The Punisher is a 2005 action game which stars the Marvel
Comics antihero, The Punisher. After his family was murdered by the mafia,
Frank Castle devoted his life to the punishment of criminals. Players take
control of the vigilante hero to track down criminals and kill them. The game's
story is a loose mixture of the 2004 film, as well as the 2000 mini-series,
Welcome Back, Frank.
The Punisher is not a particularly complex game. Each of the
16 missions features the same basic concept: Go from point A to point B and
kill every single thing in your path. You can heft two weapons, crouch to gain
some protection, and nab bad guys to use as body armor while unleashing a hail
of bullets on his buddies. If that's all there was to The Punisher, this would
be a pretty mediocre effort. Fortunately, Volition was committed to showing the
brutal nature of the Punisher.
Fueled by the murder of his family, Frank
Castle, AKA The Punisher, sets out on a mission to clean up the crime filled
streets in one of the most gripping storylines to hit the videogame market. The
ingenious writings of Punisher creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Garth Ennis
combined with Volition Inc.'s visual interpretation gives players an
opportunity to step into the vengeful shoes of The Punisher. An innovative
interrogation system allows gamers direct control over the amount of punishment
enemies receive before releasing important information. With more than 100
unique kills, let the punishment begin.
