Great downloadable first-person shooters for the PlayStation Network are few and far between, with some that try to use gimmicks to sell and others that are simply too by-the-numbers to be fun. Fortunately, The Punisher: No Mercy doesn't try to sell itself on gimmicks; it's simply an intense, over-the-top and stupid arena FPS, and that's exactly why it rocks. It strikes the perfect balance between the familiar and the new.

Gamer 2.0 writes: "The Punisher: No Mercy is Marvel's attempt to release comic inspired games as downloadable content. While The Punisher in itself is a dull character to completely base an entire game around, this PSN title does nothing to change the feelings towards him. With a boring single player mode, repetitive gunplay and serious, serious bugs and glitches that hinder almost every aspect of the game, The Punisher: No Mercy feels almost like an unfinished product that was released for the sake of trying to cash in on the popular Marvel names."
