Legendary game, this is one of the best superhero games ever made. Story, music, gameplay all was PEAK. Style similar to Punisher MAX run really sold me on playing this game as a teen.

As a gamer with ADHD I always struggled to finish a game and hold my attention but this game holds a special place in my heart because it was the first game that I was able to complete 100% through and unlocked a lifetime obsession with the character.

Love the Punisher and I love this game. The brutality is a bright spot for people who want to play a mature video game. The game takes you on quite a ride where you are in various intriguing environments and encounter other Marvel characters. I would prefer not to have to hack my way around a game and would be willing to pay for it again in order to play it again safely. Thank you for listening GOG!

Aw man, this is my favourite comic book game. The way you try to get info my a goon is insane. The gameplay is fun & Frank is unstoppable & I wanna replay this game again if it gets remastered.
This is a fantastic superhero game. The GORE. The BLOOD. It game-izes The Punisher like nothing else. This is an important game in the history of superhero adaptations and deserves to be played.

Low key one of the best experiences I've had playing a video game. Using human shields, then disposing of them by throwing them away like chop liver. Its a brutal game and it would only be proper to release this game legit into the wild.

I briefly been around this Punisher game. My cousin brought this game over. Me and my cousin played this for a little while on PlayStation 2. I don't think I got to this game. As a huge Punisher fan, it would mean a lot to me. Also considering Volition who made Saints Row series behind it. Most agrees the best Punisher game ever made!!! A lot of people surprisingly missed out on this game. In fact, I'm sure if it were to become available on GOG. A lot of people going to buy the hell out of this. The Punisher was a rather unexpected licensed game for it's time. I personally waiting a long time to finally play this myself. I seen enough of the game play, when do we punish the bad guys?

I saw a neighbor in 2005 playing this game and I immediately fell in love, I went with my father to a local game store, I was about 9-10 years old, the seller asked if it was too early for me to play such games? but I replied that I had already played GTA and postal 2 and the game was sold to us, I can't count how many times I went through it, for many years I waited for a sequel or remake, but all in vain, and I still have the tradition of going through this game every year.

I played this on OG XBox back in the day and it's one of the best representations of the character in any media. I miss this and hope to play it again someday.
One of the top games of my youth, and probably my introduction to more "realistic" and gritty heroes like Punisher. For my money this is one of the better comic book games ever made. Great thematic soundtrack, great voice performance especially by Thomas Jane and some fantastic level variety, along with the iconic interrogations and kills. Even when I was a kid and get sidetracked doing anything, I managed to play this game back to front tons of times. It'd be great to have a legit and safe playable version on a modern platform, especially if they can get rid of the violence censorship that was going rampant back in the early 2000s.
