A decent game, ruined by awful controls
How easy in this day and age to simply add some sort of mouselook into this game? Honestly, this game is genuinely quite fun, and just acts like a top down Postal 2, which is good, however, if you're like me and like to play nearly every game with a mouse AND keyboard, then you're shit out of luck. This game does support mouse, however it's so poorly implemented and butchered that it's just not fun. The game itself is very fun, kinda reminds me of the older GTA's but, surprisingly it's more fun. The character models and art design are great, the overall design of the controls are awful. I hear the updated Postal on steam implements mouselook, but here it's nearly unplayable with it. It took me so long to realise you can only go LEFT AND RIGHT with the mouse(!!), pointing the mouse in any other direction makes Postal Dude spin out of control and forces you to quickly drag the mouse left or right to either walk straight or shoot your intended target. Using the arrow keys or WASD to move is also completely butchered, forward isn't locked to where you're stood facing, so it basically shoots itself in the foot by making mouselook almost useless! I can't even recommend using a game pad to play the game because the mouselook is still works it way in. I managed to play the first level using my Xbox 360 controller, but it took me at least 4 tries due to the plain dumb control scheme which caused me to die time and time again. Overall, it is a decent game, and can be quite fun, however this should be a game you play to let of some steam after a shit day at work, however the controls will infuriate you even more! It's sad the enhanced edition never made it onto GOG, because I much prefer GOG to steam. Kinda sad, I can't recall a single person that had heard or played this game back in the day and I think the controls had a big part to do with that. I have no idea why GOG are selling this for £4.69, that is simply way too much you can just buy it on Steam for £1.60. Shame, man.
