Postal 2

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!

Postal 2 is my first and only paid game that I bought for fifty pesos in the Philippines a long time ago just to test if it works. And let me tell you that this is one of the best cheapest games that I ever played since high school.

Aside from the previous installment. Postal 2 retcons in a less edgy and more comedic style in the mix. Rather than just slaughtering innocents and police officers for no reason but to "salt the earth" Instead Postal 2 shows about the Postal Dude (the actual name of the protagonist) doing errands and going into random situations out of nowhere. The game even includes hate groups which is another term for enemy factions or gang members. This means that instead of Postal Dude being or becoming the actual villain. The hate groups became the villains who use lethal weapons which makes killing enemies a more fun way to do.

The weapons started off as normal then completely insane that I can use a cat to insert the gun and use it like a silencer to increase the damage. Taking health pipes to smoke and I can even eat food in the game too. But one thing I love about the game is the machete because not just I can slice my enemies with it but I can even use it as a boomerang to perfectly kill my enemies with ease.

I was so lucky I manage to buy this game at a very cheap price a very long time ago. And I would definitely try to play another postal game that plays like this.

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

If you're the kind of person who burned ants with a magnifying glass when you were young, or you think that cutting a dog's ears off is great fun, you should definitely play this game. It will make you happy. If you're lucky, it may even stimulate the negative emotions that you were more than likely experiencing at the time.

Although I hate to admit it, Postal 2 can be fun. You get to throw petrol around and set it alight, which is something no other game that I know of can offer. You get to cause trouble generally, in fact, and what, you might ask, is wrong with that? That sounds like fun, doesn't it? The problem with Postal 2 is that, after a short session of playing it, I started to feel ill. I felt like I had just done something naughty, like murdered a prostitute or something similar. This feeling doesn't go away as long as the game is installed on your computer.

I played it with my friend. He felt this way too.

If you have no morals, or are, clinically, a sociopath, then you'll love this game. Otherwise, stick to games which let you explore worlds where people are violent for a reason.
