The Punisher (PS2)

Well I can gladly say that I have recently played and completed yet another Marvel game, so it is with great pleasure that I sit here and share with you my experience of another wonderful ps2 delight...........The Punisher!

This made Frank Castle but a shell of a man with only revenge and hatred for all who choose to play on the wrong side of the law, he will punish them relentlessly ... more

The Punisher is a fantastic character to bring to the world of video games. His entire skill set revolves around killing thugs in violent and gruesome ways, which is exactly what sells in the world of games. In the past, games with the Punisher fell short of the mark.

Ah, The Punisher, the cruel, cruel game that follows the film and the Marvel Comic books. I only played the PC version, so don't blame me if I mention something that is not in the PS2 version, although that is unlikely. (PS. I have received a couple of comments to do with this review, and the differences between PS2 and the PC. I can assure anybody who reads this reveiw that the basic storyline and features should be the same, as both games follow the films and comics... the only difference is the controller types.
