Beyond the shear greatness of those who actually work on the game is the game itself (and it should be noted that Coker and Travis are, hands down, some of the most awesome people you can ever talk with). Though it looks dull and repetitive at first, you get hooked right away with the off color humor and find yourself begging for more just to get on the leader board. The difficulty is a bit much, esp.when it comes to the trophies, and on occasion you can get a little bored of it. But being the type of game that it is (point biased rather than an end game), it is easy to come back to and enjoy again and again. The beauty of the game is the psychics engine that make it possible for you to rarely repeat results. Because of this, you can never say you have "done it all in pain" there is ALWAYS something new that can happen. Now, or at least next week, with 4 environments, several single and multiplayer modes per environment, your own jukebox, nearly a dozen characters, and an amazing online mode... I don't think this game will ever get old. I actually dread the thought of Pain 2, because this one is already to awesome to eventually toss to the back burner for something new. @Matthew While you are correct about the pricing, the value is worth it. Not to mention all the freebees they have given along the way as well. At this point, to buy everything you WOULD spend about 30/35 bucks. BUT this is what you get... 3 environments with one on the way a wide assortment of hilarious characters online mode weekly updates with beta modes to test more trophies than any other PSN game on the market in game jukebox video recording, editing, and youtube uploading replay value that hasn't been matched since Pacman and more modes than you can shake a stick at ... though I recommend you use the duel shock 3 rather than a stick, it works better for getting points.

more trophies than any other PSN game on the market

and more modes than you can shake a stick at … though I recommend you use the duel shock 3 rather than a stick, it works better for getting points.

Original game is $10 and each environment costs between $6 and $8 and each add-on character is $1...give me a break. If you buy everything for this game it is around $30 and that is ridiculous for so little gameplay. @haskell420

Yes I agree it is kind of repetitive form each mode that comes out. But De Ano said it right, and I have been a HUGE part of that web site since it's inception in Nov of 2007. I have played games all my life, and I'm 36. I don't know how many I have played, but it's got to be over a thousand. Once the internet kicked in, we had new access. Out of ALL the games I have played, and all the websites that come with those games, NOT ONE, NOT A SINGLE GAME BE IT PS2, PS3, XBLOW, NINTENDO ETC, has MORE GIVE AND TAKE, with their fan and customer base then the guys who created PAIN, Travis Williams, and Jason Coker, along with Ted Litchford and Dave Walsh. I have NEVER, EVER seens a give and take talking with the creators, or designers of the game YOU play, where you can takk to them EACH AND EVERY DAY, where you can submit ideas, talk them over, ask our opions and on and on, then the PAIN web site. This is one game, that I actually feel a part of because of the idea's I have submitted, where some have been taken ind implemented. They talk to us, that ask us for ideas, characters,what we want, what we like, what we need, what we don't need what we don;t like.. AND THEY LISTEN TO US! It is truly a awesome thing to be in contact and pitch ideas etc, that get implemented into the game. It's awesome and I am PROUD to be a apart of it It’s gonna be sweet.
