PAIN, what can i say, it's a cool concept.
what you do in the game is rack up points by inflicting as much damage/pain to the avatar as possible. there are other game types like bowling and throwing mimes around.

the characters are hilarious in what they say when flying through the air. you can also have them pose in many different ways by pressing the D-pad and left triggers while in mid-air.

the downside i found so far is that there is only one stage (the city) i don't know how many stages it comes with or if there will be more as DLC but it could bore you if you play too long seeing the same stage and same settings. not to say that PAIN is boring, it's hilariously fun and you will find yourself saying "Ouch!" or "OOOH!" as your character bounces around hitting and breaking things. head on collisions with cars is funny as hell. There is 2 player support and some mini games that you can play. You can also unlock new characters or download new ones as they become available on PSN for download. The physics in the game is pretty good and the rag-doll of the character is good as well. There's many things to try and hit on the stages and it's fun to try to hit certain objects. There is an Ouch mechanic that is used after you hit something that throws the character around a bit to try and hit close by objects to rack up more points. exploding barrels and oncoming traffic helps you continue to break things and when you have nothing around you to break or when the timer runs out then you stop there and try it again to beat your score.

if you want a relaxing slow paced game that will make you laugh and cringe a few times but have a really fun time inflicting as much pain to the character as possible, then this game will suit you well.
