It's a PS3-exclusive PlayStation Network game, and it kicks ass! Welcome to Pain.
The idea behind Pain is relatively simple. You have a highly-destructible environment full of hazards, explosives and people to hurt. Your job is to take your character and launch him out of a people launcher (you can't make this shit up) so that he runs into a bunch of stuff and hopefully strings together enough crap to get a bunch of points!
Stupid? Yes! Fun? INSANELY!!!
The regular game will set you back $9.99 and is totally worth the price of admission. For your cash, you get one character (and at least one other that's unlockable) in a 'downtown' arena just full of stuff to crash into. But it's the downloadable content that gets ya!
Currently, if you get everything that Pain has to offer, you'll run up about $33 worth of content. (I know this because I snagged it all. Hee hee!) Pain has 2 more environments- an indoor amusement park and a MASSIVE movie studio with 3 launchers at different positions, comparing to the other environs' single launchers. Each of these run $5.99.
The rest are all characters to launch. There's a mohawked punk rocker, an asian schoolgirl-style gamer chic, a latina hottie, naughty nurse, lardass stuntman wannabe, midget ninja, midget pirate, naughty Ms. Santa sort'a chick, flabby nasty mall Santa, and maybe a couple of others I'm missing.
Oh, and then there's... the Hoff!!!
That's right, David Hasselhoff is yours to launch through the air, into spinning fans, amusement park rides, exploding teddy bears, whatever you want! And yes, this is what sealed the deal for me- I immediately bought everything that the game had to offer right then and there.
There are also objective-based variations- some wanting you to explode a number of barrels, or grab a mime (or clown) in midair and throw them into glass or other junk- as well as the PainLab levels that are provided free by the developers, which are sort of beta 'idea' levels for future content.
The game has the full-on ragdoll physics goin', and lemme tell you, I cackled all last night playing this game- it's the frickin' bee's knees! I would've bought the PS3 solely to play this game if I had known it existed. Yes, it's that stupid, that simple, and that fun.
And there's some multiplayer, but I haven't cracked that open yet. Been having too much fun with the game, it's just insanely good.
And each character comes with their own in-air poses. The latina chick shakes that ass and dances around. The naughty nurse poses seductively. The regular plain-ass 'extreme' main character tosses out some extreme posing, including a spread-legged shot that's EXCELLENT for nutbusting.
If you need a good laugh or some stress relief, Pain is one of those games that's hard not to recommend- it's as cheap as you want it to be, fun as all hell, simple yet as complicated as you like (each level has a good few hidden launch pipes and the like). It's awesome. And you can check out a ton of videos on the Playstation Network, or at www.painps3.com
