A few gimmicks attempt to keep the action from turning too stale. All of this is done to rack up points which you can use to unlock new guns or concept art.
Despite these distractions, the action always boils down to shooting everything in sight. You quickly realize that the main challenge the game throws at you is to gun down ever larger hordes of armed mobsters, druggies, thugs and other assorted scum.
Even the interrogation minigames are more for show — you can gun everyone down and will still be able to complete the game, albeit with a lower score. The AI is competent at keeping the combat interesting, at least. Kill most of the guys in a room and the last dude will usually just drop his weapon and give up — you can leave him or entertain your inner sadist. In the game, there are many types of weapons. Pistols, flamethrowers, grenade launchers, you practically feel all this in your hands, so it's quite interesting to play.
In addition, there are types of melee weapons that can be used in the "Butcher" mode. This is where you can arrange a real meat grinder, but the mode is not eternal and depends on a special scale, which, by the way, can also be pumped.
Very realistic, depicts the dismemberment of bodies, a lot of blood, meat and corpses. In general, it is quite interesting to play, the graphics, even by real standards, are quite bearable, visually there are small jambs, but you just do not pay attention to them.

The major "value" of the PC version is a litany of cracks truly, take your pick to reverse these censorship changes. I played with one applied, and the technical quality of restoring these sequences is spot on.
The benefit of them, well, it's true to The Punisher and it's just breaking little polygon men apart. It's also ridiculously over the top The Punisher feeds a guy to a convenient shark The other benefit to the PC version is the Fine Aim mode.
This is present in the consoles as well, but here gets the tremendous precision of the mouse. The camera pushes in tight over Frank's shoulder, and you now directly control his gun inside the screen. This is critical to defeat some of the late game, fully armored foes, as only headshots will count. It's so critical, in fact, that I wonder if they emphasized this for the PC version. I can't imagine trying to pull off some of the shots needed here on a console gamepad, and they'd be crueler than Frank himself to force it on you.
With the mouse though, it's smooth sailing. Speaking of challenge, there's two ways to play the game. Frank absorbs so many bullets, even on Hard, that your health is almost never an issue.
I'm pretty sure I only died once during the entire game, and if you're hurting, more health is just a pointless interrogation away. This leads to a fairly boring game, where you lumber around like a Terminator and clear every room before moving on to the next. Enemies are moderately capable of diving for cover and flanking you when they get the opportunity, but slipping up and getting shot doesn't have much consequence. The only frills here come from the special interrogations.
Perhaps sensing this, Volition has included a points-focused sub game. Every level tracks your score. Your accumulated points are used to buy upgrades for Frank and unlock new challenge modes. You'll earn enough points by default that you can serviceably get through the game while totally ignoring this system as I did , but high-level players will want to try and max this score.
The unlocked rewards are pretty tasty, including improved accuracy, larger magazines, and grenade launcher attachments. You max your score by maintaining a point multiplier that increases the longer you drop enemies without being hit yourself.
Your accuracy doesn't matter, in that missing shots won't reset your multiplier. You just need to avoid taking any damage, which is easier said then done. You'll need to use all of Frank's tricks - human shields, fine aim, crouching, moving behind objects for cover - to pull off a Gold medal run. You even take a point hit for killing guys during interrogations, forcing you to stuff that killer instinct. It adds some much-needed challenge and depth for people who actually want to explore the game, and really is the only thing saving the whole show from being strictly average.
Graphics are pretty plain, and it's clear this was designed with consoles in mind. The low-res textures and lack of detail overall don't contribute to a "comic book" vibe either, this just looks like a PS2 game Freedom Fighters comes to mind. The Punisher's model has great animation and a nice flowing coat. He'll also change looks a few times throughout the game. Havok physics sling bodies around satisfyingly.
Locations are decently varied, though levels like the zoo or office skyscraper will make you wish for more environmental destruction.
