Pain Final Hands-On (Gamespot)

If you gave Beavis and Butthead a game-development team and a Havok physics license, Pain is the kind of game we’d like to think they would eventually produce. Those of you who have kept up with Pain over the last few months will know this is basically a human version of Burnout’s crash mode, where you launch a poor guy or girl from a gigantic slingshot into an urban environment to see how much damage, chaos, and pain you can cause. Sony dropped off a finished version of the game for us to mess around with, and so far we’ve felt a little guilty about how much silly fun we’ve been having launching our hapless in-game avatar through glass, into speeding trains, and under big, fat trucks.
