    The Punisher is a third-person shooter video game developed by Volition and released by THQ in 2005 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Microsoft Windows; a mobile phone game was also developed by Amplified Games. The game stars the Marvel Comics antihero, The Punisher. After his family was murdered by the Mafia, Frank Castle devoted his life to the punishment of criminals. Players take control of the titular ruthless vigilante to track down criminals and kill them.
    The game's story is a loose mixture of the 2004 film, as well as the Vol. 4 (2000) and Vol. 5 (2001) of the comic books. Actor Thomas Jane reprises his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher. The game features many cameo appearances from Marvel Comics characters, such as Iron Man, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Matt Murdock (the alter ego of Daredevil), Bushwacker, The Kingpin and Bullseye. Also present are several characters from the Welcome Back, Frank storyline such as detectives Martin Soap and Molly Van Richtofen, the Punisher's neighbors Joan and Spacker Dave, Ma Gnucci, The Russian and General Kreigkopf.

      Is it because Disney bought marvel?
      Netflix got the rights on the daredevil universe, that includes the punisher, lol

    Fat people taking more damage before dying is actually accurate. In an issue of The Punisher Warzone, Frank had a shootout in a morgue with a hood. Frank picked up a fat cadaver to use as a body shield, and the hood picked up a skinny one. The bullets passed right through the skinny cadaver and Frank's reply was, "And that's why you never hide behind a skinny guy."
    So the mechanic IS canon.

      I felt like it was more Punisher War Journal inspired. The inner monologue Frank has, his armory descriptions were very reminiscent.

  • @Jetoceanic02
    @Jetoceanic02 6 років тому +207

    Those flashbacks are the only collectibles in this game (I think) , also Frank has different replies to them, for example if you get the "I'll go straight, I promise!" flashback and you decide to kill the guy Frank will say "Bones, promises, both break." BUT if you knock the guy out (yes you can do that by pressing N when you are holding them as human shields) Frank will say "Keep that promise."

      I know that sometimes Frank has multiple replies for the same flashbacks. For instance, when the one that says “You’re gonna burn in Hell”, as Frank does the execution, I’ve heard him say “I’ve been there, and now I’m back.” And I’ve heard him also say “You first.”

    Part of the epic enjoyment for me at the time was that I was still riding the high of the Tom Jane Punisher movie that year... and the fact that he voiced him in the game(to seasoned perfection) made it feel like some kind of sequel spawn of the movie and comics.

  • @madphantom92

    • @madphantom92
      @madphantom92 6 років тому +22

      Hairless Sasquatch This game redeems Tom Jane because he voices the character. Besides he didn't have the power to say no and the film budget was only 22 million which is low budget. Jon Bernthal to me feels like a soldier trying to be a tough guy who always screams for no reason.

    8:10 The fact that fat guys can take more bullets than their less rotund mates is a reference to a bit at the start of "Welcome Back Frank", Garth Ennis's first run of the character.
    During a battle in a morgue, both Frank and a mafia gunman grab corpses to use as human shields, and Frank monologues that it's wise to stand behind fat guys in a firefight. He demonstrates this by using an obese body to soak several bullets then kill the gunman by shooting right through the thin body he is using for cover.
    Yes, obviously being fat doesn't mean you'll SURVIVE being shot more, just that it will lower the chance of low muzzle velocity ammunition exiting you and killing the man behind you. The game is silly.

    Wow I'm glad to see this game getting some UA-cam review love. I've held onto my Xbox disc of it for years (play it on my 360 from time to time). It's really an underrated game. Certainly isn't a 5/5 title, but for a game staring The Punisher it's pretty dead on. Here's something you might be interested in:
    A majority of the plot toward the beginning to the middle of the game follows the Marvel Knights comic story arc Welcome Back Frank (which was also borrowed from for the Thomas Jane movie) penned by Garth Ennis. That coffin scene you mentioned liking so much is right out of it.
    The look of the Punisher in this is heavily based off Steve Dillon's art in many issues of the comic. Maybe slightly beefed up, but it's clear from the two loose strands of hair over his forehead and the permanent near-snarl on his face.
    ...Yeah, I might be a huge Punisher fan.

      @TheLakabanzaichrg 6 років тому

      Gggmanlives yeah, it's a pretty good game, but could use some tweaking like points being earned instead of taken when executing the guys with the interrogation method or choosing a quick kill so you don't waste ammo or grenades just because Franks feels like, or making the boss battles a little less akward specially the Gnucci mansion one.
      As a side note i reccomend the auto shotgun or the shotgun for the Igor mission.

    There was a scene in a Garth Ennis written, Steve Dillon illustrated Punisher comic where he got in a shoot out with a mafia suit in a morgue. Castle held up a fat corpse as a shield. The suit chose a skinny one saying two can play that game. Castle kills the suit by shooting through the skinny corpse quipping rule one of the game is choosing a fat human shield. I guess the game developers took that advice to heart. My recollection of the scene may be imperfect but that was definitely the gist of it.

    The Punisher is one of the few games to be a perfect adaptation of the character, and also, imo, the best and most faithful representation of Frank in any media yet. He is a tactical genius and brutal, unstoppable killing machine, not the sensitive and effeminate cuckboy Thomas Jane and then the hysterical and un-tactical Jon Bernthal.

    • @Gggmanlives
      @Gggmanlives  6 років тому +1

    @daddiodizzle8990 5 років тому +1

    Tom Jane was great as the punisher, his voice is superb.
    Playing this game with a controller is actually more immersive. The sticks and triggers on the controller make the interrogations more intense and as though the act is a fine balancing act of control and aggression.
    Hands down STILL one of my favorite comic book games.
    How about the darkness games?

    They found a good balance between gritty realistic and more classic comic book-y Punisher. As a result there are some fun Marvel characters cameos and levels like Stark Towers with Iron Man suits that probably wouldn't fly in Punisher MAX universe. Thomas Jane did a great job voicing Castle and I loved how you can click any gun in your armory and Punisher would say a few things about it. I heard console version didn't have the black and white filter, they added that for PC only.
