Since then he's fought to punish any who use violence for Personal gain, without caring who gets in the way.

Best Comic Book Game!!!

This game is the best comic to video game I've ever played. There's so much you can do and it stays true to the character. For fans of the punisher the story is a cross between welcome back frank and a little bit of the movie. Aside from story mode there is plenty to do at the punishers HQ, which will very satisfy anyone whether your a fan of the character or not. To end this I say anyone whose looking for a fun and violent game, this is the right place.

A Game Based on Inflicting Pain

Based on a classic comic book anti-hero, The Punisher is a decidedly mature title in which a vigilante takes on most of New York City. Be prepared for lots of torture and swearing.

If you know the Punisher comic book series, you know what you're in for. This guy loves to hurt "bad guys" - and anybody he considers a bad guy is fair game. The number of ways in which you can kill your enemies is astounding. You run through a crack house and shoot people in the crotch, in the head, all the while saying "It sucks to be them". The women are trying to sleep with you while you save them. The druggies are claiming you're a mirage.

Every new level offers roaches scuttling across the floor, innocents who you bypass as relatively meaningless, and bad guys who you kill with cold detachment in extremely gruesome ways. You roast them in the fire. You boil them in oil. You slash them with glass. It's all in the name of "progress" - you supposedly are getting information out of them. However, there is no empathy at all. Because your family died, you now are able to kill every other human you run across without much feeling.

There's some wry humor in here, as in when people call out "Hey, it's that finisher dude". There's also incredibly nasty violence if you choose to push someone past their limit. I suppose it's all in your hands - but it's really nasty that they have some options in here.

The graphics are good in a comic booky way. There is a good balance between realistic movements and a smooth animated flow. I do have to comment that his normal "walk" is a bit slow and melodramatic. The audio is well done, with a deadpan main actor and the usual collection of druggies, hookers and other sleazes as people to talk to. There usually isn't much 'background noise' - the screams and pleas of your victims are the soundtrack here.

While this is in general a well done shooter, I admit that I'm not very comfortable with a vigilante running around deliberately causing as much pain as he can to people. If anybody knows what great pain can drive someone to do, it would be him. If someone happens to fall into drugs, I'm not sure that they deserve a window pane to the neck as a "punishment" for that, or that millions of game players out for rest and relaxation should find enjoyment in repeatedly performing that pain-inflicting action.

Best Comic Based Videogame Ever!

This isn't justice; this is punishment, and quite possibly the best videogame based on a comic book made to date. I've played a lot of great super-hero games but this is the king of the mountain. This isn't a game for children, adult's only please, becasue anyone familiar with Marvels line of Punisher MAX comic books will understand why. The badguys in this game drop more F-bombs than Tony Soprano, and there is at least as much blood spilled as in any Mortal Kombat title. The game has a great storyline because it's partially based on the MAX comics, and it also contains appearances by Nick Fury, Matt Murdock (Daredevil), Black Widow, Kingpin, Jigsaw, Bushwacker, Iron Man, and Bullseye. The enemies you encounter range from crack dealers to Russian mercenaries, and the surroundings differ from a funeral parlor to Rykers Island Prison.
This is basically, at it's core, your typical shoot-em up, take no prisoners game; however, it's a whole lot more. The interogations of enemies is the real gem in this title and make agent Jack Bauer look like a boyscout. When pumping enemies for information you can pull them torward special skull icons to initiate special interrogations. These are my personal fave: sticking a dude in a woodchipper, sticking a dude in a crematory and cranking the heat, and holding a guy against a rhinosaures's cage so he can get the point. I can't wait for the sequal to this game (I hope there is a sequal), because this is the most played game in my stack. "Every muzzle flash is another monster gone."-Frank Castle aka Punisher

GLEEFULLY VIOLENT AND ENTERTAINING 8.25 OUT OF 10

The Punisher feels really quite fresh in comparison to what I've played lately when it comes to shooters. The game is basically about a guy named Frank Castle who basically goes about the streets getting rid of crime by means of guns and torture. This game is a third-person action title, and it has a wonderful Manhunt-style when it comes to gruesome killing methods during interrogations for enemies you capture. Here's some examples of what I did in the game; held a guy's head under a drill press and killed him with it when he couldn't give me any useful info, pushed a guy over railing, to the ground below, and then he got crushed in a hydraulic press, kidnapped an enemy in the bathroom, slammed his head against the toilet and drowned him it, held a guy over a pyranha tank and fed him to them, and fed a guy to a wood chipper. That is only some of the things you get to do in this gleefully violent and disturbing game. Some things plague this game from reaching further heights however. An antsy camera during some sequences and enemy AI needs work. It's really no surprise this game is fun considering Volition made Saint's Row, another really fun game. If you're tired of Halo and whatever else you've got when it comes to shooters, The Punisher is the perfect refreshing game for you.
