Postal 2

I like FPS's but there are so few with creativity like DOOM 3 witch was just great visuals and mediocre game play, it's wait for monsters to pop out and you shoot them. The critics praise GTA San Andreas but it's just GTA 3 with a few minor tweaks and horrible controls for walking and shooting. Postal 2 is a breath of fresh air, just make sure to get Share The Pain it has half the load times and online play. Postal 2 is so creative, you can use a shovel (first weapon in the game) and knock someone head off and the physics let you kick the head around and the body too. Liquid is also realistic with the, physics you can make a trail of gas and set it ablaze and pee anywhere. It's fun to whip it out in the game, women point and laugh, and men goof on you until you pee in their mouth and watch them run, puke, or pull a gun out. One thing I hate about GTA games are missions were you baby set some fool and if he dies you screwed, races, and other missions that are more stressful that fun, Postal 2 has none of that. This game is very free roaming and you do missions at your own leisure. All buildings can be entered (unlike most games) you can beat the game guns blazing or with stealth your call. The missions are humorous and there is no story and boring cut scenes are short and don't waste your time. You get a check list in each level, like pick up your paycheck at Running With Scissors (makers of Postal 1 and 2) but all hell breaks lose when anti video game protesters take arms and gun down the company for their cause. There are also mazes that keep changing in some missions, and the way you play (passive or madman) will change some missions. Like at the bank when you cash your paycheck there are about 20 people in line, if you wait and cash it bank robbers show so you can sneak out or kill them all. If you don't want to wait you can rob the bank vault and kill at least 40 cops. As far as replay value it depend on the player, I've beaten the game 4 times and I mostly just go on killing sprees and I've been playing for several months and it's a good time killer. I can't wait for the single player expansion in January 2005. The best thing is Postal 2 is $20.00 or less. I'd recommend this to Unreal and Duke Nukem fans! 9/10

I'm serious like you can do anything in this game. I have to admit it's addicting but not to much for a 14 or 15 year old game. I like the Postal Dude like when he got arrested "Hay that ain't my fault! Arrest the kid with the keyboad!", man his dialouge is very memeroble. Good game worth the buy. 10.5/10

Postal 2 is a hilarious video game the gameplay isn't good it's pretty meh but it is so stupid that it becomes amazing. The gimmick of postal 2 is really odd it's a FPS where you do odd jobs most would do in their lifetime like grabbing a steak or cashing a work paycheque. Postal 2 is a truly hilarious and fun little fps but I would call it an immersive simulator, if you don't know what an immersive simulator is it's a fps where the shooting and gunplay aren't the fun part but doing funny or cool things and postal 2 is really really funny it's so random it can be racist, crude, silly and way more if you haven't played it play is it's cheap on steam on a sale please get it.

This game really does rock. it has humor,action, and Gary Coleman. the only thing is that you need to like games, and violent ones to appreciate this game,but once you do you will be in for a great adventure that makes you Go Postal. Another thing, this game has some offensive subject and might offend some people, but thats what i thought and i didn't offend me or anyone i know, because its all in the humor. This game also has animal cruelty, but that shouldn't stop you from playing because you can choose to be cruel to the animals,or not. My overall opinion with this game is that the independent developers(Running With Scissors) who made this game worked with everything they had, and they ended up making a highly playable and fun game that is different and doesn't disappoint. Try it and see what you think.

But after a couple of hours the novelty wears off and what your left with, is a standard FPS game.

The real selling point of this game, is it's non politically-correct attitude, other than that there's nothing else to this game.

Yes it's great fun being able to urinate on people and watch them throw up.

Yes it's funny to be able to stuff a cat on the end of your shotgun and use it as a siliencer.

Yes it's funny to be able to shoot the c**p out of religious fanatics, rednecks, tree loving protesters and parents against video game violence.

And yes it's even funny hearing people (and your character) swearing all the time.

BUT after the novelty wears off, what are you left with? Not a lot.

The basic premise of the game is you have certain errands to run each day (things like pick up the milk, cash your pay check, urinate on your fathers grave, that sort of thing), but unfortunately things always go wrong (like being attacked by the parents against video games, just after you have been fired from your job with a Video games developer). The errands themself are all quite original and funny and do make you wonder at times how the programmers really think. But there is one HUGE problem with this game, that makes it almost unplayable and that is the loading times between different sections of the map. Now on some errands you have to cross the entire town, which means you'll have to go through 3 or 4 load sections before you reach your goal, and go through 3 or 4 load sections to get to the next. This in itself is pretty bad programming, but for each one of these loads to take 2-3 minutes each, that's completely unforgiveable!! Now I know it's not my PC, as I've got a pretty high spec one (XP3000+, ATI 9700pro, 1.5GB DDR, and Maxtor 7200 rpm HD's), so I checked the net and found out that everybody has the same problem, but there is a patch that reduces this loading time, which I downloaded and applied; but it didn't seem to change anything on my copy. Oh well, never mind, eh?!

Postal 2 is a really funny game and an original take on the first person shooter game, but besides the very adult humour there is nothing else here that hasn't been done better in other games. Buy it for the novelty value only, otherwise get something better like MOHAA.
