Without its depraved raison d'etre the game's essential flimsiness is exposed, and the resulting action is as hollow as the tips of The Punisher's vengeful bullets. You see, toning down the game's sick side has, in a sense, ruined this comic-book shooter. Which is great if you're concerned with the moral turpitude of the industry, but it does leave me in a bit of a quandary. Marvel's misanthropic antihero, an NRA poster-boy with the most vicious sense of justice this side of an American detention camp had been tamed. The vicious torture scenes - taking in everything from a Fargo-style encounter with a wood chipper to a kerbside homage to American History X - were burnt out, solarised into a mere suggestion of their former brutality.
