    What the violence and the trash content as well as toilet humour in this game does is offuscate the lack of game art section and put a rag upon the boring game world and storyline.
    The sarcasm, satire and the overall fun of the content barely makes it worth playing.

    5. Enemies and areas are all unique as well

    Sound/Music (8/10):
    Sounds are enjoyable if someone talks the player can clearly hear where it's coming from. The sounds of guns really make you feel how much damage it does. Although voice acting is not really good in this game, most of the dialogues are funny. Music in this game is almost none existent, and where it does would not last long. There are so many places when you hear music, and you get this badass feeling, just to realize it's already ended.

    Controls (8/10):
    Controls are a bit whacky, I'm not saying it's bad, but in the end, you'll have so many weapons and I found it difficult to alternate between them, but overall I had no problem controlling Postal Dude.

    Gameplay (9/10):
    I didn't have so much fun for a really long time, I can't give it 10, because, in the end, the game became a bit freaky/predictable for my taste, all in all, it has been a great experience. Sure there were grinding and boring or too fast days, but most of them weren't.

    Story (10/10):
    The story is all about plot twists, and given how much choice you have this game has a lot of replay value. The background story is that the Postal Dude and his wife moves to Paradise. The wife orders Dude to do shopping and other stuff around the town. And the story comes from the town's unusual population, which is a really great critic of society.

    Postal 2 can easily be looked at as a game that's controversial and nothing else, but that's not the case.

    Postal 2 is a game that can be clever, and has some good gameplay elements. As the developers say, the game is as violent as you are, which is correct. You can complete the entire game without killing a single npc, although it requires a lot of patience, skill, and manipulation of the A.I.. To add to that, you can also complete the game killing everything you see, which can also be difficult depending on what difficulty you're on. The game also provides good level design, such as in the napalm factory mission, and you have to avoid getting getting set on fire, or falling to death by using platforming.

    The genius of the game lies in the mix of good game design and doing something the way you want to, no matter how crude or obscene it is. For that reason, it has a lot of replay value.

    Also, you can play the game for hours without doing a single errand. One day, I spent 4 hours just desrtoying everything without even completing anything. You can just go in a game and do that, and it still has tons of replay value.

    The developers also keep the game up to date, by releasing patches for the game's bugs and glitches. If you look at some of the complaints about the bugs on Steam, you can actually see the developers responding to them, and giving advice on how to fix the issue.

    With the positives, I also have some criticisms. One problem many players face when they play this game are game crashes. They can get really annoying if you're playing on a higher difficulty. The engine can't handle the numbers the game throws at it, and so it crashes. Another criticism I have are the FPS drops. I'm pretty sure that my computer exceeds the limits of Postal 2, and my FPS can still drop to 30 or 20 at times. Sometimes when I'm in a crowded area and start shooting, it'll freeze for a few seconds, and then resume to normal.

    In conclusion, Postal 2 is a great game that you should check out if you haven't. I'd love to give it a 10/10 but sadly due to these criticisms I'll have to give it an 8/10. I can't wait until Postal 4 comes out!

    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

    Also Postal Dudes voice actor is just so good.

    Postal 2 provides an intriguing premise to players that like a little bit of edge to their gaming: decide how much the world around you pisses you off, and act accordingly.

    Postal 2 provides an intriguing premise to players that like a little bit of edge to their gaming: decide how much the world around you pisses you off, and act accordingly. Jaded with your shallow, sex-obsessed, politically correct surroundings, you start the game off outside your trailer, tasked with menial chores bestowed upon by your nagging wife.

    The idea is that while trying to complete these simple errands, you are so inconvenienced by what you encounter that you simply will opt to pull out a machine gun and start taking people out. The reality is that you're usually just dealing with a line of a few people. Besides how superficial everyone in the game you encounter is, I didn't really feel like the violent route was the only way to complete the game's tasks. However, if you don't go the violent route, you are in for a really boring game.

    This poor attempt at the illusion of choice was underwhelming, but I decided to play the game the way it's meant to be played, and went all out with the arsenal of weapons the game provides. This proves to be pretty entertaining at first; while the gunplay in the game is mediocre at best (this is no AAA shooter), blowing people's heads off with a shotgun is pretty satisfying, as is pouring gasoline onto people and lighting it up. I even got a good chuckle out of pissing on people, things, and places, at least for a little while. The game definitely offers some inventive weapons that are satisfying to play with.

    The problem with Postal 2 is that this all gets old after a short time, and as previously implied, there isn't really a lot of freedom in the game. You'll find secret passages here and there, but it's nothing that other games haven't done before, and it's pretty bland here. The sexual innuendos used to name a lot of the game's locations are funny at first, but they tire out fairly quickly, and there is nothing more to the facade of the jokes other than the names themselves (there isn't additional content to explore).

    The missions really are just menial chores, which aren't much fun. Even if you decide to try to complete the whole game non-violently, the game throws random sequences at you that involve terrorists of various kinds, which are pretty much deux ex machinas, forcing intense action moments upon you whether you like it or not. The game would have been a lot more interesting had it provided some serious challenges that could be completed in various ways, which several other games out there offer.

    The last problem with Postal 2 is that the satire just isn't very smart. If you want some better sharp-edged satire, then something like the South Park RPGs would probably suit you better. The humor here is pretty juvenile, and while it was funny enough to make me laugh for the first while, it grows repetitive.

    Postal 2 had a lot of potential, but it just doesn't offer enough to be worth playing over other games in the same vein.

    Postal 2's black humor and insane violence at short bursts provide cathartic release while still being a relatively challenging experience despite its numerous slogs through its uninspired open world that requires a loading screen every two minutes.

While the warning at the beginning detailing offensive content is welcome, I found much of the humor in the game relatively lax compared to what conservatives have been telling me. Overall the game's pace is what keeps it from becoming enjoyable all the time since action is only available in setpieces, while you can cause mayhem in the open streets, much of it just devolves into pissing and killing people till you hit the next loading screen. And the Apocalypse Weekend portion of the game is so dragged out and stretched that I almost gave up on the game. The shooting mechanics work really well for the time and the weapons and their feel to use are on point despite the hit detection not always being on point. Postal 2 deserves its cult following but only because it parodies everything that wants to be politically correct, and I had good laughs while doing playing. Expand

    It's just absolute trash. I'm glad I didn't buy it: it was gifted to me by a friend who had bought a four pack. No one else wanted the other two copies.

    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.

    For me, it never gets old to just run around the street with an axe, chopping the police up, lighting them on fire and pissing them out.

    This game gets a lot of unnecessary hate, what with people saying it's the worst game ever, but if Postal 2 is the worst game you've ever played, then you are a lucky MF. Postal 2 would be a generic FPS were it not for it's intent to offend everyone with jokes. Some of them are funny and most of them are 2nd-rate South Park jokes. There really isn't a lot to say about Postal 2.

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?

    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...

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.

Skins are ok but every woman has the same body and the damage system is very much lacking. Shoot someone in the leg or head the seem to take the same amount of damage. This game is for the crowd that either never gets it (you know what I mean) or hasn't had it in a long time. It's all tease but the tease is flawed by dated graphics, repetive load times and trying to rip off GTA games but with the class. Nothing is really funny other than RWS trying to be funny. Not a good game and theres other games that really need to be played. Like XXX BMX its all show no go. Expand

    While not as interactive as I would have liked, Postal 2 is still a hell of a lot of fun. Guns, Crude humour, Cat Silencers and the like make for a very funny game. Yes, IGN lied their assholes off - The load times are NOT 2-3 minutes. What a tosser that Ivan Anushead is. Good : Physics, Pissing :), Humour Bad : Gore NOWHERE near as violent as I had inticipated.

No leg and arm dismemberments with a shotgun??! Cmon, SOF 1 even had full body dismemberments - Lazy punks! Only so much you can do with the weapons, and after awhile the NPC's feel waaaay to fake. Wow, ANOTHER 'KICK ME' guy.. joy... Also had some NPC bumping problems, lol, they would get stuck running into eachother. Expand

    If you're expecting a new Half-Life like FPS, you WILL be disappointed... if you know what this game is about, and are the kind of sick f*ck who wants to play it, you will absolutely LOVE it... (i did) it could've been more inovative tho, and did have the occasional problems... all in all, i give it a very strong 7/10.

    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.
  2. 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.

    Until someone boxes up syphilis and tries to sell it at retail, Postal 2 is the worst product ever foisted upon consumers. [July 2003, p.90]
