![]() ![]() If the snore-inducing levels weren’t bad enough, the game commits the unforgivable sin of referencing its own soul-crushing design choices as though that makes them better. Though objectives technically run a wide range of seemingly mundane tasks such as collecting apples or returning stolen Segways, they all end up breaking down into boring shoot-outs with huge numbers of brain-dead enemies. From the opening tutorial to the credits, the game barfs out a barely cobbled-together series of mostly linear levels. Even that little bit of intrigue has been removed from Postal III. The main character – referred to only as The Postal Dude – was let loose to wander around the city of Paradise, completing tasks or getting into trouble at his own pace. Whatever problems people had with Postal 2, it was at least interesting from a structural point of view. As it turns out, they also don’t have the design or programming chops to create a stable game. ![]() The difference is that the people behind Postal III don’t have the writing ability to back up their gutter-dwelling mouths. That’s not necessarily a bad thing popular shows like South Park thrive on a similar brand of button-pushing humor. If you have the ability to be offended by a joke, the team over at Running With Scissors will figure out a way to make it happen. ![]() From its previous two iterations and the infamous Uwe Boll-directed film, Postal has gained a reputation for being a franchise that runs down the limits of good taste before backing up, climbing out of its truck, and taking a leak on the remains. ![]()
