    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 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.    … Expand

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!

    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.    … 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

    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    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    This is the OG video game masterpiece that inspired Nintendo to go on and maker Zelda Breath of the wild.

    An open world that rewards exploration and offers the player several mechanics that can be used and combined however they want, to achieve their goals in creative ways that nobody else was even thinking about.

    This game is great and extremely fun. It might be one of the most controversial games ever, but Postal 2 is a really fun and ultra-violent game to spend your time with. If you love open-world games or satirical comedic games, you definitely need to play this game. This game has extremely hilarious political and pop culture satire that will make you laugh out loud. It's a must-play for everyone.

    Portal 2 is definitely one of the best games of 2011, maybe ever. It is a must play for all gamers, because everyone should experience the lovable characters, the challenging yet fair puzzles with the fleshed out Portal mechanic, and one of the best endings in video game history. Classic.

    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.
