No Purchase or No Mercy?
When I saw screenshots of this game, I was amazed for the time being. The graphics looked decent and the level design and lighting looked good. However, I was worried about gameplay.
The gameplay started out, for me, as addictive and fun. But after the course of the offline/co-op campaign I started feeling less excited about the overall feel of the game. It's not bad in a sense it's un-playable. It's that the definition of the actual fun factor wears off after playing it for a course of hours.
The weapon unlocks are neat, but they don't really deliver any WOW, that was worth it feel. Except maybe the EXPLOSIVE type weapons, MGL etc... They had quite a few that you were rewarded with but not a lot of Damage variety in the smaller firearms, AK-47/M4A1 etc... The attachments earned through the course of the multi-player by pickups and killing people is rewarding however.
The characters you can unlock is a nice feature, and they have plenty of costumes for each one. Giving you some Diversity.
Awhile back, they released a PATCH for the game which cleared up the laggy multi-player & gave you a NEW CHARACTER named Carlos Cruz, the so-called NEW Punisher. It's a nice little bonus, but after all this time it's too little to late because most have left this game to play other games. And the fact that little to late TLC was delivered it's killed the game off very early.
I was looking forward to playing this game for quite sometime and the fact that there has been no Map pack (add-on's) is quite sad. This game had a lot of potential to be a very fun shooter.
I'll leave you with the above. It's not a bad game to kill time and mess around on. But because of the lack of labor... It's a game you won't put in countless hours on.
