Heh, if you like shallow games like Serious Sam with no plot whatsoever, then go for this, the single player is exceptionally boring with few weapons but the MP is supposed to be excellent.

Also, if you own any of these drives, don't bother getting a copy of PK, it won't work thanks to jank copy protection:

# Pan International CyberDrive 240
# ASUS CD-S400
# M a t s h i t a CR-581-B
# Philips CDD2000
# LG GDR-8161B - this is in the majority drive in xwX000-family HP WS, also known as
# HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8161B
# Toshiba HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR-8081N (2002 sept laptop drive)
# LG HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GMA-4020B Apr 2003 IDE (internal drive) - probably none of these LGs are working
# HL-ST-DVDRAM GSA-4081 - I bought it weeks ago, this is that 8x DVD+/-R/RW/RAM drive!
# YAMAHA CRW-F1E - the tattoo drive

I've seen some good reviews of this. Is it really that shallow?

Well, i played the demo and that was enough for me - too boring.

Shoot reload - shoot reload and repeat.

Thats about it.

I have played the game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I like to unwind when i play a game. If i wanted a game that requires thinking then I might aswell stay in work. Fast mindless bloodshed = fun. You are weak in the head if you listen to other peoples opinions. Try it then decide.

It does have a story line although it is very weak. But I sometimes love playing games with nothing more to do than running around shooting lots of things. never mind all this searching for keys and solving puzzles. Mindless violence, great idea.

its fun - and it does have a plot but i dont care i can pick it up for 15 mins kill some stuff and job done loads of secrets to be found loads of specials u can collect and some huge huge HUGE end of lvvl bosses

[mrmassive]

im stuck in the nuclear silo any ideas and by the way my backup works on all drives

[SOSAGES]

the silo has a secret bit at the bottom - if u go back up the ladder from the secret bit and go round that level u will see a ladder on one of the walls go up that kill some stuff and meet some tanks

[mrmassive]

thanks mucker will try that

This has to be the single most boring game that I have played in a while. All you have to do is select the spinning weapon, don't know it's real name ( and don't care), and run at the demons and that's it. The rest of the weapons are pretty poor and after 15 minutes the game was uninstalled.

My idea of a great game is Max Payne 2. This game is an absolute classic and is the best game that I have played for ages.

Started to play Hitman Contracts tonight and it is pretty good. Similar to Hitman 2 except alot more bloody.

The demo features the latest version of the PAIN Engine and with it, the latest enhancements from the 1.35 update. In the popular "Military Base" level, players will enjoy effects such as heat and haze distortion, light blooms, per pixel specular mapping, new shader effects and tweaks for the latest video cards. All in all, a mere taste of what the PAIN Engine will offer in the expansion pack, Painkiller: Battle out of Hell.3D Gamers (http://www.3dgamers.com/news/more/1096480045/)
