Desperate measures I honestly have no words.Īnd you really do have to employ any means necessary, as the game starts to become so ridiculously hard that creatively despatching adversaries is usually sidestepped in favour of getting shot of the uncannily accurate and curiously armoured civilians and/or police officers as quickly as possible. However, knocking the heads off civilians with a shovel, using cats as shotgun silencers, and setting fire to marching bands before extinguishing the flames with a stream of your own urine wears thin in about an hour's play, after which there is nothing to do but trawl through the game completing menial tasks by any means necessary. Once you're (somewhat willingly) pushed over the edge, it can admittedly be fun to indulge in the opportunities for mindless violence that arrive at every turn of a corner, and in every random box of a building you enter. You either die and reload, or fight back. Now, you can try to flee unscathed, but it's not going to happen unless you're playing on the absolute easiest setting. Once you've picked up your cheque (and been fired, as it turns out), the picketing parents outside decide to take their protest up a notch and storm the offices with assault rifles in the game's first supposed effort at irony. We saunter across town, taking in the sights, watching the inhabitants of Paradise going about their business, trekking through two traffic tunnels which signify load points of roughly 90 seconds each until we finally arrive at work - the Running With Scissors office. We'll take one of the first missions as an example: pick up your pay cheque. You can either let the game provoke you into a homicidal rage, or you can die and reload. You can, if you like, spend a week of the Dude's life fulfilling the menial tasks that form the trials and tribulations of our trench-coated protagonist.īut that's not how it works. Certainly, there may be submachine guns, shotguns, shovels and Molotov cocktails arbitrarily placed throughout (ugh) "Postal Dude's" hometown of Paradise, but you don't have to use them. The idea behind Postal 2, say Running With Scissors, is that it's only as violent as you are. Postal was - in a word - dire, so have Running With Scissors become big or clever while the videogaming world has matured around them? Shock tactics What is a pinko, anyway?

Making friends with Gary Coleman and selling homemade cookies to save up for an Unreal engine license we suppose. One has to wonder what Running With Scissors have been doing since the original Postal's release in 1997.
