Pretty much a straight foward third person shooter...
User Rating: 8.4 | The Punisher PS2
This game is probably the definition of a third person shooter. This game is linear, shoot that guy, interrogate that one, thats really the formula you'll follow through out the game. But thats not saying its not fun, this game is really fun and addictive. You'll find your self playing through it and you'll be having a blast, but by the middle of the game the formula wears tiresome. It does have an upgrade system, which lets you upgrade your weapons and body armor, if you have enough points. Which is nice, and theres a lot of cool weapons, and numerous quick kills. It also features an interrogation system, you can grab anyone and interrogate them. The only people who actually hold information though are the guys with the white skulls above their heads. So you can either put a gun to their face, smash there face in the ground, choke them, or punch them. Then you have special interrogations, which are from the enviroment, which vary from sticking a guys face into a pool of piranhas, or smashing his face with a jeep door. It works pretty well but its really easy, just keep the pressure in the yellow line for three seconds. They usually tell you were weapons are or they help distract gaurds, nothing really important. The game is pretty good, but the difficulty level in the beggining is too easy, i didnt die till the tenth level. But soon it gets too hard where i find myself constantly dying. But atleast you have a good checkpoint system. Moving onto graphics, the character models are pretty average, and they repeat...a lot. The enviroments are extremley bland, and only broken up by some special interrogations. Aside from a few problems, this game is still fun and straight forward. And for only 20 dollars its a good buy.
