An oddly high effort tie-in game that does make you feel like the Punisher. Story is basic Punisher stuff mix matched from the comics that came out shortly before it. Gameplay is solid, besides a few issues, mostly in how you get health and bosses. Health isn't an issue early on, enemies do nothing and you cut them down like butter. It is around the halfway point, when enemies start getting armor and better weapons. There are two ways to heal in this game, unless you buy the most expensive upgrade in the game, successfully torturing enemies, which normally gives a lot, or killing them in rampage mode, which gives a little. Now, the ability to successfully torture gets harder as you go on, so rampage becomes your only way of healing. Some later levels become an absolute endurance run with lots of cheese. The bosses are pretty much all terrible.

Only other comment, this game is shockingly dark for a video game. You violently and brutally torture people, a lot. The game also frequently pushes you to then kill said people once you have what you want. Visually it's nothing impressive, but the context is just... very interesting for a game from this time period.
