The Punisher ROM Description
The Punisher – third-person shooter developed by Volition, published by THQ, and released on PS2 and Xbox in January 2005.
Punisher is a superhero from Marvel comics, a man whose wife and two children were killed by gangsters. From then on, he decided to personally punish and destroy all criminals in New York.
It opens with Punisher destroying a group of Yakuza henchmen and is soon captured. The game’s plot is told in flashbacks as two police detectives question protagonist Frank Castle about his recent activities.
The Punisher is essentially a bloody action game, but the interrogation mechanic breaks it up a bit. It works like this: Occasionally, you’ll get a prompt to interrogate criminals for more information. Sometimes just holding a gun to their head, sometimes hanging them from a cliff, and sometimes dunking their head in a piranha tank. You must use the stick to slowly pressure them so that they are scared enough to reveal the necessary information, but if you are not careful, you will kill them.
In addition to the standard shooting, the kill mode is a skill that runs on an energy bar, and when this mode is activated, everything turns black and white. At this time, Frank Castle pulled out two knives and went on a killing spree. So it’s an excellent way to clear a room quickly when needed. Everything is bloody and chaotic, but you must do everything perfectly.
Adding to the replay value are the upgrades and weapon arsenal. With points earned from killing enemies and completing missions, you can purchase upgrades for armor, accuracy, ammo capacity, and more. And when weapons are picked up in the campaign, they will be added to the arsenal. You can also edit your equipment before each mission.
Overall, The Punisher is well-made in terms of gameplay, story, and features. It’s not quite a gem on the PS2 system, but it’s good enough to make it worth playing.
