The executions in this game are top notch and elevate it beyond other third person shooters from this generation. Sure, it can be a bit generic outside of that and the story isn't anything to write home about, but it's the best Punisher game I'm familiar with. Highly recommend!

Badass third person shooter and feels just like it came out of a Garth Ennis comic book (he is involved with the game after all). Nice selection of guns and several ways to interrogate or execute enemies. Action gets more crazy as the game progresses. The only flaw of this game besides some minor glitches is that the boss fights could be better.
You had to be there, everyone is sleeping on this game, it kicks major ass. Dual wielding shotguns, killing thugs by feeding them to piranhas, impaling them on broken windows, or cremating them in a funeral home's oven, and of course, hanging baddies upside down off fire escapes and shaking the change out of their pockets. This is honestly one of my favorite games and I've re-played it too many times to count. A damn shame it never got a sequel. The only good Punisher game as far as I can tell, which is strange since the character is so ripe for the medium.
A fabulous, cheesy, gory gem of a mid-2000s license game. The headlines for Punisher 2005 will obviously be about the grotesque interrogation scenes, but the minute-to-minute gameplay is also a joy in its simplicity.
While mechanically it's a fairly standard third person shooter, there's enough polish here to make you smile. Enemy AI is surprisingly good, as NPCs run around looking for cover or items to throw at you. They can fling crowbars at you, nail one of their buddies by accident, and will usually even have a little quip to acknowledge that.
Punisher is full of little moments like that, plus an assortment of ragdoll physics chuckles, that make for a game that's tone can be summed up as "giddy."
