Postal III

Gameplay

In the single player campaign you can pick one of two paths and either Ecotologists (The Insane Path) or local police forces with fighting crime (The Good Path). Similarly to the previous instalments, you do not have to limit yourself to just completing quests – nothing is stopping you from venting the Dude’s anger on ers-by. If you do that after ing the police, you can count on facing a sack. Some missions feature bosses. There are a few training missions that introduce you to the basic gameplay elements.

Unlike the former instalments in which you saw the world through the hero’s eyes, Postal III published on PC and X360 presents the action from the third-person perspective. During gameplay, the Dude meets a wide array of both fictional and real characters – e.g. Uwe Boll and Ron Jeremy. The game features a few unusual weapons - the most controversial one is a combination of a chainsaw and a… badger. The developesr assumed that this tool will shock even more than the combination of a shotgun and a cat seen in Postal 2. Apart from this, you can count on help from a dog, or a monkey. There are also a bit less exotic weapons, like a machete, a shovel, a machine gun, and grenades.

Technical aspects

Postal III released on PC and X360 is powered by Source engine, used in e.g. Half-Life 2. The engine underwent a number of changes – visuals are significantly different from those we saw playing as Gordon Freeman.
