    Leave any reservations at the door before playing Postal 2 and you're in for a good time. Cut people to pieces, light them on fire then urinate on them to exinguish the flames or stick a cat on the end of a shotgun and fire away. Or don't do any of this and just be a nice, normal citizen.

    In this game you're The Dude, going around doing things like collecting milk and a paycheck, but

    In this game you're The Dude, going around doing things like collecting milk and a paycheck, but something always manages to go horribly wrong and you're forced to murder everyone in your near vicinity. It's like a poor man's Grand Theft Auto, without the driving, constant cinematics and only mimimal social commentary.

    Damn good fun for anyone who doesn't have a stick up their butt and the expansion packs and recent DLC are all great also.

You don't have to kill anyone and why sometimes you just can't help yourself. I love the idea. Do simple chores and if you want "go postal". The game is just everday life with your wicked twist. The dialog will leave you speechless. Which by the way is a good thing. After you lay a couple of people to rest you may have a smart ass remark. It's a pull from Duke Nukem but done better. The "dude" is such a hardass that it reminds me of "Ash" on Army of Darkness. One tacky and unrelated "feature" to the game is the ablity to pee. Yep, you can pee on people. It's funny but get's old quick. The people react the same. Scream if your "thingie" is to close to them, or laugh if your afar. The technology in the game is okay. It's NOT a programming master peice on the tech side. It is however on the "senario/gameplay" side. There are a few bugs here and there but nothing annoying. You get stuck everyonce in a while but they programmed a way out. The game will actually see that your stuck and move you out. Cool feature. Graphics are not that great and for some reason they need a great system. It's more like the overhead of the Unreal 2 engine than the actual graphics used in the game. Which is a shame. I think the game could have been done in Quake3 engine with better results. However I am sure due to price the Unreal engine was the best choice *They are constantly in court with The US Postal Service for trademark infriengments. I think this game deserves a spot in history. The spot would be displayed in the United States Congress chamber. It would be taunting them and laughing while saying "You ban me, and I will go Postal on your ass" ----Dave Expand

    A great game! Alot like GTA, do what you want, but with a few missions involved. Also very funny, and laid-back. If you fail a mission, its not the end of the game like some other games like this. If you fail a mission, which is hard to do, just shoot they guy who made you fail, simple!

    This is basically a joke sandbox game with wit at its center, and the jokes are still funny even though they are really old. People **** about the graphics need to stop suspecting everything to look like GTA 5 and realize this game is almost 11 years old and it is still profitable.

    The game has a story of basically running arons, but unlike most games it doesn't push you to do the main objective, you can explore all you want kill all you want and screw around all you want without having to worry about doing the missions.

    On Steam you can buy the game for 9 bucks, is it worth 9 bucks for a 11 year old game, maybe not but it is defiantly worth it on sale and if you have some extra money to spend.

    Overall a score of 8 is good for this game.

    This game is just instantly classic and a joy to play, of course it seems a little dated (Unreal Engine 2) But it has a dev who, unlike other certain developers, actually continue to support a game which they created over 10 years ago

    this is the best game I have ever played it's my favourite game but anyway lets talk about the actual game I love the weapon selection with so many different weapons of all types from sledgehammers to smg the weapon selection is absolutely banging and the way this game combines first person shooter to open world game is magnificent the game is funny and over the top with exploding heads,this is the best game I have ever played it's my favourite game but anyway lets talk about the actual game I love the weapon selection with so many different weapons of all types from sledgehammers to smg the weapon selection is absolutely banging and the way this game combines first person shooter to open world game is magnificent the game is funny and over the top with exploding heads, dark humour, swearing, pissing on people, vomiting it's all here

    lets talk about the story now so the story is basically on Monday your wife sends you out to run some errands like picking up milk stuff like that then when you find you finish all of your errands you go on to Tuesday and then the same cycle repeats over and over until you get to Friday now once you finish Friday you have the option to do Saturday and Sunday and as a bonus you can buy the paradise lost DLC

    Now I know what your thinking "this sounds really repetitive and boring" but it's really not because almost every time you finish an errand something happens example: in one mission you are at a church to confess your sins and then when you go to leave there is terrorist attack and you have to kill all the terrorists

    This game can be a blast with all the different wacky and random things that happen another thing I want to talk about is the GTA element of the game there is a wanted meter and the police will chase after you and it's pretty fun trying to escape from them but if they catch you they put you in jail and the only way to escape jail is if you light a match and throw it at the fire alarm then all the cell doors will open and you have run past some police officers and find the exit

    Now let's talk about some negatives some of the missions are extremely painfully hard to beat and i play this on average mode but trust me this game is very hard even on average difficulty but there is tons of other difficulty settings so don't worry it won't be to hard if put it on something like very easy

    Anyway that's pretty much all I have to say about the game its a must play especially now because it's only $1.45 or you can get the postal 2 collection which comes with the DLC and it's only $2.38 I have only owned this game for two days and played it for 11 hours but trust this might be one of the best games ever

    I will admit the only reason I bought Postal 2 was to spend the remaining dollar in my Steam wallet during the 2019 Steam Winter Sale event.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by the contents of the game and must say that it was probably the greatest thing I have bought for 99 cents. That’s saying something considering the fact that I have bought an ENTIRE can of Pringles for that same price.

    Postal 2 is a game for terrible people, and I mean that in the best possible way. You play as a psychopath who dresses like Neo from the Matrix if he was superstitious of extra-terrestrial lifeforms. The objective of Postal 2 is to complete a list of seemingly simple everyday tasks, but the town you live in is filled with colorful, insane characters who are for some inexplicable reason all armed to the brink with weapons. You will come face to face with illiterate arsonists, cannibalistic butchers, religious turf wars between Catholic priests and Muslim terrorists, and of course, child actor Gary Coleman.

    One of the key aspects of Postal 2 is that it gives you free reign over how you complete these tasks. For instance, at the beginning of the game, you are given the task of cashing in a paycheck. You could simply wait in line and give the check to the bank employee at the counter, y’know like a normal person, OR you could break into the vault, drop the check, and grab as much money as you can before every police officer within a two mile radius shows up and absolutely obliterates you with a ceaseless barrage of lead. It’s awesome.

    Postal 2 is definetly among the most vulgar games I have ever played. So much so, that there is a dedicated button to unzip your pants so you can p*ss on anything and anyone you desire. Never before have I felt such pity for a non-real character in a video game as when I laid down a sprinkle storm of urine upon on a poor, unsuspecting Postal 2 NPC to the point of which he vomited. I was rewarded for this unholy action with an achievement. That’s the video game equivalent of giving a Nobel Peace Prize to a man who burned down a small village in a third-world nation inhabited by impoverished, starving children.

    At the end of the day, this review doesn’t do Postal 2 justice, and it’s just a game you have to experience for yourself. Or, y’know, you could just buy a can of Pringles. Your call.

    After all, it is a great game. If you want to have some fun after an exhausting day. And want to de charge yourself, it is a perfect selection for you. However, you shouldn't play if you are easily offended, because this game based on dark humour.

Well, the answer is violence. You have to be a complete psychopath to not feel remorse at what you're doing sometimes in this game and the developers know that; so they push it to the absolute limits with extreme violence towards very specific groups of people, jokes that don't always land about killing and not feeling remorse and a huge sense of self parody, since you even get to kill people who work at the development company. The story is pretty much non existent, things just happen and you get to decide, will you stand in the line in the bank or will you burn the people in the line alive with some gasoline? Pay the cashier or shoot him in the face with a shotgun? If you choose to play like a normal person would (which you won't choose, trust me) you will find out that it's very difficult to do that, maybe even impossible. Running with scissors, the devs behind the game, wants you to play as a lunatic, proved even more by the latest part of the game which I won't spoil. Of course, the graphics are way too old now and the game can't hide it's age, but the unreal engine it's worked on is highly playable to this day and the AI is surprisingly cooperative for a game this old. What is also very interesting is that at points I felt like I was playing an fps, at times an RPG (and it's not at all an RPG) and at some times a horror game, which is kind of is. Of course, this review is being written in 2020 and the question is, would I recommend this game today? And the answer is, yes, yes and yes! The drawbacks that keep it at an 8 all have to do with aspects of the game that have to do with it's age it came out. Of course, it's not for everyone and if you are easily offended stay the hell away. This game is for people who have open minds and can take a joke. and also like to blow people heads off with a shotgun that have a cat attached to it's barrel. Expand

    Definitely RWS's best game! Grab a copy off Steam, RWS said they will be offering updates for steam users. Well worth buying to support the Dev's of this classic.

    Postal 2...

    What can I say...the game kicks ass... Yes, it is very controversial...but that is what makes it so damn fun...I mean you can literally do anything...and well those who say it is sluggish or slow in gameplay obviously played it for what may have been like 10 minutes and didnt like all the badass cliche jokes that are in the game...hence they cut it off and came here to

    I can say that if you know sumone insane dont let them play the game unless it helps to prevent them from doing anything bad in real life...

    Now those that say this is like GTA...are right yet wrong...it is like GTA in its free roaming way...but GTA isnt as fun or gory or all out let you do anything game...

    This game will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire ride...and well yes there is Multiplayer now...and it too is not perfect...it seems that the ingame server browser miscalculates the ping sorta like steam's server browser that you can use before entering a game...so yea...for example it may say that you get like 117 ping on a server but when you join you can really have like half of that...so yea...

    The MP also is just as controversial as the SP is so watch out and you have to allow foul language from others to not offend you that much because it is there and will be used...

    The graphix people say are not that good but for the Unreal engine they are actually all pretty tight and nice to view...so yea...

    Now go and blast away your boss and set the army on fire and well if they run towards you and set you on fire...just pee on your self...but be careful not to piss on your self for too long or you may swallow sum...

    Honestly, the first time you sit down to play Postal 2, you should take things with a grain of salt. Its gameplay is completely average -- but its sense of humor and irreverence is something unequaled. You get to fight Gary Coleman. You get to use cats as a machine gun silencer. You can urinate on people. Come on.

    By now, Postal 2 is probably available in the bargain bin for $10.

Postal 2 might fail for matters such as the graphics or the cheesy in-game references to the authors of the game (I'm talking about the various cameos of Vince Desi and the totally random Mike J as the final boss of Apocalypse Weekend), or even the grotesque and trashy sense of humor that seems to be only half ironical and self aware, but... it's fun! And I find this aspect to be seriously underrated by both official reviews and user made ones. It is also not often mentioned and quite noteworthy how the expansion Apocalypse Weekend and modding (in particular a very big mod called AWP made by a certain Kamek) really bring the game to a whole new level of addictiveness and gore for those who are into it, but it's mostly there for the laughs and the sake of exaggeration, don't get too offended for that, of all the possible dumb people who thought at that time that lame "kill Bin Laden" jokes could be funny (and subsequently made flash games and poor parodies about it) and people who think self-insertions are a good idea, these guys were probably the best ones. The result is a good game with some minor **** stains. Hell, it has Gary Coleman and tazmanian cats as gun silencers! Also... piss? (Oh, and by the way the AIs in this game are actually better than plenty of stupidly made AIs from much more famous games such as Skyrim, not much of a point but still worth mentioning) Expand

The ingame AI is not so bad... I mean they do not point up or down with there guns when they shot vertically, they still have the functions such as: running away, kicking a dead body, talking with each other, engaging with static props (such as arcade games) etc. I give this game a 9 out of 10 since it's humorous, and to such a bad game for 2003.

Setting a cat ablaze in the mall, and then finding that it has caused a chaotic flaming domino effect in the food court was relatively inventive and a nice break from the mostly repetetive goings-on. Technically, it's a hastily cobbled together sandbox-like mess, but the potential is there should RWS choose to go for a third try. If they do, I hope they try much harder next time.

They put no effort into it and just depended on the controversy it has to sell all this game, and no its not funny, but beside the bad jokes the gun play is horrible, it doesn't mater if you shoot some one in the face or the leg it will do the same amount of damage. the shotgun doesn't do much more damage than the pistol, and the distances doesn't materthis is not a good game, at all.

    It's a quick fun romp that is more pleasure than pain. But, the utter lack of tact make it more of a play on marketing rather than a quality FPS.
