![]() But thats what I LOVE about it! Watchmen: The End is Nigh doesn’t try to be some huge “event” game, rather it captures the spirit and the feel of the games we all used to play back in the day, Watchmen: The End is Nigh is a retro game for a retro film. The gameplay is very simplistic: fight some bad guys, run to the next area, fight more bad guys, run to next area, pull a switch or open a door, fight more bad guys… It continues like that for the entire of the game. You can play as Rorschach or Nite Owl as you infilitrate a prison riot only to find out that Underboss has escaped in the commotion! The rest of the game sees you tracking him down, till you finally confront, and defeat, him at the end of the game. Watchmen: The End is Nigh is a prequel to the movie, and fleshes out some of the flashbacks from the graphic novel. You’ve probably all downloaded and played the demo version of the Watchmen game The End Is Nigh, I did, and I disagreed with the majority of the reviews I had seen: most criticised the monotony of the gameplay, whereas I loved the old-school beat-’em up style action so on Friday I decided to shell out for the full version of the game… If you’ve ever played the last-gen (PS2/Xbox) updates of the Double Dragon style side-scrolling beat-’em ups such as Final Fight: Streetwise, or Urban Reign then you’ll know what to expect – a lot of running around then button-bashing fights, trying to put together combos to inflict faster and harder damage on your opponents. Multiplayer works well – there were some early postings on Twitter regarding lag during online play, but I have experienced none so far via the EU PSN… WATCHMEN: THE END IS NIGH (PS3) Graphically the game is one of, if not the best looking game made for PSN, however there has been some compromise on graphics to allow for faster online gameplay – but not so much that it is noticeable to the untrained eye. Playing No Mercy online took me back to the days when we used to play LAN games of Quake 3 and Unreal 2 on the early shift at work before the boss came in! It’s obvious that the game owes a lot to the Call of Duty franchise and if you’ve played those to death like I have, you’ll feel right at home with Punisher: No Merc y. Punisher: No Mercy feels like an old friend, full of familiar gameplay but with a Marvel twist. Players fight alongside, or take on, Punisher allies and villains in traditional arena-style multiplayer matches that feature solo and team-based missions for up to eight players. In addition to the solo gameplay there is an amazing online experience to be had. There’s plenty of Punisher-esque elements to the game, which includes very strong language – think of this game as more a Punisher Max game than Punisher: War Journal. The story mode is wrapped in amazing cut scenes that tell a brand new story, brought to life through artwork from artist Mike Deodato. Alongside the option to unlock weapons, you also have the ability to unlock and play as other Punisher characters such as Silver Sable. You start Punisher: No Mercy with minimal weaponry and skills, with the ability to unlock more as you play the game. As you would expect from an FPS the game is incredibly fast paced, it’s very much a “think fast or die” game, much like the classic FPS’s Unreal 2 and Quake 3. Playing as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, you battle hordes of villains, including comic luminaries such as Bushwhacker and Jigsaw as you make your way through familiar Punisher locations such as shipyards rife with contraband to the birthplace of Punisher’s archenemy Jigsaw. ![]() Produced by Zen Studios, the game uses the Unreal engine to power the fast-paced first person shooter action. Punisher: No Mercy is the latest videogame from the Marvel stable, available exclusively in North America and Europe as a digital download on the Playstation Network from today.

Sometimes if you're at top speed you can gain airtime if you manage to cross a ramp / certain obstacles. The canals are also useful if you make sure to turn before actually reaching the 90 degree path. Since there are no actual roads (irl roads), it's better to memorize pathways and shortcuts.įor instance, the highway that crosses the marketplace is useful if you don't want to use other pathways.
