Postal plus game iso download

To complete a level, you must kill a certain percentage of hostiles. There is no penalty or reward for killing innocents; they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Like all maniacs, you are armed to the teeth with a wicked arsenal of death tools You start out with access to a machine gun, hand grenades, and mines. As the game progresses, you pick up more violent weapons and ammo, from the basic shotgun to the Napalm Launcher.

There are a total of 10 weapons 12 if you count different mine types , though I found the standard machine gun far and away the most useful. It has infinite ammo and tremendous range. While the other weapons looked cooler, only the Spray gun auto-shotgun and the Napalm Launcher proved invaluable.

The graphics are smooth and don't need huge minimum system requirements. This is refreshing, but the characters are quite small. For such an offensive game, it seems almost anti-climactic that they all look like miniature versions of Mr. While the blood is prodigious, it feels more like cartoon violence. The game engine is mainly isometric, though it occasionally switches to lower level side-view or a directly overhead top-down view.

This is pre-set for each level you can't toggle views. While the isometric approach is great for getting a bird's eye view of the map, it creates an occasional obstruction problem. This is solved by the handy option called 'X-ray' where the Postal Dude can be seen through objects.

Speaking of which, you can't really manipulate the backgrounds. Some things can be shot gas tanks , but you can't go into many of the buildings or affect anything other than people. The ability to interact with the playing field would have added a much needed layer of depth.

The control in Postal is reminiscent of another isometric shooter, Meat Puppet, though admittedly better. You can control your little psycho with the keyboard or mouse, or a combination of both. I found the keyboard alone to be the easiest; unfortunately, none of the controls are very tight. Aiming at things is made easier by a target option, but is still difficult and unwieldy at best. In fact, aim takes a back seat to sheer strafing mania.

You can also play through the game sites Mplayer and Heat, and all software is included on the disk. Or are they? Free on Steam. Free on GOG.

Blast your way through 16 levels, plus an ending level! All of which play over beautiful hand-painted backgrounds. Take aim with the Scatter Gun! And I thought we had got past that stage a few years ago after Dark Forces? A level editor is also included, and is relatively simple to use.

Don't expect to be able to create entirely new backdrops though, the manual art system means that the editor's only use is to customise the existing levels, which is handy for multiplayer.

The isometric viewpoint means that multiplayer can be quite a different experience from the usual first person action games, which is nice as an alternative - at first. After a while I found that Postal lacked the immediacy, and intensity, of a good multiplayer fragfest. Since the open beta test of Postal a few months ago the game has received attention purely because of it's violent content. Is it that violent?

Well, yes and no. When hit they often fall to the ground moaning where they can be executed , and as is the style these days, bodies remain on screen as does the unrealistically excessive amount of red stuff. It seems to me that the violent concepts that the game portrays are more objectionable than their execution excuse the pun. The cartoonish style removes the possibility of anything really hideous.

What does set Postal apart violence-wise is the audio, probably the outstanding feature. While there is little music to speak of all of the in game effects and ambient sounds are superb. The moaning and suffering of hit civilians can be quite disturbing in their realism, as are the fire effects and animations. While the graphics fail to evoke the surreal atmosphere that was intended, the sound plays its part superbly.

There have been few games over the years which have received more hype and attention than Postal , which is truly a compliment to the games designers and their marketing department. By relentlessly pushing the violence aspect and highly controversial theme, they've succeeded in making a simplistic, mediocre title into one of the most talked about games of the last few months.

But now that the cloud of anticipation that we call pre-release is over, RWS can't hide the simple facts anymore. Violence just isn't enough to make a computer game good. Screenshots from MobyGames.
