A Party Game That's Fun In Short Bursts...

PAIN was promoted as a fun and comical PSN game that will keep you laughing and entertained. Though I agree that it is humorous and fun, you'll find that playing this can get quite boring after an hour or so.
At it's base the game will cost you $9.99. This will give you the one board to play with and a VERY short list of characters. Additional characters will cost you $0.99 and additional boards will cost you $5.99. If these updates were free, I may have given this game an extra half star for some added replay value. But, when you see this game not being played for months, you tend to think whether paying for an update is truly worth it.
A game like this could have benefitted greatly when they began supporting trophies. Unfortunately, they've given such a short list of trophies that are extremely difficult to attain, you feel more frustrated and bored realizing the amount of patience they will require.
In the end, PAIN has the potential to be a fun game. But, in the end no matter how great a game is, how much fun can it be when you can only play the same three levels over and over and over again?
