Punisher, The Cheats (Xbox)

Go to any laptop during game play and look directly at the screen. The figure of the Hulk
will appear, flexing.

You can use interrogations on enemies to help reveal secret rooms, flashbacks,
locations where you can find weaponry, and other information. If the enemy's voice echoes,
you have unlocked a flashback. To interrogate an enemy, run up to him and press A (grab).
Then press A(2) to perform an interrogation from punch, face smash, choke, gun tension.
For a general interrogation gun tension must be used with small firearms like the .45
pistols and submachine guns. Special Interrogations must be found by grabbing a human
shield and taking him to a white skull zone. You can always practice general interrogation
or special ones. If performing interrogations are too difficult, try the following
tips:



Press Y to display a help screen with the special interrogations.

Turn on the subtitles to read what they say once interrogated. To do this, go to
"Options" on the apartment menu and choose "Closed Caption".

The bar at the bottom is their stress level status. Get them in the orange zone at the
numbers should count down from 3 seconds. If it reaches zero, you have broken the
criminal.

Always weaken your enemies to stress them easier, but make sure they have plenty of
life. The bar at the top is their health status.

Try not to kill the enemy you are interrogating. It's an interrogation because style
points will be lost if you get too aggressive.

If you see enemies with a white skull above their head, it indicates you need that
person. He may have information on how to unlock an armory.

The orange bar will keep getting smaller as you progress throughout the harder levels,
making it a more challenging interrogation.

To interrogate harder enemies you may need to weaken them slightly. Use the Left
Analog-stick and the directions to control the interrogation.

modern Punisher costume.

To achieve a high score, grab a human shield and use him. Shoot some enemies and try not
to get hit. The longer you go without getting hit, the higher your points get. However, if
you somehow get hit your points are rounded up and you must start again with not getting
hit.

When you get off of the gondola, take a right into the shed. Do not go to the launch pad
yet. Get the ammunition for the sniper rifle. Leave the shed and make a right to the steps
to the missile launch pad. Walk up the steps and the Russian will say "We have to stop
meeting like this, Big Boy!". He will stay on the catwalk above, throwing flaming barrels
at you. Shooting him is useless. Watch the Russian through your more precise aiming (it is
easier this way). When he lifts a barrel, he will walk a little way, lift it above his
head, and it will catch fire. Shoot the barrel while it is on fire before he throws it at
you. It will explode in his face. After two or three explosions, guards will begin to
appear from the right and left sides of the map. Take them out if they give you a problem,
however try to focus on the Russian. After the Russian's life gets half-way down, an
intermission sequence featuring him catching ablaze will play. He will then jump down and
chase after you. Get him to chase you into the piles of barrels scattered in the corners
of the map. There is one barrel in each pile that will light (usually the brightest one).
Get the Russian to walk into the barrel and it will ignite. Then, shoot the barrel to blow
it up on the Russian. Be careful not to get too close or you will sustain damage. After
about four to five explosions, he will be defeated. Note: If the Russian runs into a
guard, the guard will also catch fire.

At the end of the level, just before you destroy the helicopter and after all the enemies
on the ground are dead, stand just outside the last door (when leaving the building stay
to the right, but turn back towards the door). An enemy keeps respawning, and he comes out
the same way every time. Grab him as soon as he comes out and take him back inside to
interrogate, then kill him. Go back outside and wait to do it all over again. If done
correctly, the helicopter will not hit you, and you can really rack up the point
multiplier. Use all the different interrogations you can and alternate quick kills with
knock outs (Y), to boost the multiplier. You can get up to 450,000 points to spend on
character upgrades by doing this about one hour.

Interrogate enemies normally. If their words echoes, this indicates that you have unlocked
a flashback. Replay the levels to unlock more of them.

The first guard you encounter in Ryker's will be held up by a prisoner. The prisoner
refers to him by the name "Dixon". He is named after Chuck Dixon, a writer for the
Punisher comics, Daredevil comics, and Marvel Knights comics.

During the intermission sequence immediately after the Crackhouse level, look closely at
the license plate of the car that tries to hit Frank. Notice that it reads "ASM129". The
Punisher first made his appearance in "Amazing Spider Man issue #129".

If you get close enough (just slightly further than the Quick Kill/Grab point) an enemy
will sometimes (especially in the earlier levels) back off, wave his hands as if to say
"don't shoot" then say similar to "It-- it's you!!!!"; giving you time to shoot him. Also,
sometimes by performing a quick kill near another enemy, sometimes they will put a hand
over their mouth as though they are about to vomit, and say something similar to "I think
I'm gonna be sick!" or "Oh my God!" followed by a vomiting sound. This also gives you some
extra time to shoot the enemy. Note: This does not work on all Yakuza gang members.

In the Funeral Home level, one of the Gnucci's tells you that you can get in a room by
tilting the statue in the bedroom. The statue is that of a polar bear. This is a tribute
to Garth Ennis' "Welcome Back, Frank" comic, because Ma Gnucci is mauled by a polar bear
in the zoo after Frank punches it in the face.

When you reach this part of the level, you may be compelled to take the sniper rifle to
your left. You can if desired, but it is not required. If you want to get out quick, run
to the middle rock near the edge (where the chopper is flying). You will find an anti-tank
launcher (rocket launcher) and what may be an unlimited ammo cache. Try to aim for the man
with the rocket launcher in the chopper (usually on the right). After you hit him, keep
firing missiles at the chopper. Make sure that you strafe (or at least keep moving), as
there are snipers in almost all directions around you.

At the beginning of the Stark Towers level when the Yakuza start their attack, the
scientists working behind the glass talk about an interdimensional portal, and one refers
to the other as Doctor Freeman. Gordon Freeman is the main character in the popular
Half-Life game series by Valve Software.

If you get hit once by your enemies, your style points will be on your score, and it would
not be good enough for a massive score. Always take your time. Do not rush into every room
because there is no time limit. If you are having difficulty shooting them, try aiming for
precise headshots to kill them instantly. Use interrogations first then do the quick kill
on them. Watch your back and keep an eye on enemy numbers. Be aware of where they are
going to attack from and defeat multiple enemies without getting hit. This is the easiest
way to achieve style points. Additionally, try the Golden Skulls special kills. White
Skulls are special interrogation zones. If a mission's medal score seems to difficult for
you on the stats screen, replay the level for another attempt. Use the Right Analog-stick
fine aim mode for headshots. Mix up the violence in this game to achieve style points.
Headshots is the best strategy to take down heavily armored opponents.

To defeat Bushwacker you must do two things. First, aim for his head and fire. Eventually,
his glasses will fall off. Once, his glasses are off it is a free for all as long as you
have some flashbangs. If you do not have flashbangs, then just kill some henchmen and they
will drop some. Begin launching flashbangs near Bushwacker and he will get disoriented.
When he starts moving around like he is drunk, start shooting him. He will begin to fire
his weapon, but most of the time he is inaccurate. He eventually will die after enough
damage is taken.

Jigsaw is quite possibly the easiest fight in the game (if played smart). First, take out
Jigsaw's jet pack. Simply walk over to a cargo crate. Make sure that you can see Jigsaw,
but he cannot see or hit you. If you wait, Jigsaw will come to you. When he gets close
enough, run under him. Then, just shoot his backpack and stay under Jigsaw. After a little
cat and mouse, an intermission sequence will play. Jigsaw is now on foot. Jigsaw's way of
defense are ten fast blasts and a large plasma ball. You will need to run in between boxes
to throw him off your path. Run around until you see a guard, then finish him quick. The
guard will drop a RAM explosive. These are used by walking up to a wall and pressing
Secondary Fire once (while RAM is selected). The charge is now armed and ready for
detonation. Get Jigsaw's attention by letting him see you. He will run after you. When he
gets near the RAM, press your Secondary Fire again (maintain safe distance) and an
explosion will blow off a piece of Jigsaw's armor. Repeat this procedure until Jigsaw
falls to your punishment. Additionally, when you are fighting Jigsaw, get under him when
he is in the air and shoot his jetpack. When he turns around, get behind him and shoot him
again. Plant mines on the ground and detonate them when he walks by to finish him.

In Fisk Industries, when you interrogate the man to ask how to stop the turrets, he tells
you the access code is "217". That is the area code for Champaign, IL, where the game was
developed.
