The Punisher

"The steady mechanics and sheer brutality of The Punisher save it from the slaughterhouse and lead to a decent rental, but repetitive gameplay and some stupid design errors make it hard to commit to Frank Castle's crusade."

"It exceeded my expectations twice over. Though it's not overly abundant with new and unique features, the Punisher is an excellent action title that will keep any gamer grinning for days."

"The Punisher tries to break out of the shooter blueprint by offering sometimes-gory interrogation sequences, but these don't do enough to change what is otherwise a very by-the-numbers action game."

"It's nothing short of a pure Marvel fan's dream -- and given Volition's deep first-person shooter background and broad experience with RPGs as well, we should expect nothing short of a top-notch action game."

"It's as solid an action title as we're going to get in this current generation of videogaming and it's a keen representation of the fiction that puts to shame many of the other, far lesser attempts at duplicating superhero life in gaming."
