The Punisher When his family was gunned down by gangsters, Frank Castle became The Punisher. As Judge, Jury, and Executioner, The Punisher is cleaning up New York City one dead criminal at a time. However, if The Punisher can raise $500,000, he can pay off an informant for the location of the biggest criminal in Manhattan, The Kingpin. Working with a time limit and financed by The Trust, The Punisher only has a short time to complete enough missions to raise that much money.

The Punisher primarily plays from a top-down perspective, where the player moves The Punisher through the streets and alleys of New York, entering buildings and taking out enemies with a range of weaponry. The Punisher also drives to locations in his Battle Van, where the player controls the van from a first-person perspective, to the mission?s address. The Punisher also has a scrolling mode when The Punisher scuba dives and knifes underwater assailants on the way to boats. [source:mobygames]
