Anyone check out The Punisher?

Jitter · Jan 22, 2005, 09:09 AM

I saw that the punisher was just released for PC and it looked like it could be fairly decent I was wondering if anyone had tried it out and what their thoughts were?

the gameplay is alright, it has a dual weapon thing, graphic wise, it's not so hot.

Riddick definitely.

I've only played the demo for Punisher but it seemed alright, though AIMing sorta sucked.

The game is okay, it was a lot better when it was called Max Payne.

the graphics do look pretty bad, seems like it was only ported for the pc, nothing to take advantage of anything higher than a r8500

it's made by THQ, need we say more?

They did Dawn Of War too.

i was more referring to the graphical prowess of the game. I don't think THQ has ever been on the cusp of that curve

Necrosis · Jan 25, 2005, 12:43 AM

Well at least it's better than Red Faction 2.

I have been very leary of any games based on movies becaue the last one i got was tomb raider and it was terrible. I might check out riddick though everyone seems to like it.

the movie tomb raider was based on the game...

I usually don't play games based on movies, b/c most of the time they're not that great. As far as I can think of, the Spider-Man and Matrix games have done well.

Jitter · Jan 25, 2005, 09:17 AM

yeah your right tomb raider the movie was based on the game.........I wasnt bashing the early tomb raider games, I was bashing the angel of darkness which I believe came out after the first movie.
