Great review man.
Given that Western comics were never popular in Japan, I find it amusing that a bunch of Japanese guys could treat a Marvel licence so well
Yeah, this game may very well be the ultimate Punisher incarnation. I hear the movie kinda sucked, and the game they made after it sucked too. Well that's because most producers have no fucking ideea how to treat a comic book license.
The Punisher probably is the meanest motherfucker in the world. I mean if you were worried that you might be that person now you can rest assured that you're maybe the second meanest motherfucker in the world. The Punisher is number one.
And the game treats him like the meanest motherfucker. When you die and respawn he drops down from the sky, glowing and knocking everything on screen on it's ass. Like some sort of divine wrath.
And everyone loves The Punisher because he fights crime and keeps our streets safe.
Your average bus driving Joe loves him and gives him the thumbs up.
Supermodels love him because he rescues them from druglords mansions (who the hell has cells in his lobby anyway).
The scenery ain't much but some levels are more memorable than others.
Notice the shark tank. If you want to conquer the world you need a shark tank ok?
And he is the ultimate fighting machine. He doesn't have superpowers, superweapons, he has SUPERANGER!
This guy's arms morph into cannons (move over Suda51's Heroes for the Wii, it's been done) and still The Punisher will kick his ass because he's one angry dude (and setting him on fire will only make him more ANGRY!)
The only problem is this guy can't hold a sword right. I mean look at this:
Look? Is that a correct stance? I mean this game is made by the japanese, you'd think they'd know a little kendo! Or maybe that's their way of saying americans are dumb.
With proper kendo training The Punisher could become the most powerfull force in the galaxy. The entire game is just one nonstop ride of wanton distruction.
Great review man, it made me want to play this and I wasn't dissapointed.
