This game came out at the same time as Farcry, and everyone was debating which would be better. And I think most people went with Farcry, since it was a little bigger name game. But I found Painkiller to be cooler. And from what I've played of Farcry, I think I'm right. Painkiller is way more fun and looks just as good. Plus how cool is it to shoot huge wooden stakes through an enemy, pinning him against the wall. But I'll give Farcry a chance, someday.
