It seems IGN have had the first pleasure of reviewing the much awaited Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell. IGN seem to have enjoyed what they have seen though, which is a big plus for all you Painkiller SinglePlayer fans.

“The game is coated in supernatural Gothic madness, but you hardly noticed most of the time because somethings flying at you. When somethings not, like in the majority of the haunted orphanage at the beginning of the game, Battle out of Hell briefly transcends the modest trappings of a shameless gorefest and becomes a little bit creepy. Your flashlight flickers and buzzes and doesnt shine very far. You can hear things rattling and groaning in the distance, and torchlight flickers in a gritty, dank corridor. Then a wave of skeleton zombies teleports from the bottom of a staircase, and its on.”

*UPDATE*
Over on the DC forums, Adrian has given his reaction to the review.
[PCF]Adrian: “But generally this review is an example of something I call “game journalist mood switch”. Here in Poland I have many friends who work in gaming mags and they all have one thing in common: if the game is to their taste, they easily skip all bad things about it and focus on good.”
You can find that here.
