Baywatch and Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff is being recreated as a playable character in PSN game PAIN.

His likeness, complete with posh tuxedo and Knight Rider suit (emblazoned with "The Hoff" on the back) will be downloadable from 6th November, according to the US PlayStation blog.

Hasselhoff, who admits he's not much of a gamer himself, is so thrilled with his new starring role he has recorded a new version of Culture Club's Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, which will be available as a download when the game hits stores. He'll sing as you thrash him around the Movie Studio area. He tells vynsanecom, "When they said they had the rights to the song, that really sold me." 

"The idea of 'hurting The Hoff' or 'hassling The Hoff' was just hysterical to me," Hasselhoff told People magazine, while struggling to eat a burger and singing down the Berlin Wall.

PAIN was released at the beginning of the year to decent reviews, and has been regularly updated throughout the year.
