I need another FPS like a hole in the head, but The Punisher? online? multiplayer? story? trophies? for $10? sure, why not.

Looks like a standard FPS - but as you said, it's the Punisher.

Oh yeah been waiting for this one since it was announced. The Punisher for PS2 is still one of my favorite games.

The rare downloadable game that seems underpriced.

It would have to really suck and be really short to not be worth ten bucks.

I wonder if there'll be a demo.

Just for future reference, PS Store usually updates between 4 PM (Eastern) and 7 PM. The earliest I've seen it update: 3:30 PM. The latest: Midnight. I'd say it most frequently updates at around 7 PM.

Cool, thanks. I've never bought something from the PSN on the date it's come out, but this title intrigues me.

Word is that it's a shit-sandwich, not even worth the time it takes to play it, much less $10.

here is a rather in depth review. He gives it an 8/10, myself, I'd give it a 6/10. Great game? no way. Worth a $10 d/l? sure... we've all wasted money on worse I'm sure.

Here is some game play footage I found on youtube. I still don't know if I want to spend $10 on this game, you seem to die very easily.

This game is pretty fun on the story mode, your basic "kill this many people in 10 minutes".

This game blows on the multi though. Very inconsistent, feels like it either takes one shot to kill someone or a whole clip.

10.00 is an appropriate price for this game.

Re: Punisher: No Mercy (PSN exclusive) 7/2 for $10

It gets pretty much eviscerated in the IGN review
Closing Comments
The Punisher: No Mercy is a pretty bad game all around. The somewhat interesting upgrade mechanics don't help overcome the numerous problems: a super-short (and boring) single-player mode, laggy online play, almost complete lack of feedback when hitting someone, bland level designs, and a good deal more. There's just not really anything to like here, unfortunately.

3.0 Presentation
The story makes no sense and the single-player portion is only about 45 minutes long. Why can't you create an open custom online server?
4.5 Graphics
While it's housed in Unreal Engine tech, the art design is usually either bland or bad and the animation quality is pretty poor.
6.0 Sound
This is a big mixed bag. The weapons actually sound pretty good, but the voice work, especially the in-game comments, are terrible.
4.5 Gameplay
The upgrade and powers system is cool, but most everything else is poor. The level design is bland, the single-player missions are bad and the online is laggy.
4.0 Lasting Appeal
If you like to play boring games online, this is for you. Otherwise, don't bother.
4.2
Poor OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

People on CAG don't seem to like it, they said the single player is about a half hour long, and laggy multiplayer. I wanted to get this, but my "group" held off on the purchase.
