The Punisher (PC CD)

I recently bought it for a bargain price after seeing ads for it I thought that I'd give it a go. The story is great, the graphics aren't amazing but are pretty good however this is not important and the game doen't rely soley upon graphical prowess like other games ( ahem Doom 3 ). You take on the role of Frank Castle whose family has been murdered but he survived and he decides to go kick some ass in revenge.
The game is in 3rd person perspective much like max payne only without all the bullet time shennanigans. The game has loads of cool features like the levels interrogation abilities killing methods etc. loads of guns to deal out death with ! This game is a must have for any serious action game lover you must buy it now !!!

What can i say.. this game is great in many ways, dont know where to start.

Ok, first the game is so enjoyable, so engrossing, the missions are super! The missions are NOT short by any means like some games are... these missions are lenthy and have quite a few loading points to the next phase of a part of the mission. if you are playing on 'hard' like i am you will enojy this game more because it becomes more intense. You may think well isnt that like other games? Well its not because the punisher has excellent gameplay and excelent gameplay mixed with a challenge is good gaming.
The graphics is not the games strongest feature, but its graphics holds its own and in the game you get some great visuals expecially if you playing a mission where your outdoors. The inside of the buildinsgs that you will be going into have some great detail.
Overall this game is wicked! Lots of fun and an interesting story that will get you thinking, and its a shooter! So if you like shooting games first or 3rd person, this game is for you.
