The game is replete with scenes of cruelty and obscene language. The interrogation scenes are especially brutal. Having caught a bandit, the Punisher can interrogate him in order to obtain valuable information, for which the interrogated person needs to be scared and kept in this state for some time until he “breaks”. Interrogation provides four standard forms of threat (punching, beating your face on the floor, strangulation and threat to shoot), and there are also so-called places in the game levels. “special interrogation”, in which you can interrogate the enemy using improvised means (such as a circular saw, an aquarium with electric eels, an oven in a crematorium, etc.). For a successful “interrogation”, the Punisher is rewarded with health and valuable information. The game features dismemberment of bodies (limbs fly into pieces), blood on the floor and walls (gushing from wounds will disappear over time) and most corpses do not disappear.

Reviews and ratings
Long before the appearance of the Batman: Arkham series, video games about comics were still garbage (let’s remember the under-games about Spider-Man). But there were also pleasant exceptions like The Punisher. The Punisher is good as a third-person action game and as a comic book game (the origins are felt throughout the game). Little things like the main character's lair (and what an epic fight will happen there!) and places for torture (each interesting in its own way) worked out especially well. Well, battles against bosses deserve some nice words.
The Punisher may appeal to both fans of comics in general, and the Punisher in particular, and average gamers.
Задолго до появления серии Batman: Arkham видеоигры про комиксам были ещё тем мусором (вспомним хотя бы недоигры про Человека-Паука). Но попадались и приятные исключения вроде The Punisher. «Каратель» хорош как экшен от третьего лица и как игра по комиксам (на протяжении всей игры чувствуются истоки). Особенно хорошо удались мелочи вроде берлоги главного героя (а какая эпическая драка там случится!) и мест для пыток (каждое интересно по-своему). Ну и сражения против боссов заслуживают отдельных приятных слов.
The Punisher может понравится как любителям комиксов в целом, и Карателя в частности, так и среднестатистическим геймерам.
An incredibly complex and bloody grinder. The meat action with torture was amazing in its cruelty. We play as the Punisher, who clears the streets of garbage. To obtain information, you can torture victims: threaten to throw them out of a window, put them in a meat grinder, oven, etc. The murders themselves look simply breathtaking. How I would like all this beauty on the new engine, but most likely no one will do it, which is a pity. Although the AI in the game is stupid, it is difficult to play, because they attack in crowds. Maybe now I could have passed it easily, but then, in 2005, I couldn’t master Russian and abandoned the game.
Невероятно сложная и кровавая мясорубка. Мясной экшн с пытками поражал своей жестокостью. Мы играем за Карателя, который очищает улицы от мусора. Чтобы получить информацию, можно пытать жертв: пригрозить выкинуть из окна, засунуть в мясорубку, печку и т.д. Сами убийства смотрятся просто умопомрачительно. Как хотелось бы всю эту красоту на новом движке, но, скорее всего, это делать никто не будет, а жаль. Хоть ИИ в игре и туповат, но играть сложно, ибо нападают они толпой. Может, сейчас я легко бы прошел, но тогда, в 2005, я не осилил Русского, и забросил игру.
