PARADISE ARIZONA POSTAL 2 SHARE THE PAIN MODS

I'm guessing with the recent film Adaptation, it's becoming cool to feature the making of things into the actual thing you're making yourself. Postal 2 continues the story of someone, for the lack of a better name, called The Postal Dude who works for, ironically, not the post office but actually Running With Scissors themselves. My crazed and confused victims proceeded to run around wailing and subsequently lighting everyone else on fire - including me. Later I found that you could light a whole trail of gasoline on fire, so I proceeded to a busy block in Paradise, Arizona and simply lit some people on fire just for the heck of it.

Putting one and one together, that's what I came up with. Disturbing, yes, but I walked around, found a gasoline can and then found out you could use matches. One of the first things I managed to do was take a gasoline can and light a dog on fire. You can pick up a cat and attach its orifice (I'll let you figure out which one) to the end of your gun as a silencer. Of course, a key component of Postal 2 is the ability to have fun with the premise. In the everyday world (at least I would hope so), you'd wait diligently fuming to yourself - in Postal 2, you are given the freedom to point a gun at everyone until they all run away defecating themselves, or you can simply unleash your shovel on the objects of your frustration until you get your way. You have to line up to make a confession. For example, most tasks involve lining up to do things. Like a dark comedy, it taps into sublime latent thoughts of our collective zeitgeist. But that's also part of its offbeat humor. I would have expected something more in the line of: how many people can you maim, left leg only, and then the right. Certainly it is surprising considering this game is known for its graphic violence and tendency for mutilation and excess. At one point, you even have to remind yourself to urinate on your father's grave. You have to buy a new toy called Krotchy (think the male anatomy). In fact, the objectives carried out in the missions are downright pedestrian at times. Of course, besides the numerous in-jokes in the game, usually conveyed through voiceovers and billboard signs, there aren't any suggestions you have to commit violence. One of the first 'weapons' you're introduced to is the shovel, and it happens to be the melee weapon of choice for everyone else. The violence is cruder and more lewd here than before. It plays on this small subset of Grand Theft Auto, sans the vehicles, by letting you create havoc, chaos and mayhem without any repercussions. Running With Scissors capitalizes on this tangent and basically runs with it for the course of Postal 2. If you ever played Grand Theft Auto 3, you'll remember having periodic fits of frustration where you'll simply take it out on the denizens of Liberty City and then, of course, quickly reload so you can retry the last mission again.

Players are encouraged to build mods for the game with an editor that allows positioning of NPCs, buildings, furniture, and environments along with control of NPC weapon assignments. Postal 2 offers a myriad of gameplay elements such as being arrested by the police (lose all weapons but regain health), hiding, monitoring your 'Wanted Meter,' getting hints from the local newspaper, using cats as silencers, use of drugs, bizarre criminal behavior, 'marking your territory,' and more. Players intent on completing the game with a minimum of violent responses should be aware of inevitable situations that will require confrontation with extremists and vicious NPCs. Players encounter dozens of Non-Player Characters (NPCs), animals, and bizarre situations as they explore the non-linear world by investigating homes, alleys, rooftops, roads, clubs, shops, multi-story buildings, banks, convenient stores, and much more. Sprinkled with humor as well as violence, Postal 2's immediate goal requires players to survive five days of tedious errands, with the map of Paradise expanding upon completion of each day's missions. Players have the option of trying to navigate the game's many violent scenes peacefully or blazing their way through the daily errands required of the Postal Dude with an arsenal consisting of shovels, batons, stun guns, gasoline, pistols, shotguns, machine guns, grenades, Molotov cocktails, scissors, rifles, rocket launchers, napalm, and more. Postal 2 upgrades the action with the use of Epic's Unreal warfare engine, and features actor Gary Coleman in a special guest role.
