Postal 2

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.

Postal 2 was released in 2002 and is the sequel to the lesser known 1996 game "Postal".The game did not sell very well, however it definitely has a cult following.Most of the games popularity comes from the controversy.The game is extremely violent(more so than Grand Theft Auto) and the fact that you are committing such acts on (mostly) innocent pedestrians makes it even worse.You can gun people down with very bloody results, blow a person's head off with a shotgun, decapitate someone with a shovel, burn people alive, urinate on them etc.There is not much of a plot to the game.You are the "Postal Dude" living in the small town of "paradise" with your nagging wife and dog.You must complete a variety of tasks each day, however most of them end up with something going wrong and you having to get out of it.You meet various kinds of people each day from angry violent protesters to angry terrorists(who all look like Osama Bin Laden) to corrupt priests gay rednecks.What makes Postal 2 a great game is the social commentary.The game shows angry parents protesting violent video games at the actual game company that made Postal 2.Your character works there and you can even kill the creator of the game Vince Desi.The game is very un P.C and that's why some people will hate it.The graphics are fairly good, especially for 2002.My main problem with this game is the load times.Every time you move from city to city, or even a big building, you get this annoying semi-long load screen.This can be very annoying if you have to walk far distances to get to your destination.Another thing many people will not like is that the game is much too short.It took me about 7-8 hours max to complete first time.Keep in mind, it's not all that easy.The easiest mode in the game is fairly easy, but the other ones are fairly hard.Overall, Postal 2 is a great game filled with graphic violence and hilarious social-commentary.You probably will not find it in stores, so either try an online site or maybe even downloading 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.

Postal 2 is a really awesome game! I recommend this to anyone who loves violent games. This is one of those games that don't have a plot and all you do is run errands for your wife and while your at it, wreak havok on the entire city! Really, this is a great game, if you ever get a chance see it on store shelves you should pick it up, it won't disappoint!
