I even ran into a situation where a passerby saw me murder someone and ran to a cop to point me out. Cops will usually try and work together to take your or someone else down by maneuvering around each other to get a better shot. You’ll see some enemies run for cover or just get plain scared and drop their weapon while running madly away. The AI will have its moments of brilliance and stupidity like most games. After a few shots from the cops the enemy will turn their attention on them rather than you. You can shoot back and risk the cops taking you down also or have the law deal with the situation. It’s up to you to deal with the situation as you see fit. For example, once you get on the video game protestors bad side, they will shoot you on site no questions asked. While most will leave you alone unless provoked, there are a few that will shoot you on sight. Thankfully the lines aren’t too long and you should be able to get through them in a relatively short amount of time.Ĭops and other cast of characters inhabit the game world giving you an illusion of a living population in the town of Paradise. Standing in line is about as exciting in the game as it is in real life. Just make sure there are no cops around to see you whip out that weapon.
Or you can take your gun, scare everyone away, and move to the head of the line with ease. There are a few instances were I was able to successfully cut in line and get my objective complete. There are a few areas where you have to stand in line and if you try to cut in the employee at the place will tell you to get in the back and not serve you. If you rather wait for the task of standing in line to confess your sins as your last stop you can. One nice thing is each task is separate and you don’t have to complete them in any order. You’re given a number of tasks each day and you’ll experience the madness that occurs throughout the day. The fights help add some spice to an otherwise boring routine or task that’s assigned to you. You’ll actually get through some without any incident but most of the time you’ll be in the middle of a firefight for your life. And that’s usually how a simple task results into a bloodbath. You can either sit back and let the RWS guys handle the situation with their guns or duke it out and unleash your aggressions on them. After you pick up your check after your first day of work (I don’t know why you’re paid for your first day but I digress.), a group of activists against video game violence come storming into the building ready to take you and the employees of RWS out. Yes, you work for the company that developed the game and their office is in the game itself. While the tasks seem simple enough, they will usually lead to some sort of violent act upon completion.įor example, one of the first tasks you’ll need to meet is getting your check from your job at Running With Scissors. Each new day also brings new sections of the town to visit. Each day you are given a set of tasks to complete before you return home to your trailer to be nagged by your significant other. The load times can be pretty long at times so you don’t want to jump back and forth between areas that much. Most areas have a bright yellow sign telling you that walking through here will generate a load from your harddrive. The design of Paradise is like Half-Life where it’s one big area and each section is loaded as you walk through a load zone that’s usually signified by a long tunnel. The game leaps from its 2D sprite top down view to the first person 3D Unreal engine technology. Postal 2 lets you live one interesting week in the postal dude’s life. Postal 2 offers up a first person shooter that, while might not be a great bonafide hit, is still not too shabby in some parts and definitely not for those who are offended easily.
Living in Paradise, Arizona where it seems almost everyone carries a gun you can run into all sorts of interesting characters that inhabit the small town. Running through a week on the life of the postal dude can be interesting.
