Building on the strengths of the original and addressing some of the shortfalls, the game once again follows the adventures of former death-row convict Torque as he seeks revenge against the man responsible for the death of his family. In that context, it's hardly surprising that Midway commissioned Surreal Software to get to work on a quick-fire sequel, set for release barely a year after the original was released on PS2 and Xbox. Carving itself a niche as an action-horror title certainly paid off for Midway, too, with the game going on to sell well over 500,000 copies worldwide, and managing to be one of a select few new brands to make any kind of impression on the masses at all. The Suffering's action-oriented take on the horror genre made for a refreshing change for fans with a thirst for the darker side of life when it arrived out of the blue last year.
