The Punisher

OK we have all seen the movie, we have all read the comic books...now we all can step into the army of one that is Frank Castle AKA The Punisher. And what a punisher he is. The Game gives you a third person view of the carnival of carnage. Between tossing a crack-head out a window and feeding a Merc to a giant anaconda the delightful ways to dispatch an enemy is limitless. And with a vast arsenal of boner stiffing weapons at your disposal you'll spend hours dishing out the pain with dual weapons of your choice. The interrogation modes are priceless, between hovering a baddie above a shark to pulling your own Vinnie Jones by slamming a thug's head in a jeeps car door...my personal fav. The storyline is wonderful pitting you against enemies old and new. The Russian, Ma Gnucci, Bull's-eye...and a handful of superheroes alike...Iron man and Daredevil being a wonderful topping on the bloody sundae. Not to mention the special kills you encounter on various levels, one being sacrificing a poor old mobster on a Indian pillar, to throwing an enemy on a couple of power lines. And the interrogations modes give you something no other game offers...torturing of ones enemies. The white skulls indicate which enemy has something to spill, drag his happy ass over to a meat grinder and he'll give you his grandmother. Need to find extra ammo, why just dangle a baddies head over a piranha tank...after which you can give him a break...or well option b feed him to the piranhas...you know you wanna... so go ahead dunk his head in alllllllllll the way. Another layer of the cake is the environment, you can stab a criminal in the face with a crow bar, you can shoot a speaker loose and have it come tumbling on top of an unsuspecting baddies head, smash a TV over a bastards skull, drop a car on em...and of course toss the bastard off a high rise building. The challenge modes are impossible, from making your way through a level full of trigger happy Yakuzas with out taking damage...which took me eight painful hours and two controllers to do, To dispatching enemies in a section with out them firing one shot...oh that'll keep you in brute rages. But no good game is without its flaws. The enemy AI is that of a blind idiot. The levels are much like old side scrollers.... point A to Point B and try not to get killed. You'll find yourself touting a baddie around as a shield more than running around and enjoying the sights. All the really good killings are painted in a grainy black and white that takes away from the joy of killing. Not only that but your points are taken away if you decide to kill a scumbag after you have interrogated him...thats just wrong. And the one thing I really hate is the lack of hand to hand...sure killing a bunch of losers with shotguns and knifes is fun, but I want to kick a bastard when he's down, I wanna beat his brains into the floor with my fist, and please answer me why are the crowbars and bats and large wrenches a one time use thing, they should let you run around and have all the enemies enjoy a baseball bat to the temple, or a wrench to a spinal column. But nonetheless flaws aside...The Punisher is the big gulp for you blood-lust hounds out there. So gear up, ship out and let your road to punishment begin.

I have the movie for this and that was a great film, and now the game came out and that was good. To all of the Punisher fans that are out there, you should get this game that has a lot of punishment and lots of bad guys to kill. Thomas Jane is once again the punisher/Frank Castle who going to do his punishment on the next set of bad guys and he'll stop at nothing. You can do interrogations for lots of stuff and they are cool. This game should be known for the fans out there and should buy this game. It is too bad that I rented this game instead of buying it but I will try my best to get the game for good as I am one of the punisher fan and I want to do some punishment on the bad guys and become a hero in the game.

I give this a 9/10

Never happen. But I loved this game. The addition of other Marvel characters. Kind of annoying that you couldn't jump. And kind of funny that you couldn't open a locked door with a shotgun. But this game was great.

The Punisher movie was incredible, and the game stands by the film perfectly with Great Graphics, Great Storyline, Insane Gameplay, Fantastic Music, and content that expands from the movie making this game a must play in general.

The game starts off showing the punisher doing what he does best, killing lots and lots of people in some pretty cruel ways, but that's what makes him so awesome. If you don't already know this, the punisher is a BAD ASS, he goes around and kills people that break the law, yeah! He is caught and then put in jail and interviewed by a man and a woman, they make him explain all the events that led up to that night, and as he explains, you play the missions he is talking about.

Lets start off with the Gameplay, the most important part of any video game, ITS INCREDIBLE!, and very very addicting. You have a wide arsenal of weapons, and i mean a very wide arsenal, ranging from pistols to automatics, to flamethrowers to grenade launchers. You can duel wield most of your weapons as well. The Best part of the gameplay in this game, is the interrogations, there are soooo many ways you can interrogate your foes to make them tell you what you want to know. It can range from drilling their heads, to feeding them to sharks and snakes, or to just shooting them in the head. You can also run up to any foes and make a quick kill, using your knife or guns to kill them in some pretty awesome ways, and making quick kills NEVER gets boring.

The Graphics are flat outstanding for a 2004 video game, if this game came out today, the graphics wouldn't be nagged on too much.

The voice acting rocks and it's especially great having Thomas Jane doing the Punisher voice. The Rest of the sound is pretty smooth.

A lot of music is from the movie but that is just great, i love the music in the movie, and using that same music in the game made the game more entertaining for me.

The Storyline is based off of the movie, having Joan and Dave, and The Russian in it as well. It was a blast being able to play the Russian fight that is so awesome in the movie. And Besides from the movie's plot, the game expands and has ATON of extras, from going into the jungle, to an aquarium, and you get to play side by side with black widow, and Nick fury from S.H.E.I.L.D.

This is a great game that any action fan would definitely need to play

This video game presents the real Punisher, the one that should have been in the 2004 film, instead of Thomas Jane, and instead of bunch of other characters and developers who made that pu**yass film. In the film, we got Punisher who did less killing and more talking and blackmail on the villains and mafia. While, here voiced by Jane himself (he was great as a voice, dark and violent) Punisher is one mean, sick, cold blooded animal who will kill anyone who stands on his path, except of course innocent people. The plot is like a comic book, which is cool, characters... well most of them are not quite developed, except Punisher himself, Det Soap and Det. Molly, they were great. Previous characters, mostly villains are good, the evil dialogue makes them badass and somewhat irritating. Graphics are solid, not that great, action is pretty sick, there are more than 50, 60 ways to kill a guy, you can interrogate them, make them pi!! their pants if you like, that's cool. Everybody is afraid of Punisher here and I like it. The music is one bright spot here, it is great, composed by Timothy Wynn. This game is a perfect cure for all of those who loves good old violent Punisher, compared to the 2004 film. Thanks to this game, we got the good old vision of Punisher again. If you ask me... this game is better than other films as well.
