Postal 2

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.

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 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.

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
