Just image you're a soldier in 'nam and then you hear a guy in a mask say "Dammit, out of ammo, wait is that a tank?" He then jumps out, dodges every bullet and picks up the tank just to casualy trow it at charlies
My favorite part about this game is Frank’s cheesy one liners every time he finishes an interrogation lol Thug: Let me go, I just got married! *Frank experiences PTSD over his dead wife and shoots him in the face* Frank: Honeymoon’s over
Man, that Spider-Nam story would be soo freaking awesome! Imagine in as in introduction to the story going "As the war escalates, the U.S. purposed a plan where anyone who is an Avenger, Mutant, Mythical, or a skilled vigilante is drafted in anyway like it or not."
I have a story I've been planning to write for a bit of a while about superheroes fighting the Vietcong, all of them coming from different nations and led by a South Vietnamese superhero who calls himself Captain Vietnam (After Captain America).
Great stuff as always! Really loved the CG bit-jealous of your capabilities there! Like I told you on Twitter, I feel Volition was just aping Max Payne, but it still worked really well. And of course, Max’s story is basically Frank’s, but he’s a cop. Oh, and I think I liked the villain reveal at the end more than you-thought it was clever. That character has never really been all that special, to be honest, so I don’t mind a change in the origin story. Though it also doesn’t make sense that the Russian is in it if this is even pretending to be movie continuity.
A fun little fact about Saints Row 3 is that Volition put in one of the Punisher newspapers as an Easter Egg. Sadly it had to be removed in a patch since the studio no longer had the rights to the character. P.S. it’s always great to see another Godzilla UA-camr ;)
And scrubz animate does another good comedy skit. Seriously the animation movements are so smooth and fluent! The review itself was also good my favorite part was the live action moment of you cosplaying as punisher
YES! I’ve been looking forward to this review. I always really appreciate the amount of work and editing you out into your reviews and videos. The wait is always worth it. 👍🏻

I played this game so much. My PS2 controller was broken and the sticks would just occasionally bug the fuck out. I was interrogating a guy with the drill press interaction in that one chop shop mission and in the middle of telling what I interogated him for my stick bugged out and I violently jammed the drill into his face. I was laughing so hard when that happened, it's one of those videogame memories that stick with you forever.
I played it during my high school days, and was surprised by how good this game was. It's not until 2021, I discovered that Garth Ennis was also behind the project, so I had an "Ahaaaah..." moment. No wonder why it kicked so much ass.
The armory comic is very much akin to the armory books released for The Executioner/Mack Bolan series (which Punisher was very much a copy of). Pretty cool.
God dang it! i love meet some guilty pleasures of mine like The Punisher! this is definitely the review i needed in order to know other Punisher games besides the great Punisher arcade game by Capcom. great review man and screw you UA-cam for not only demonitizing but also for suspending my original account for no clear reason.
I would love for socially inept Spiderman to become a series lmao. It's a really fun way to learn about obscure aspects of marvel lore. Also I think you'd make a great voice actor for Spiderman in an official series.
I hope that later along the line you'll upload a punisher cosplay video because last time you did a live action recording for the spider-verse video it ended up being apart of the scarlet-spider/ Miles Morales cosplay video. this was a great video Xavier. good job
This is one of my fav PS2 games. Completed it a dozen times. I realised on the mission in Stark Tower when you fight the helicopter it just floats there waiting to be finished but endless amount of enemies keep coming from the corridor so you can just pick them off one at a time and stack up loads of points. I think I done that for two hours lol.
I come back to a handful of Xavier’s older stuff every once in awhile, even though I’ve seen it before this video and the Ultimate Alliance one are such good classics imo
I believe this video game and the 2004 movie got the Punisher right in my opinion. Those are my favorite version of The Punisher and they are both play by the same actor.
Just replayed this for the 500th time and am now rewatching this for the 500th time. Nostalgia aside, this game holds up way better than it should (almost 20 years later!) and I would pay full price for a Resident Evil-level remake.
You know the one thing that surprised me about enniss’ run on punisher was the up is down and Black is white scene where punisher sleeps with O’Brien. I mean, it was a neat little callback to the second story arc from the MAX run where she constantly drools over him but I always thought the punisher was really so faithful to his dead wife that sleeping with anyone else was never something he cared to do. I don’t hate it because it leads to a pretty brutal fight scene involving the sister of a mobster frank fought.
This game got me into comic books. I first played this game at my stepbrothers house. I went out and bought the 2004 movie and loved it. Then a few years down the line I saw a Punisher comic and read it. Now he's my favorite comic book character of all time and I've read a majority of his standalone stuff and a lot of his appearances as well.

Oh jeez, I WISH I could animate that well, but it was done by my friend William, who goes by the name Scrubz_Animate. You can check out his twitter in the description and soon he'll probably start posting animations on his own channel. He's a super talented guy
Volition recently spoke about this game and even showed off footage for Punisher 2 that they were working on. It was gonna be open world, but ultimately was cancelled, alot of it was retooled and used in the saints row series which is why theres some similiar animations.
If they made a sequel for this game, the Kingpin is the main antagonist since the post credits, it would've brought more bad guys from the MAX/616 comics, such as: Barracuda, Nicky Cavella, Pittsy, Ink, Agent Rawlins, and Hammerhead
Spiderman carrying grenade launcher in Vietnam
I have now seen what could possibly be the most badass thing to never exist

Say ur captured u look up and ur on a web and them Spider-Man comes out with a gun and a bat

We need to create a petition to have Xavier play a socially awkward spider-man cameo in the next Venom movie
U were too late
Every 2 years there shall be a comment
@@leik7728 not too late for the third movie
It would fit better in spider verse
Man, that Spider-Nam story would be soo freaking awesome! Imagine in as in introduction to the story going "As the war escalates, the U.S. purposed a plan where anyone who is an Avenger, Mutant, Mythical, or a skilled vigilante is drafted in anyway like it or not."

I would like it to be an alt universe.
Thor: bitch please
I love the bit with spiderman near the end: "my not-wife and three non canon daughters". Shows just how convoluted the continuity is.
Those Spider-Man animations are always hilarious, and the animation keeps getting better and better. Love your videos. Keep up the good work
Never stop with the socially challenged Spider-Man
It’s the socially inept Spiderman not socially challenged Spiderman
You need to voice spiderman in a cartoon or game that was perfect
Nuclear crisis diverted:
No use of bad words.

"It's coming on Friday"
lied Xavier
"It's coming around Halloween"
lied Xavier
Adish Syed Xavier the liar, strikes again
GodzillaMendoza I didnt know you were related Woolie
Uncle Woolie taught me how to steal pies, kill people in football, and lie all the time.
@@GodzillaMendoza make a video on Spider-Nam
Notice Xavier’s non use of any swear words.
Dogfacedog he said he wouldn’t do it on Twitter to “Please” UA-cam.
Dogfacedog luke cage threatened to make him put money in the swear jar and he can't afford for that to happen
Hey Jacob
Big fan
I am Xavier's refusal to utter profanity.
A fun little fact about Saints Row 3 is that Volition put in one of the Punisher newspapers as an Easter Egg. Sadly it had to be removed in a patch since the studio no longer had the rights to the character. P.S. it’s always great to see another Godzilla UA-camr ;)
And scrubz animate does another good comedy skit. Seriously the animation movements are so smooth and fluent!
The review itself was also good my favorite part was the live action moment of you cosplaying as punisher
Ma Gnucci was pretty disappointing in this game, I wish we got to fight her in the Central Park Zoo’s polar bear exhibit like in Welcome Back Frank
Flame of Udun i wish she fight but she stands there wish to be throw by the punisher

One of three you mean
Wolverine killed everyone too that one time
I will now call shotguns "boom sticks"
Mr_Quacker55 Watch Army Of Darkness.

That's been a thing for decades. Like the people above me stated, Ash Williams has been saying it since the Evil Dead trilogy.
Always a good day when Xavier uploads, even when you’re sick.

YES! I’ve been looking forward to this review. I always really appreciate the amount of work and editing you out into your reviews and videos. The wait is always worth it. 👍🏻
You know it's gonna be a good day when Godzilla Mendoza uploads a video.
Great review, both informative and funny! I bought and read all the Punisher: Armory comics based on your recommendation!
Oh god I think this might be one of my favourite videos of yours now, also that punisher costume is 👌
I wished we had a sequel to the game, with Thomas Jane voicing again, because his voice work for the game was just perfect.
I remember one of the flash backs where the criminal goes "I got a family"
And Frank replies "so did i"
Remember the time Castle was killing angels.
Also he's not the punisher he's the Finisher.
dragon stare24 Both Finisher and Punisher debuted in Spider hyphen man

"15/10 basically call of duty"
*thinks about punisher no mercy*
WHY!
for bringing this piece of master piece back, I salute you sir! I loved this game af
"I'll just call him Chuck" was genuinely pretty great
I never thought the makers of Saints Row made the most violent marvel game right next to Wolverine.
They wanted make part 2 but all screw up by writers for second punisher movie...
I always thought the Stark Tower mission was fun (they even used the same Iron Man voice actor from the first Ultimate Alliance game
0:30 quote from the MAX story in the beginning.
Edit: Frankenstein bit not included
There was supposed to be a sequel to this game that would have Deadpool as a boss.
The fun thing about the newspaper articles is that they are developer notes that show many other mechanics they wanted to try and implement .
the 'anti-living equipment' made me laugh
Xavier i remember when your channel had 100 subs. Now look at you, 38k keep it up bro!
Not gonna lie the animation was perfect
I played this game so much. My PS2 controller was broken and the sticks would just occasionally bug the fuck out.

Great vid man, u will always be my favorite of all time
“You think this is a game?!”
-“You lose” *pulls trigger
You got my support for Spider-Nam. I'd legit buy that, and probably read it more than once. I don't do that often.
Hearing Moderat was a big surprise for me. Seen them live last summer, amazing.
13:21 this clip is canon and nobody tell me otherwise.
You said FRIDAY!
But I don’t mind waiting a few hours for amazing free content.
I played it during my high school days, and was surprised by how good this game was. It's not until 2021, I discovered that Garth Ennis was also behind the project, so I had an "Ahaaaah..." moment. No wonder why it kicked so much ass.
The armory comic is very much akin to the armory books released for The Executioner/Mack Bolan series (which Punisher was very much a copy of). Pretty cool.
I wonder if that Spider-Nam thing was an idea that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko had the 60s to make a propaganda comic where Spider-Man goes to Vietnam?
God dang it! i love meet some guilty pleasures of mine like The Punisher! this is definitely the review i needed in order to know other Punisher games besides the great Punisher arcade game by Capcom. great review man and screw you UA-cam for not only demonitizing but also for suspending my original account for no clear reason.
I would love for socially inept Spiderman to become a series lmao. It's a really fun way to learn about obscure aspects of marvel lore. Also I think you'd make a great voice actor for Spiderman in an official series.
I'll be honest, every time i see the animations where you voice spideman, its always great 100% of the time
When Xavier predicted the Boys before it became a show.
I’m still super ready for the second part of the hulk retrospective if that’s still happening LOL
Michael Chu he said in the spiderman 3 livestream that its coming after this (punisher) review
I hope that later along the line you'll upload a punisher cosplay video because last time you did a live action recording for the spider-verse video it ended up being apart of the scarlet-spider/ Miles Morales cosplay video. this was a great video Xavier. good job
Man this vid was unexpected I LOVE THE UNEXPECTED
your an awesome person for that Spider-nam shoutout you know that?
2 questions: Do you like Ghost Rider and Did you ever play the video game, I think it is prime material for your channel
Man, I would love to see a review of that
First Time ever watching a video from this guy and I already LOVE IT!!! I love the parts were he says "what was I talking about... oh ya"
"Anti-Living Equipment", looks like I've found my new name for weapons
This is one of my fav PS2 games. Completed it a dozen times. I realised on the mission in Stark Tower when you fight the helicopter it just floats there waiting to be finished but endless amount of enemies keep coming from the corridor so you can just pick them off one at a time and stack up loads of points. I think I done that for two hours lol.
I come back to a handful of Xavier’s older stuff every once in awhile, even though I’ve seen it before this video and the Ultimate Alliance one are such good classics imo
Same
I keep coming back to this thinking I haven’t watched it
I believe this video game and the 2004 movie got the Punisher right in my opinion. Those are my favorite version of The Punisher and they are both play by the same actor.
I respect your encyclopedic knowledge of all and anything comics.
That skit with Spidey and Castle was AMAZING.
Never disappointed with what I see that’s uploaded
Just replayed this for the 500th time and am now rewatching this for the 500th time. Nostalgia aside, this game holds up way better than it should (almost 20 years later!) and I would pay full price for a Resident Evil-level remake.

Great review! And btw, don't feel bad about those movie and TV people who lost their jobs - they can learn to code!
I NEED MORE REVIEWS AND MEMES, why can I subscribe twice
Thomas jane will always be punisher in my eyes. Anytime i read the comics i hear his voice
"bullseye huh?", love that scene in the movie! (7:06)
Punisher, huh, whatever, I am the Punisher Squad
who else paused it just to see the picture where it says "the socially inept spiderman in... walk in the park
team toaster me...it took some time
it took me two or three tries
There's not a week that goes by where I don't listen to a new error.
Really good vid Mendoza!
I feel like Xavier’s Spider-Man personality better fits Deadpool than Spider-Man...
Only americans to really make a comic with just weapons descriptions
Fun for the whole... oh wait... Great review Xavier!
I like how you use the Dark Knight Rises Batman belt for your Punisher cosplay Xavier.
The writer for The Boys won't for The Punisher? That makes way too much sense.
Good shit man, can't believd just how influential this game was
Fun for the whole family………………..except for Frank’s
This game got me into comic books. I first played this game at my stepbrothers house. I went out and bought the 2004 movie and loved it. Then a few years down the line I saw a Punisher comic and read it. Now he's my favorite comic book character of all time and I've read a majority of his standalone stuff and a lot of his appearances as well.
If you're playing this game for the Boss Fights ... you're kinda Missing The Point.
I have re-played this game for YEARS. So much fun.
Punisher mode is fun, too bad my game stop working when i try choice different map...
Spider-Man: Dead Uncle Simulator

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Man I want to play this so fucking bad. I adore Punisher. Great review Xavier.
GodzillaMendoza Spidey voice > Drake Bell. Your SFM animation skills are also phenomenal I must add.
Oh jeez, I WISH I could animate that well, but it was done by my friend William, who goes by the name Scrubz_Animate. You can check out his twitter in the description and soon he'll probably start posting animations on his own channel. He's a super talented guy
We finally got the review we deserved for this game
Best game from my childhood
Volition recently spoke about this game and even showed off footage for Punisher 2 that they were working on. It was gonna be open world, but ultimately was cancelled, alot of it was retooled and used in the saints row series which is why theres some similiar animations.
Was literally just thinking to myself, "I wonder if Xavier will do a review of that punisher game"
I love it was voiced by Thomas Jane. Especially since the movie’s flaws weren’t his fault proof is Dirty Laundry
12:56 is why I keep coming back to this video
Did anyone notice how Xavier avoided saying "gun" throughout this whole review?
YES FINALLY THANK YOU
If they made a sequel for this game, the Kingpin is the main antagonist since the post credits, it would've brought more bad guys from the MAX/616 comics, such as: Barracuda, Nicky Cavella, Pittsy, Ink, Agent Rawlins, and Hammerhead
They should have added when Wolverine made a funny comment about Frank's stash of naked men magazines
But Shadow the Hedgehog,invented the "MARIA" meme
