5.0 out of 5 stars Killing Has never Been This Fun, July 12, 2005

Scorpion (Somewhere on the sun) - See all my reviews

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Punisher (CD-ROM)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Long, and Bloody..., October 29, 2005

Microbiologist, RN, and perpetual student. "~BB" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Punisher (CD-ROM)

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+

This review is from: The Punisher (CD-ROM)

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.
