An Amazing Marvel Game
While this game does have a bit of lag in the controls it doesn't stop The Punisher from being a completely badass game with so much more to it than appears at it's surface. Players take control of Frank Castle, a vigilante out for revenge on all manners of "baddies" worthy of his particular form of justice.
The games controls can be a bit loose, especially with the jump/tuck'n'roll movement but other than that the controls are pretty solid and the graphics/movement are pretty smooth throughout. As would be expected Frank has an arsenal that rivals that of the Army and all of it can be used to deadly effect when the player gets a feel for how each unique weapon works. The levels are fairly large (from a linear game's standpoint) with plenty of cover and vantage points given in the terrain. The story feels almost puzzle pieced together jumping from one location/level to the next which almost makes the game more fun in it's own way. The interrogation technique is brutally fun and can help you rack up some killer points if used effectively. All in all this game seemed almost underground in that I was the only one of my group of friends that had it but anyone that saw it though it was damn cool. It's probably one of my favorite "comic book" games. It really doesn't pull any punches and that's what makes it so great.
