    It makes fun of activists, policeman, rednecks, postmen, etc. Breaking the fourth wall many times during the second post made such a Neo out of post (his raincoat and glasses may be a reference, and a T-shirt with aliens may refer to the first P1 scenario) which means that jokes at multiple meetings, when arresting criminals, jokes when throwing a boomerang machete (and fingers are still in place, thank you very much) about some miracle his fingers were in place in my opinion Dude thanks society
    and much more
    The game is very funny, the whole world and the Inhabitants Caricature Phrases (but he was so quiet) and Screams Amuse the Dude's comment when shooting or roasting people funny and funny and witty referring to the Master and Margarita, Stepchildren of the Universe (This is for Mom, And this is for Dad, And this is for Baby Johnny, And this is for Momo the Space Monkey), Stay Alive, Planet of the Apes (Chuck Heston), The Doors and many others
    The dude very often breaks the Fourth Wall with frequent arrests, RWS itself is present, Calls all props cars, Says that the Designer smoked when meeting Mike J., When detained, accuses the criminal of actions because of which the game is not perceived in the series and makes the character so Neo
    The dude makes fun of the game because the character realizes that he is in the game and everything is not real
    This game makes fun of Greenpeace and various activists
    The Game Makes Fun of Moms Against Games, Anti-Games Activists It is most absurd that these same activists did not understand humor, Anti-Games Activists whose games Games generate Violence, Themselves Storm the Office and Themselves play their own games that can be found in the Mall, which, as it were says that they are hypocrites. The same Activists have banned the selected game in some countries, this is such an absurdity and idiocy
    With regards to the huge Arsenal of weapons in the game, the best system of deconstruction (deconstruction) of Peds
    I have never had so much fun playing with Machete, Axe, Pruning Shears
    Scissors are a good weapon, but more of a reference to the RWS themselves
    Shotgun,Double-barreled shotgun at close range
    M16A2 - Good weapon, but only at medium-long distances
    Matches, Gasoline, Deodorant with a lighter - a very fun weapon, also with this weapon you can see Detailed textures of burning, sometimes peds run and die For a long time, but this is only More Fun
    Grenades, Dynamite are very complex weapons and not always extremely fast killing games
    Violence and the Dude, the Characters and the Absurd Situations themselves in the Game make the game fun and frivolous
    because of which she cannot promote Violence in any way at all
    I consider it Absurd and Censored to ban this game in other countries
    The game is very deep, if you look and delve into

    This game is a one big middle finger on anything. Evrything here was satirized. LGBTQ and much more. Pee on people, put cats on your mighty weapon and finally ask people to sign your pition and then kill them after they decline. An absolute time-killer. Recommended.

    an amazing game. the story is really good, packed with obscure humor, violence, easter eggs and refferences. its replayable as there are many ways to complete each day and errand. it doesnt contain any major issues or bugs. for a game this old its very up to date when it comes to the story and im hoping we will see a remaster one day

    This game is a lot of fun! From start to finish you are given a very unique experience that you most likely won't find anywhere else.
    Basically, in this game you play as The Dude who is a on the surface an average everyman but when pushed to his limits becomes a cynical and violent sociopath. Here, The Dude is sent by his lousy nagging wife to fulfil a series of boring chores. However,    This game is a lot of fun!

Here, The Dude is sent by his lousy nagging wife to fulfil a series of boring chores. However, The Dude is definitely a creative guy and manages to make all of them a violent and blood-soaked adventure.
    This game's is not very good graphically. As a matter a fact the character models look terrible, specifically the textures. The ai is also rather atrocious and very easy to break. Gameplay wise, the whole thing is pretty solid. It is a first-person shooter/adventure game. What you see is very much what you get, and the game is not very unique in that aspect. But that isn't the game's fault, because it knows what it is and dosen't try to be anything else. The game's main feature is the choice mechanic. Pretty much you can play the game one of two ways. The first, the normal way. You do everything exactly how you are supposed to. No violence, no carnage. But there is also the more popular way (and also the main selling point of the game) the violent way. Here, NOTHING is off limits you can steal, rob and murder as you please. Most people will go for the violent way as it is arguably more fun than doing everything by the book. Postal 2 is filled to the brim with different weapons for you to unlock, these range from normal weapons such as machine guns to napalm launchers to CAT SILENCERS. Another thing this game has become notorious for is, it's VERY controversial and downright offensive humor. Humor is subjective but if you like dark/offensive comedy, you will LOVE this game. In general, this game is a blast and truly something special.    … Expand

    Damn. This is some proper dumb fun. The jokes are good most of the time but the gameplay is where this game shines…
    …because this game is ridiculous. It’s like playing a regular show episode. Return a book and be greeted by a big fire and armed protestors. It’s ridiculously fun.

    One of the weirdest, yet coolest, games I ever played.

    Holy sh... Postal 2 was something. I heard many times of it in the past and how it got banned in many countries, that it does not have any reason to exist and that everything is messed up beyond belief. After Steam recommended me to play this game next, I thought I will give it a shot. Right from the beginning the rumors were    One of the weirdest, yet coolest, games I ever played.

    Holy sh... Postal 2 was something. I heard many times of it in the past and how it got banned in many countries, that it does not have any reason to exist and that everything is messed up beyond belief. After Steam recommended me to play this game next, I thought I will give it a shot.

    Right from the beginning the rumors were true. It is one big mash of weird stuff, adult jokes, references to other games and media and vile crap. I loved it immediately. Running with Scissors said that people must not take this game seriously, and they where right. Everything is one big joke, but a good joke.

    The graphics are impressive for the time and the sound is good. I also specifically love the AI. Although it can be tricked easy, on normal occasions, it is very advanced and self-thinking. There is so much going on around you and the people in the game all mind their own business before you pump them full of lead for no apparent reason.

    There were some annoyances like the constant crashing of the game on random moments and getting stuck more often than cat barf on a carpet but this I took for granted.

    I loved the artwork (especially on the achievement tiles), the jokes, the many references to other games, TV shows and modern-day problems and the constant satire on the world. Many times I asked myself: “How did they come up with this stuff?”

    Running with Scissors also tells you the story of how they got problems with their publisher and instead of placing a note on their site or cutting the game short, they hilariously made fun of the “evil” corporation that turns their game and feature games into sh!t. The constant criticism of the coming Postal III in the game is hilarious. They even make you literally piss on it many times. It is something I never saw in a game yet. They were right, Postal III sucks ass what I saw and have read about it.

    Just when I thought I saw it all, Postal 2 still surprised me with new and original content and humor until the end of the game.

    For me collecting the ridiculous 89 achievements from the main game and Paradise Lost was a real challenge, one I was happy to accept. It took me some time, but I finally did it. Completing the game and DLC on Postal mode was one of the hardest things I personally achieved in gaming so far. But it was possible, so I went for it.

    In conclusion, this game is one big mess of all the wrong you would not teach to your kids, but it is an amazing game. The effort from Running with Scissors is great and you can see immediately that they put their heart and soul in this title.

    Postal 2 gave me some hard-earned laughter, fun and challenge. I loved every minute of it.

    Definitely recommend this game!    … Expand

    hace unos días este juego cumplió 20 años de su lanzamiento. Este juego es muy bueno, lo que me fastidia es como tenemos que pasar los diversos puntos del mapa pero lo bueno es que es divertido porque podemos orinar en las personas y poner un gato en nuestra escopeta y matar personas .

    This is one of the best games I have ever played. From getting milk, to killing video game protesters, to pissing on Osama bin laden. If I had to explain this game to someone I would say that this is GTA but from the news perspective.

    In Postal 2, the player takes on the role of the Postal Dude, a tall and thin red-headed man with a goatee, sunglasses, a black leather trench coat, and a T-shirt with a grey alien's face printed on it.

Postal Dude lives in a dilapidated trailer on land behind a house in the small town of Paradise, Arizona, with his nagging wife, who is identified in the credits as simply "The **** The game's levels are split into days of the week starting Monday and finishing Friday. At the beginning of each day, Postal Dude is given several tasks to accomplish, such as "get milk", "confess sins", and other seemingly mundane tasks. The objective of Postal 2 is to finish all of the tasks throughout the week, and the player can accomplish these tasks in any way they wish, be it as peacefully and civilly as possible, or as violently and chaotically as possible. It is possible, if occasionally difficult, to complete most tasks without engaging in battle, or at least, harming or killing other characters, as evidenced by the game's tagline: "Remember, it's only as violent as you are!" The daily tasks can be accomplished in any order the player desires, and the game also includes one task that is activated only when Postal Dude urinates, in which the player is tasked with getting treatment for gonorrhea after Postal Dude discovers he has the infection. Throughout the course of the game, Postal Dude must put up with being provoked by other characters on a regular basis. He is given the finger, mugged, attacked by various groups of protesters, and is harassed by an obnoxious convenience store owner/terrorist and his patrons who cut before Postal Dude in the "money line". During the game, Postal Dude also encounters a marching band, a murderous toy mascot named Krotchy, the Paradise Police Department and its SWAT team, overzealous ATF agents, the National Guard, an eccentric religious cult, cannibalistic butcher shop workers, fanatical al-Qaeda terrorists, and former child actor Gary Coleman, among many others. By Friday afternoon, the final day in the game, the apocalypse occurs and societal collapse soon follows, with all law and order breaking down. Cats begin to fall out of a darkly-colored sky, and almost everyone in town becomes heavily armed, with random gun battles breaking out in the streets. Despite this, Postal Dude returns home to his trailer as normal, where he then gets into an argument with his wife, who demands that Postal Dude explain why he never picked up the "rocky road" she asked for at the beginning of the game. Postal 2 then ends with a gunshot being heard, before being kicked to the end credits.… Expand

    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.

    If the controversial content isn't enough to turn off players, the game's annoying technical problems will. The length and frequency of load times between levels is the biggest problem.
