[edit] Story
The Punisher is a beat 'em up where Punisher and Fury embark on a quest to thwart the New York crime lord Kingpin, engaging on various foes and stage bosses mostly in hand-to-hand combat. Several established Marvel Universe villains appear throughout the game, such as the Mafia captain Bruno Costa, Bonebreaker, Bushwhacker, Jigsaw, and the Kingpin himself as the final boss.
[edit] Gameplay
The gameplay follows the same side-scrolling beat'em up formula Capcom established in Final Fight. Much in the same way that Capcom's Cadillacs and Dinosaurs did the same month, the game distinguishes itself by the frequent use of several firearms (Ingram submachine gun, M16 rifle, an improvised flamethrower), along with the traditional melee and thrown (including baseball bats, hammers, knives, Japanese swords and shuriken), as well as improvised weapons such as lead pipes or car tyres. There are also several sections of the game in which the characters draw their handguns enabling the player to shoot the enemies (only when facing the enemy characters armed with guns).
Unlike in Final Fight, Punisher and Nick Fury's size, abilities, and tactics are essentially interchangeable; they both use the same punch, kick, throw, and special piledriver and "megacrush" attacks. Common enemy characters the player confronts during the course of the game include basic street thugs, classic-style Mafia mobsters, gun-toting mercenaries, and even teleporting ninja women and skeleton-like cyborgs resembling T-800. Many background elements can be also destroyed.
