I agree, plus at that price it's really hard to go wrong. They're are plenty of similar games at retail that cost more.

Actually i can't believe i wasted my money on this, the framerate hurts my eyes in single player the controls suck plus you can't map the buttons or change sensitivity. The online play is unplayable but seemed like it could be fun if there wasn't a 2 sec delay when i try to play online.

For some odd reason the PS srore will NOT allow me to download either the demo or the full game so I can't say a great deal about this one except that the reviewer expecting a real SP mode is nuts when you consider dearer games like L4D and UT3 don't bother with anything but a training exercise.

No real reviews of how the co-op does yet either- they always gloss over it, is it THAT bad?

3 - One of the better comic book games period.
Really nails the Punisher look and feel. Plays great. It's cheap. Add all that up and I would give the game a 9. It misses the 10 because it does have some screen tearing, but for being a licensed product it rocks.

I've never really though of it like that, I guess looking back their haven't been very many good comic to game adaptations.

It's just the same as the sp except there are two of you. each level requires you to do something like get to 50 kills first on your team or survive 8 waves of enemies and you now get a partner to help you do that. good point about it though, no one's mentioning it.

This was definitely a day one for me since I'm pretty big into comics hence support the universes when ever possible.

It's not a revolution of the Quake-like but it's a good update to the genre. My only problem is that it's really, really too short. Too few maps, too few characters, too few weapons,...

But i guess for 7.99€ we shouldn't ask too much. If you have a bunch of friends that like Quake or Unreal Tournament, just go for it, it can be quite fun despite it's a bit slow.

It's fun, but I found a few things disappointing: The character doesn't really feel 'weighty', the guns seem under powered and it's very hard to tell when you're being shot & how much damage you're taking.
A mini-map would have been nice too.

Oh I know, but in the middle of a match it would be nice to 'feel' the impact of the bullets in a more visceral way - Some form of screen blur, more obvious blood splatter or something like that.

As it is now, I don't really feel the urge to look at my health indicator because I don't feel 'in danger', then next second I'm dead because I've been shot several times and didn't notice the tiny direction indicator.
