First things first. I’m not into shooting games. I suffer from motion-sickness, and shooting games don’t help the situation. But then again, I’m a fan of Marvel Comics, and even though I’ve always view The Punisher as some sort of a third-rated hero, it didn’t stop me from borrowing this from a colleague who simply can’t stop buying games that involve big guns. And how I regret.
I know I shouldn’t bother too much about the story. If you’ve read the comic, or even watch the dreadful movie from last year, you’d have know that the plot revolves around a revenge theme. Frank Castle’s family was gruesomely murdered by the bad guys, and he goes on the journey of showing them the meaning of pain. Basically, that’s it. Taking the role of Castle, you end up shooting a lot of bullets at a lot of people. Added with some interrogation scenes in between, and you get the most of this game.
To be fair, the gameplay is quite ok. Apart from shooting, you get to grab an enemy to act as a shield, and this takes the action a level higher. However, with the action coming in thick and fast, sometimes, you may just find yourself forgoing this luxury and go for the quick fix. This grabbing ability also allows you to interrogate the victim, which, if done correctly, could give you some valuable information. Of course, most enemies know nothing, so an interrogation will most probably result in a silly one-liner. Some enemies, however, will feed you important snippets. To make it easier for you, these enemies are identified with a skull over their head. Trust me, no matter how “easy” this could sound to you, it actually saves you a lot of time.
Your arsenal of weapons also increases over time. You begin with a customary pair of pistols, but soon enough, you’d see yourself handling items such as machine guns, rocket launchers, and hand grenades. Ultimately, however, the weapons are only as good as their user. The game provides an adequate targeting system, but if you can’t shoot properly, you can’t. Unfortunately, I’m one of those who can’t really shoot properly. Just ask my Army Instructor.
Graphics wise, the game scores ok. It has some specific animations, which look good the first few times, but quickly become old. It’s also strange that for a game rated M, the killing sequences seem a little over-filtered. The camera angle automatically zooms out, and the screen becomes black and white when you decide to finish off some poor chap. Now, I’m not into violence, and I’m certainly not a supporter of violence in games. Yes, I know Kill Bill Vol. 1 has a similar b/w segment when The Bride walloped the Crazy 88s. But hey, that was “artistic”. This is a bloody game for Christ’s sake. Just show us the blood.
Audios wise, The Punisher feature a large amount of voice acting. It’s an average effort at best, though, since the dialogue are mostly cheesy. The SFX are disappointing, due to poorly positioned, or even missing sounds. Surely, when someone is shooting at you from distance, you’d expect to hear some firing sound? I mean, even when I’m typing this, I can hear the keyboard tapping.
As a result of some of these issues, The Punisher may not be the most value for money. It’s at best an average shooting game that has a slightly higher profile due to its Marvel Comics connections. Perhaps I’m a little harsh, but you may want to rent this game before deciding whether you want to add it to your collection.

When i first started out with this game i thought it was going to suck but the more i played it the more addicted i got! it’s has some awesome kill’s. A great story line and of course a lethal amount of Punish ment! This game is deff a 5 star game, And you can buy it on here for less than ten dollars. Well worth the price of admission.

This game is awesome. I had it for X-box before I lost it in a fire, and I had to get it back. As a huge Punisher fan, it’s a must for anyone out there like me who’s always loved the big white skull.
Awesome fact – the “flashbacks” are all from the comic “Punisher:Born” Or at least all I’ve seen thus far are. Waht a great tie in. If you’re interested, the Born collection is availiable on Amazon (where I got it) and it’s an awesome read. It’s truly where the Punisher is born, in Vietnam as a hardcore, ruthless, but fair Marine Captain. IT really puts what Frank Castle became into perspective.
Gameplay is amazing, but switching from X-box to PS2 format has been tough, as it always is.
The environments are awesome. For those who are thinking about buying it, the interrogations are awesome, but you have to be careful not to push to hard. Look for the white and gold skulls that marks the board. You cna use a wide variety of the environment to interrogate people you grab. Downside – don’t kill them in interrogation mode, even the special ones, as cool as the bad guys’ endings are, or you lose bonus points that go to much needed upgrades. This is the one thing I don’t like about the game – you should kepp or gain points for using special interrogations to kill the bad guys.
When you go around, you cna max points by interrogating, or quick killing everyone. Be sure to get used to using cover and human shields (an awesome part of the game).
I love going through the levels and just flat out playing “Castle” on the bad guys – being merciless and ruthless. After I release a guy that helps me, and he does what he says, I wait until it’s over, and then I go back and kill that guy who weazled out of death. Heck, that is what the punisher is, isn’t it?
Just be experimental. The more people you interrogate, the more flashbacks you find. Some levels have two or three. And make sure you get those points up for upgrades such as silencer attachments, grenade launcher attachments, body armor, and even kill recovery. Good stuff.
This is a must for any Punisher fan. You actually get to BE the man himself!
