The Punisher is a 2005 third-person shooter action-adventure game developed by Volition and published by THQ. Based on the Marvel Comics character Punisher. It was released in 2005 for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows; a mobile phone game was developed by Amplified Games, developed in 2004 and released in 2005.
The game stars the antihero Punisher after his family was murdered by the Mafia, Frank Castle devoted his life to the punishment of criminals. Players take control of the titular ruthless vigilante to track down and kill criminals. The story is a loose hybridization of the 2004 film of the same name, as well as the Vol. 5 (2000) and Vol. 6 (2001) series of the comic books. Actor Thomas Jane reprises his role as Castle/The Punisher.
An earlier video game adaptation of the film was in development by Mucky Foot Productions but it was cancelled when THQ decided to bring development in-house.[2]
