    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.

    This is not the first POSTAL, this is a funny and crazy game, and therefore it is still very popular, you will say, that this review is so boring, and I will answer you ... the game is awesome, and I give it 10!

    Graphics (8/10):
    The graphics are still acceptable to this day in my opinion, they managed to make the graphics indicate how you do in the. For example, when you smoke and wait a few minutes, on the HUD your heart rate builds up to an incredible value, and after that, it takes some damage, as the Postal Dude would say: "Withdrawal is a ****

    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.    … Expand

    An irreverent game with a mixture of aggressive humor, frenetic action and tons of blood to have fun without paying much attention to the context that they present to us.

    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    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!    … Expand

    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.

    Also all the avengers die in Infinity War, you're welcome

    One of the best games that exist (at least in my opinion)

    Funny , black mood, criticizes society and and it was very risky by the time it came out.

    It is not a game that I recommend to everyone due the content, but if you like black mood this game is for you.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    A masterpiece.
    The graphics is awesome for a 2003 game, the gameplay is excellent because you can do what you want. The story isn't very edited but it's ok. The sounds aren't very realistics and personally i didn't like them.
    But anyway you have to buy it, now.

    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.
