August 20, 1986 Cheryl Patrick, an employee of one of the post offices in Edmond, Oklahoma, as usual, came to his job. His "post" outfit on this day was different from the standard only in the presence of two pistols, the 45th-caliber rifle 22nd-caliber ammunition and 300 bullets. Without saying a word, Patrick less than 10 minutes to perpetrate mail massacre, killing 50 shots 15 employees were there, and then shot himself. One of the far-reaching implications of this drama was the release of the computer game Postal in 1997. Bloody shooter was immediately banned for sale in the U.S. because the game offers to arrange the streets of the virtual city mindless bloodbath, vymeschaya on computer townspeople all my anger and stress. Provoked a storm of protests from the moralists Postal second part of the game differs only in a nice three-dimensional graphics and even more sadistic. Welcome to Paradise ...
Monday morning ... The Unbearable heat causes the persistent association with the hard to reach places of the devil himself. The air conditioning does not work. No electricity. Refrigerator is empty. Wife saws and demands to buy milk. You hate this life. You hate this city. Once out on the street from the close wagon in which have the misfortune to live, you are littered with dog feces on the lawn. You hate this dog. Cute dog in the meantime joyfully welcoming host crap under your feet, for which he immediately gets a shovel on the head. Good morning, Paradis, a bloody week begins ...
Provincial American town with the innocuous name of Paradise - a place is really a paradise ... for maniacs, sadists, murderers, paranoid schizophrenics, and other antisocial elements of modern society. In short, this is paradise for you! Streets, houses, shops and other establishments of the city are filled with a motley mass of completely three-dimensional and very even polygonal residents, one look at the smug, silly, otetye frankly sick and arrogant, though beautifully animated, which makes a person think of the most sophisticated methods of settling accounts with life . With their life! Postal 2 does not limit your creative thinking and not put barriers to requiring the discharge of the nervous system. Did not like the bleached blonde with the word "hacker" on the shirt? No problem! You can "hack" jade spade on the head, shoot her head with a shotgun, passing the Gulf of half-streets with blood, you can splash on her shirt a little gasoline, and then throw a match.In the latter case, you will find a magical spectacle of running around the street shrieking a living torch, later turning into convulsive flopping charred carcass.
Virtually every building in Paradise, you can visit in person, be it disco, by the way, with a very good music and a bunch of dancing oligophrenics, bank, shop or just a private home. Homeowners, however, some inhospitable, all strive to Naham, calling somehow, if not begin to shoot. Where is the friendliness and culture? Where is common courtesy, your mother! Of course, after such a "warm" reception from any normal human being a desire to shove a homeowner in the bathroom and defuse the whole clip at him. Sometimes, such a scenario are trying to prevent the servants of the rule of law, but their loose bodies as unstable to the bullets, like the rest of the carcass of the population. Although the clash with police still unsafe, because to replace them can come shkafoobraznye SWAT officers, and these "cyborg" sense of humor is missing completely, kill and do not blink an eye. But you always have a way to salvation: to surrender to the cops, go to the site, and then proudly go out, leaving behind the blood and corpses, the landscape for Paradise is quite normal.
In addition to local police, provincial town boasts a multi-storey library, a lunatic asylum (though the city is essentially one big loony bin), department store, banks, factories, offices Running with Scissors, and even elephant grill ranch! All of these places you can visit during the five days of living in Paradise, who have prepared for you developers in five global missions. Quests in the game there are only formally, in order to provide you with at least some semblance of a reason to continually uchinyaemoy massacre. Thus, the player will be asked to walk for some milk, cash a check at the bank, put into a library book, to gather signatures for a petition in support of violent computer games, etc. All this activity is filled with a thick layer of black humor and a sea of blood.
In the role of your victims serves as a motley crowd of citizens and wildlife. Cats and Dogs in Paradise - full members grinder. Of course, a special intelligence extras does not shine, but react to the actions of AI-player characters are quite capable. If you pull out a weapon, passersby will gingerly shunned. Inflict fire, and half of city dwellers with a squeal scatter, while the remaining will systematically organize you lead poisoning from their shotguns, pistols and even military M-16. Sometimes "tsiviliany" manage to quarrel with each other. In this case, a convenient safe place for some trash tank and enjoy the disassembly.
In addition to the aforementioned shotgun, M-16 and a pistol, is in Postal 2, and more unique types of weapons. How do you canister of gasoline, for example? Splash on someone its contents, throw a match and have fun ... bestiality practitioners will certainly taste silencer for a shotgun, made of live cats. What a miserable place for an animal is placed on the shotgun, guess yourself. Beginners will appreciate throwing hairdressers scissors, rapidly rikoshetyaschie from the walls and cut the hair on most shoulders.
Speaking of rebounding. Postal 2 pleases the eye with a decent physics model, although not devoid of bugs. Most of the items online. Chairs relish trip off the kick, hurt fraction lamp falls to the floor and free rides on it, the bodies of dead citizens in accordance with the law of gravity may fall from the balconies and roofs, picturesque spraying the asphalt content of its circulatory system. Bugs can be attributed to a strange twitching limbs from cadavers and ... constantly moving eyes.When I sat down on the burnt about thirty minutes ago, a girl (or rather, what was left of it) and saw the slowly moving pupils from burst blood vessels on the temperature, I was somehow not on itself.
Nevertheless, in general, Postal 2 does not inhibit the boundless cruelty and bloody. Rather, the game allows you to splash out on the monitor have accumulated over the day, negative emotions. Admit it, you are not able to face real-life format hated teaching garden spade? Or pour gasoline and set fire chief's office? From this perspective, Postal 2 - not so much a game as brilliantly executed psychological means of relaxation, allowing all comers fully satisfy the natural human desire for cruelty. And do not take seriously Postal 2, or after the third level you will recover to its neighbors to find out relations with vantuza, and even then porazrushitelnee. |
