Genre: Action
Release Date: 04/09/2004 | | You play a man who dies in a pathetic car crash (he\'s distracted because he\'s holding his girl\'s hand) and has spent a long time in purgatory. He thinks this is unfair because, despite being well-schooled in the art of killing, he maintains that he\'s done nothing wrong. Heaven makes a deal with him. Take care of a little invasion problem concerning Hell, and our hero can enter Heaven\'s pearly gates.
The setting includes darkened monasteries, graveyards, a horrifying asylum, a medieval town under siege, and even hell itself. The level design is brilliant, varied, and jam-packed with enemies. There seems to be no end to the amount and variety of cool monsters to fight, and they each explode into chunks of blood and gore in a most disturbingly satisfying manner. At the end of each level is a challenge, such as collecting a certain amount of gold or killing a Boss within a time limit. Winning the challenge gives you tarot cards you can use to make the game easier. The different cards bring haste, double-damage, invulnerability, and so on. |
