Some missions put Dude into extremely hostile environments where he will be tempted to kill the people attacking him in order to survive, and at these moments the player will have to make a choice whether to fight or to flee. While difficult, it is possible for the player to complete the game without resorting to violence or having to kill anyone although in this case, the player will have to resort to using cunning tactics to survive-including a greater temptation to steal and take drugs. Going on the rampage (or going postal, the phrase which the game is named after) is clearly encouraged, but never necessary. The game remains banned and possession, distribution or even buying it for personal use is widely illegal and is a criminal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $275,000. In 2004, The Office Of Film And Literature Classification Of New Zealand banned Postal 2 outright because of its high level violent content, animal violence and a scene that was considered "gross and abhorrent" where the player urinates on dead bodies at a terrorist camp. The people of Paradise are exceptionally rude and spit insults at Dude if he bumps into them, and furthermore weapons ranging from machine guns to rocket launchers are left lying around for him to collect. Additionally, there are long queues when Dude visits the bank, the library, Church, and elsewhere. Critics state that the game clearly urges people playing the game to indulge in homicidal behavior, given that Dude is often attacked by ludicrous hate groups who despise everything from books to video games. The developers of the game countered criticism of the violence by claiming that the amount of violence is up to the players-they may go about their tasks without causing trouble, or they can create mayhem. This scene caused a great deal of controversy in New Zealand as graphic depictions of urination are deemed "obscene" in New Zealand.
