First Grab an enemy and use him as a shield. Then get your best gun and get the zoom aim
(Default button : F) and aim for the head! This takes out enemies faster, plus you get 
protection from the shield due to the process being slow! 
Against loner bosses, just zoom aim on the head!.

Always use quick kill to fill up "THE SLAUGHTER METER" quicker, and then enter slaughter 
mode when u see the baddies, and throw knives to regain health! You can kill bosses in a
more easy way in slaughter mode!


Strategy to beat "The Russian:
------------------------------
Submitted by: ashwini sharma

The first time you encounter "The Russian", wait for him to thump on the apartment floor 
after which he will get dizzy, then sieze your chance and jump on his back from the 
behind. then control him and smash him onto the fridge, tv etc to knock him down.

The second time you will encounter him on grand nixon island. here he will run on the 
above ledge and try to throw barrels at you. you should shoot the barrels right when they
are above his head ( while he is lifting them) to inflict maximum damage to him. after 
sustaining some damage he will climb down and chase you. try not to get into his hands 
and keep running around in circles( he will follow as a dumb bot). there are certain 
inflammable barrels in the area. shoot them whenever he is near to them while he is 
chasing you. ( they will blast only when lighted earlier by "The Russian" himself.)

Full weapon ammunition pick-ups:
--------------------------------
Complete the game without purchasing any upgrades in the apartment menu. When you now 
pick up weapons, you will get a full clip every time. Note: If you purchase upgrades 
it will no longer work.


Defeating Bullseye:
-------------------
When in Kingpin's office, throw grenades at him. Do not try to shoot him unless you
aim for the head; bullets do not hurt him. Just keep throwing grenades until he dies.


Defeating Bushwacker:
---------------------
To defeat Bushwacker you must do two things. First, aim for his head and fire. 
Eventually, his glasses will fall off. Once, his glasses are off it is a free 
for all as long as you have some flashbangs. If you do not have flashbangs, then 
just kill some henchmen and they will drop some. Begin launching flashbangs near 
Bushwacker and he will get disoriented. When he starts moving around like he is 
drunk, start shooting him. He will begin to fire his weapon, but most of the time 
he is inaccurate. He eventually will die after enough damage is taken.


Defeating Bosses:
-----------------
There is a good gun with rapid fire that can be used to easily defeat Bushwacker, 
Bobby Gnucci, and Eddie Gnucci. The M60 machine gun can take down these three 
guardians and they will fall very easily to your punishment. It will not penetrate 
Jigsaw's armor, but it might work on his jetpack. Then, use the proximity mines on 
him to defeat him.


Defeating armored opponents:
----------------------------
Shoot them in the head with any gun to kill them. The battle rifle and assault rifle 
with a scope are the best weapons to use. This will help you take down the white and 
black commandos that are part of the Yakuza gang.


Special kills:
--------------
When you grab enemies with skulls over their heads, you can get information from them. 
In order to do special kills, you must walk over to a gold skull shining out of the 
ground with the enemy. To do this, you must grab him and return to shield position. 
Take him over to the gold skull. Then, use his own method. 


Kill while reloading:
---------------------
If you are reloading and have enemies in front of you, do a ''quick kill'' on them 
while you reload.


Regenerate health:
------------------
While you are in slaughter mode your health will regenerate slowly.


Scared or disgusted enemies:
----------------------------
If you get close enough (just slightly further than the Quick Kill/Grab point) an 
enemy will sometimes (especially in the earlier levels) back off, wave his hands as 
if to say "don't shoot" then say similar to "It-- it's you!!!!"; giving you time 
to shoot him. Also, sometimes by performing a quick kill near another enemy, sometimes 
they will put a hand over their mouth as though they are about to vomit, and say 
something similar to "I think I'm gonna be sick!" or "Oh my God!" followed by a 
vomiting sound. This also gives you some extra time to shoot the enemy. 
Note: This does not work on all Yakuza gang members.


Easy points:
------------
To achieve a high score, grab a human shield and use him. Shoot some enemies and try 
not to get hit. The longer you go without getting hit, the higher your points get. 
However, if you somehow get hit your points are rounded up and you must start again 
with not getting hit.


Flashbacks:
-----------
Interrogate enemies normally. If their words echoes, this indicates that you have 
unlocked a flashback. Replay the levels to unlock more of them. 


Sesame Street reference:
------------------------
If you choose to side with the Mafia at the slaughterhouse, when you get to a certain 
point you will hear two men. One will say "Damn they killed Ernie!" The other will say, 
"First Bert, now Ernie. We'll get those bastards." Bert and Ernie are the names of 
Sesame Street characters.


Style points:
-------------
If you get hit once by your enemies, your style points will be on your score, and it 
would not be good enough for a massive score. Always take your time. Do not rush into
every room because there is no time limit. If you are having difficulty shooting them,
try aiming for precise headshots to kill them instantly. Use interrogations first then
do the quick kill on them. Watch your back and keep an eye on enemy numbers. Be aware 
of where they are going to attack from and defeat multiple enemies without getting hit.


Unlockables:
------------
Get a gold medal rank on the indicated level to unlock the corresponding cheat in an 
apartment sub-menu. Note: You cannot progress in the game if any cheats are enabled.

Crazy Deaths        : Lucky's Bar
Gun Splitters       : Crack House 
Unlimited Ammo      : Pier 74 Revisited 
Invulnerability     : All levels 
No Reloads          : Stark Towers

Unlimited Slaughter : Takagi Building 


Central Zoo: The arch:
----------------------
Frank says that he must avoid the arch, otherwise he will get crushed. However, the
same goes for the enemy. Do not kill all of them. Once you get all the other Gnuccis
except for him, you should hear an explosion later. That the thug has actually been 
tricked by The Punisher.


Stark Towers: Helicopter battle:
--------------------------------
Pick up the anti-tank launcher and go back to where the white guard keeps appearing all 
the time. By doing this, you should not be in the line of the Yakuza snipers on top of 
the platform, which is above you. Shoot the helicopter from there. Aim for the men inside
the chopper and keep using rockets on it. The rocket man can only hit you if you are 
closer to him. He cannot damage distant targets. This makes it difficult for the commandos
to target you. If you need ammunition, return to the unlimited ammunition cache, However, 
you can get more ammunition for the rocket launcher if it is low.


Captain American and Sunfire reference:
---------------------------------------
In the Takagi Building, after you interrogate a member of the Eternal Sun he runs into 
the bathroom to distract Yasuke. He then asks Yasuke who would win in a fight between 
Captain America and Captain Japan. Yasuke says that there is no Captain Japan, that his
name is Sunfire, and that Sunfire would probably win. Captain America is from the Captain
America/Avengers comics and Sunfire is from the X-Men comics.


Half-Life reference:
--------------------
At the beginning of the Stark Towers level when the Yakuza start their attack, the 
scientists working behind the glass talk about an interdimensional portal, and one 
refers to the other as Doctor Freeman. Gordon Freeman is the main character in the 
popular Half-Life game series by Valve Software.


Daredevil references:
---------------------
When in Lucky's bar, two men will be talking. One asks "Who do you think would win
in a fight between Daredevil and Sonny Corleone?" The other one will say, "You idiot.
Daredevil's a comic book character." Daredevil comics were made by the same company 
that made The Punisher comics. The irony is that later Punisher's lawyer is Matt 
Murdoch (the real life identity of Daredevil). Also, later two Yakuza will be talking
about Daredevil talking on one hundred of their men hopped up on some drugs.
After the battle with Bullseye, Frank's blind lawyer Matt Murdock (Daredevil's alter 
ego.) comes in and Frank fires him.


Writer reference:
-----------------
The first guard you encounter in Ryker's will be held up by a prisoner. The prisoner 
refers to him by the name "Dixon". He is named after Chuck Dixon, a writer for the 
Punisher comics, Daredevil comics, and Marvel Knights comics.


Easy style points:
------------------

To score style points, do not get hit by enemy. Use the following tips to score style 
points without getting hit to get a high score. 

* If the score was not high enough to get concept art, bronze, silver, or gold medals, 
  go to the statistics screen. There will be three skulls of bronze, silver, and gold. 
  The number of style points you must earn is next to the color. Replay the levels and 
  keep practicing until you get the score needed to access the cheats and unlockables.

* If you mix it all up, you can get to higher score totals. You can use interrogations 
  mixed with quick kills, special interrogations and special kills, knockout kills and 
  interrogations, and melee weapon kills. You should get a higher total.

* If you grab an enemy, interrogate him and spare him. Then, use him as a human shield 
  and shoot enemies to not get hit. You can get a good score. 

* After interrogating an enemy, try getting him to a position near an explosive barrel.
  Shoot it at close range. It will take your enemy out, and you will get a huge points 
  increase. 

* You must get five successful kills or interrogations to get higher score totals. Try 
  to remove all enemies before attempting an interrogation, as they always shoot on 
  sight.


Defeating the Russian on the island:
------------------------------------
When you get off of the gondola, take a right into the shed. Do not go to the launch 
pad yet. Get the ammunition for the sniper rifle. Leave the shed and make a right to 
the steps to the missile launch pad. Walk up the steps and the Russian will say "We 
have to stop meeting like this, Big Boy!". He will stay on the catwalk above, throwing
flaming barrels at you. Shooting him is useless. Watch the Russian through your more 
precise aiming (it is easier this way). When he lifts a barrel, he will walk a little
way, lift it above his head, and it will catch fire. Shoot the barrel while it is on 
fire before he throws it at you. It will explode in his face. After two or three 
explosions, guards will begin to appear from the right and left sides of the map. 
Take them out if they give you a problem, however try to focus on the Russian. After
the Russian's life gets half-way down, an intermission sequence featuring him catching
ablaze will play. He will then jump down and chase after you. Get him to chase you 
into the piles of barrels scattered in the corners of the map. There is one barrel 
in each pile that will light (usually the brightest one). Get the Russian to walk 
into the barrel and it will ignite. Then, shoot the barrel to blow it up on the Russian.
Be careful not to get too close or you will sustain damage. After about four to five 
explosions, he will be defeated. Note: If the Russian runs into a guard, the guard 
will also catch fire.


Larry and Tom:
--------------
In the Crackhouse level, in the dark living room with the two big windows just before 
you see Damage for the first time, there will be a door behind the couch. Do not 
approach it until you have killed everyone in the room. Also, make sure you do not go
through the doorway to the kitchen Shoot the men in there from a distance. Once they 
are all dead, walk up to the door behind the couch but do not open it. Stand outside 
and listen carefully. You will hear Larry and Tom from the beginning of the level 
talking about the Punisher. The dialogue is as follows.

Tom: "You see the look on the Punisher's face, Larry?"
Larry: "Man, he looked pissed."
Tom: "He always looks pissed like he bit into a shit burger."
Larry: "Hahaha! Hey, that reminds me, I need to take a dump."
Tom: "Save some for the Punisher, in case he's hungry!".

When you go inside, Tom will say "He's the one you want, not me!" then Larry will take
Tom hostage. You can then kill them both in one hit with the shotgun if aimed correctly.
The names Larry and Tom could also possibly be a reference to Tom and Jerry if reversed.
