The Punisher, 2005

When we were kids, around 7th grade, we loved playing this game during breaks before computer science class, and sometimes even during the lesson. There was always a line. I don't know who came up with the idea to install "The Punisher" on the school computer, but it was genius. I remember the game from my school days for its "living shields" mechanic and, above all, its "special interrogations"; it was a great sight, especially for 13-year-olds, but overall, the shooter was cool: a wide range of weapons, bosses, and not the worst graphics. We didn't finish it in school – we didn't have enough time for the full mission. I decided to download it and felt like I was back in my happy childhood. You run around, shoot, there's cruelty, violence – everything is like in the good old days. The graphics aren't very appealing now, but it's tolerable. The game is very easy on "medium" difficulty; the only difficult part was the final boss, and even then, it was more due to the stupidity of the translator, who decided to translate "jetpack" as "weapon." But this isn't a game where difficulty is a must for enjoyment. Of all the weapons, I liked the machine gun the most, and I think it suits the hero's image perfectly. It's a shame that the flamethrower didn't live up to my expectations – it's almost impossible to use.
The main character reminded me a lot of Sanya Nevsky (also known as Kuritsyn) in appearance. It's a shame that the game isn't a comedy; in that case, our Mr. Universe would look great in the main role. After particularly epic kills, he would say "that's how it's done" and so on. We should buy him a license and make a movie.
Overall, an excellent shooter, another proof that good games don't age, 9/10
