User Rating: 9 | The Punisher PS2
While receiving mediocre reviews from GameSpot, I found “The Punisher” to be very enjoyable. I’ve been a fan of the Punisher comics since the late 80s, and found “The Punisher” game to stand out among the other Punisher games that have been made in the past.

The storyline is enjoyable, and follows a natural progression, as if you were playing a comic book. While at its heart it is a “shooter,” the ability to interrogate subjects, and perform quick-kills adds some variety. Of course the Punisher has a sizeable armory of weapons, and the ability to take firearms off of enemy dead ensures the Punisher won’t be out of ammo for long if he runs out.

Perhaps my favorite part of the game is the ability to upgrade both the Punisher as well as his weapons with body armor, increased ammo capacity, silencers, etc. I have found a tremendous replay value in this game, as levels can be replayed in order to improve one’s performance, and earn more points towards upgrades.

I recommend this game to any fan of the Punisher comics or films.
