At the time of writing this a patch was subsequently released and they may have fixed a few bugs but my experience was marred with constant crashing and a lot of graphical glitches in the later levels. The mouths early on didn't really sync up with the dialogue that was being said. It was just little things here and there that drew me out of the experience, but not entirely. In addition to that, there are long loading times but nothing too bad, could be terrible PC.


I do have to say a big point to Postal 3 is having me care about what I was going to do next. Most games I'm often relaxing back in tedium for what I have to do next because I know where I'm headed.  But with Postal 3, I was eagerly anticipating what crazy stupid dialogue would fall from the Postal Dude and other secondary characters lips.



To sum it all up Postal 3 is one of the most interestingly written, psychotic and harmful games I've ever played. I say harmful because the type that it's likely to attract more than what the game has to say. The game is ultra gory and offensive, but both are taken with dark humour and mild context. While the previous game lost points for being poorly rendered and a bit offensive, for the sake of it, Running with Scissors has outshone that previous game and ended up with a product that looks good, sounds great and is often funny.


To give it an arbitrary score, I'd give it a 7.5.

I wonder when we see the first game about psycho British Taxi drivers? Because it looks like we got plenty of them with gun licences over here, and i actually only live a few streets away from Michael Atherton who started shooting his family the other week.

You need to buy the steam key from the RWS´s store.

They will shortly send the key to your e-mail, and you can then register the game to your steam account.
