When I played the demo I thought to myself that this is crap. But when I got the full version I got amazed.
Though the graphics are not what I expected, the gameplay turns out to be very fun.
In fact this is probebly the funest killing game out there.
The intorigations are amazing.
What I also like about this game is that once you pass the missions, it doesnt mean that you have completed the game 100%. There are challenge mods which are hard, and other stuff to collect such as comic covers.
Overall I think this game is very fun and addicting.
I think that you will want to play it over and over agin. Deffenitly worth to play.
If only I could do this and get away with it

Guns, blood, and a whole lot of pain. Ever want to blast a guy just because you knew he was bad? Punisher has the nuts to do it.
Fun, Long, and Bloody...

This game is pretty long, so you get a lot of gameplay. There's plenty of blood, guts, and gore. It is repetative and the story line get a little off, mafia's, nuclear bombs, saving the city blah blah blah. Its fun non-stop killing with special kills throughout the game.
It does have a cheat feature, but it won't let you pass the levels using any of them... there are 'mod' programs that will let you cheat and pass the levels.
Pretty fun First Person Shooter. B+
Decent game, but nothing great

Some interesting features which turn out to be useless in game play. Pretty standard shooter.
Really cool game

The game kicks rear. The tortures and interrogations make it look very rear. Looking forward for next game about the Punisher

Simply put: don't waste your money on this game. The quality of this game is much lower than many other similar titles.
The Punisher!!

ummm I dont know why you guys are saying "the punisher gets barely hit"....well if you watched the movie you'll know why. Second, I have played this game with my freind and its really great. The graphics are actually awsome, especially game play. The best thing to do is go RENT it and decide on your own if you like it or not. Everyone has different opionions. I give it 4.5 stars our of 5.
Very good, Fun, I love it.

The Punisher in my opinion is the best game for 2005 so far, If you are into shooters then this is a game for you, I am normally a 1st person type myself (like doom3 or unreal tournament) but I found the 3rd person mode of the punisher very easy to control (almost like a resident evil/silent hill type), After only about 5 minutes of game play it was second nature to me in the 3rd person mode.. The game itself is pretty much true to the movies and comic books, just mindless killing of street scum, criminals, drug pushers, etc.. BUT the game does have some high point where you can interrogate victims for information or kill them using special items around you (like a wood chipper, coffin, sacrifice table, license plate tamper, etc..) .. The ability to take bad guys as human shields is always fun too. Between missions you return to your apartment where you can build up your levels by purchasing body armor, ammo, magazines, guns, etc.. Sort of cool.. You even have a wall of newspaper clippings and photos of the people you are stalking (I mean punishing). ALL and All I would say it is definitely worth the $40 bucks to drop for the PC version. I have gotten a few good hours of play out of it so far and have not finished it yet (still getting my butt kicked in rikers prison). And one nice thing, their is NO GOD MODE CHEAT! You really have to play the game, you cant just walk threw it. No unlimited ammo, No god mode, THANK YOU THQ for making people REALLY play... But an online feature would have been nice, [...]
Not terrible, not outstanding.

I will echo what some of the other reviews have said. This game really isn't that challenging. You can stand in a direct line of fire from multiple enemies and not take that much of a beating.
If you do get low on health (which shouldn't happen unless you don't try to fight back at all) a simple interrogation will boost your health right back. The lack of challenge also hurts the replay value.
This isn't a terrible outing. I wouldn't put it in the same class of fun as Max Payne or Hitman though.
There is very little replay value. There are unlockables but they are all things that don't motivate you to put up with the frustration of doing task 'x' in 'y' minutes. The unlockables are all gallery (pictures) related things. Pictures aren't enough to make me want to play the game again after I beat it the first time.
