The Punisher (2005 Video Game)
8/10
best Punisher game thus far, but if the final game was as violent as the demo it would have been MUCH better

Warning: Spoilers
Thomas Jane lends his voice to the Punisher game which is based on the comic more than the recent movie (they DO tie it into the game by who a main villain turns out to be, but I hated the reveal that a major Punisher comic villain is one of the villains from the film). The controls are easy to master and it's fun to play. In fact, if I didn't play the demo for this game before the actual game itself I would have liked it a lot more. See the demo was MUCH more violent and the choose to tone it down quite a bit to secure an M rating. Yes if the game was released like the demo it would have likely gotten an Adults Only certificate. What we DO wind up with is exciting and fun enough, and the special kills are still brutal. I enjoyed the many special cameos from other Marvel comics as well. I just can't keep from wondering about the game that might have been.

My Grade: B+
