic bosses.
14 incredible weapons, including the famous stake-gun, and the mythical Painkiller.

This game was pretty popular back in the mid 2000s, but a series of shoddy budget sequels (thinly disguised expansions, in reality) pretty much killed long-term good faith towards the series. However, Black Edition is still an amazing time, and is one of the best FPSes of its decade. Great graphics and performance, killer soundtrack, fun arcade/boomer shooter style gameplay all combine to make this a lost gem of the genre.

Game is old and even games in 2004 this seems to be a very low effort game. As a kid I remember this seemed like a cool game but playing it now is kind of annoying literally a cookie cutter game. Would not buy this game even for $1 as free to play and games from 1990 are better than this 2004 game. Dont waste your time and the boss fights are among the worst of almost any game i ever played.
