* HarsherInHindsight: The VanityPlate for Creator/{{Volition}} shows the company logo's head being repeatedly shot and falling from the V. It seems oddly prophetic, as Volition would close its doors in 2023.

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: The game is universally praised for its story and for capturing perfectly the spirit of the original ''Punisher'' comics, in no small part thanks to Creator/GarthEnnis himself being among the writers and Creator/ThomasJane portraying the titular protagonist. As for the gameplay, while not ''bad'', it's frequently criticized for being repetitive and not sticking out from the countless third-person shooters that were around at the time. The exception being of the [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique interrogation]] and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath special execution]] mechanics, which are fan-favorites and arguibly the most iconic element of the game.

Added DiffLines:

* CompleteMonster: [[InsaneAdmiral General Kreigkopf]] is the leader of [[TheMafiya the Russian Syndicate]] in the second portion of the game. An associate of [[TheMafia the Gnucci Family]], Kreigkopf would supply them with drugs and money from the harbor. When Castle attacks the harbor, he discovers Kreigkopf has been smuggling in weapons, including a tank and a nuke. Frank discovers that Kreigkopf is also part of a HumanTrafficking ring. Kreigkopf sends the Russian to attack Castle at his apartment. When Castle and Fury invade Grand Nixon Island, he prepares to [[NukeEm launch the nuke at New York City]], and manages to get it to the point it's supposedly irreversible before Frank kills him.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: Pretty much a given whenever the character is PlayedForLaughs, but one example especially qualifies. There's a level at [[ComicBook/IronMan Stark Industries]] where the Punisher essentially tears the entire place to shreds; at the end, [[spoiler: Iron Man himself comes in and sees what Frank did, and ''[[INeedAFreakingDrink it sends him]] OffTheWagon'']].
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: After planting bombs on the ship and speeding away with several of the girls Frank has just rescued from slavers, he hands one of them a detonator, letting her blow her captors sky high.
* Sugarwiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The 2004 game has been very well received both on the gameplay and writing side.
