Punisher

[MasterShake]

Ok so I have read all the emails and the responses to my posts and I will fix all the "u's" instead of "you" and all the caps...but anyway I want to buy this game and I keep getting mixed reviews...some say bad and stupid while others say its awesome. Anyone who has played it can you tell me if it is good or not or give me links. thanx

I haven't played it, but I've heard more bad than good.

I played the demo. It was just... an uninteresting, bland version of Max payne. Without the bullettime or shootdodging. You could dual wield though...

Mmm. Max payne. Maybe I should play that again... /me twitches gently

[MasterShake]

yea thanx I heard that alot too some people even said it was as if created by the same creators of Max Payne but without hte "goodness". lol

I know MoreDew picked up a copy. I don't know if he's had time to play it yet, considering his schedule at school. I've read reviews kind of all over the spectrum, some editors really liked it, others didn't. If you're a big fan of the character, I'd say give it a go. If you were able to sit through the entire movie, I'd say you could probably endure the game (and if you were able to sit through both the Dolph Lundgren movie and the Thomas Jane movie, why haven't you bought the game yet?). If you're not a big Punisher fan though, I don't know that there would be anything in the game worth seeing. One of it's big key selling points is that the story is written by Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti, the regular writers of the comic. If that doesn't mean anything to you, I wouldn't stress about getting the game.

yeah, I bought this game on the day it came out and I love it!  There's nothing quite like coming home from a hard, stressful day and starting the game to punish some baddies.  I have no complaints about the game.  It's basically pretty simple, kill everyone you see, but the main attraction is all the different ways you can kill people.  You also have to interrogate people to get them to spill information.  The interrogation techniques include several different ways of "persuasion."  This is one of the most violent games I've played; it's right up there with Manhunt and GTA.

If you like violent games, like the Punisher, then get the game.  I definately recommend it.  I haven't played Max Payne so I don't know if they're similar or not.

I heard a rumor that you were supposed to have the freedom of the GTA San Andres game.  Is this true?

[MoreDew]

No, you don't really have the freedom to wander around and do want you want.  Or least I'm not that far in the game to tell.  I just passed the fourth mission.  I don't have much time to play the game as much as I would want.

Thanks MoreDew
