Sometimes you can throw the machete and cut off a guy’s leg, and then watch the thing bounce back off of a wall and cut off the guy’s arm. This means that you can hack a few people’s legs off by throwing the machete and watching it boomerang around through a few people. With the alt-fire button, you can throw it and it will boomerang back to you. The best new weapon, however, is the machete, which is probably the highlight of the expansion pack. The game adds a scythe and a sledge hammer, both of which can do a lot of damage. This level also has almost no health packs in it and is impossibly and annoyingly difficult. The worst offender is an abysmal military base level that has you fighting national guard troops for about an hour. Some of the game’s missions have you trudging for what seems like forever through repetitive and dull environments. Overall, this opening sequence is long and boring, which is representative of most of the game. Your first mission has you escaping from the hospital while you avoid all sorts of hallucinatory Gary Colemans who mostly just throw grenades at you. You start off this game on Saturday in the hospital. As a traditional mission-based first person shooter, it’s mediocre, and can’t compete with the likes of Half-Life 2 or Far Cry. As an open-ended humorous game, Postal 2 is unique and fun. This game also reuses some of the maps a few times and has tons of backtracking. This is a huge disappointment, and it shows that perhaps Running With Scissors misunderstood what made Postal 2 enjoyable. This one map ties together all of your various missions, which only open one at a time. In fact, the game is almost completely linear now, and the city itself only has one map. Instead, the new weapons can’t be imported into the old game, and you can’t visit all of the old areas of Paradise. This could have been a great expansion pack if it had added the new areas and weapons to the core game and continued the sandbox/Grand Theft Auto-style mission-based play. Therein lies the biggest flaw in what is mostly a mediocre expansion pack. Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend attempts to provide a much more linear and traditional first person shooter experience. And then, in 2021, Werewolves Within went Certified Fresh, establishing it as by-far the best-reviewed video game movie! The latest, Uncharted, dives back to familiar territory for this genre.By doctor_kaz | Review Date: JThe original Postal 2 was more of an antisocial behavior simulator than an actual first person shooter.

We’re using a 20-review minimum cutoff for inclusion from theatrical releases only, because it’s not just enough to make a questionable movie, critics need to witness the aftermath, too.Īnd in May 2019, Detective Pikachu officially broke the video game curse! Fitting that Nintendo, whose Super Mario Bros. Here, you will find the near-decent ( Rampage, Resident Evil), the should’ve-been-goods ( Assassin’s Creed, Warcraft), the ridiculous-but-we-love-thems ( Mortal Kombat, Silent Hill), and the ones made by Uwe Boll, who deserves his own category ( Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead). But like the kid who just has to pump in one more quarter to reach for that high score, the studios keep on trying (while the fans just keep on hoping), and we’re celebrating that sort of sheer tenacity with this guide to the best video game movies (and plenty of the worst) ranked by Tomatometer! It was in 1993 that Hollywood realized the dream of putting a video game movie up on the big screen with Super Mario Bros., and setting the stage for a long legacy of questionable choices, troubled productions, and gamers’ pixel tears left in their wake.
