    When i played this for the first time, i was suspicious about it. I downloaded the patches from RWS-site and started playing. After i stopped playing, i watched the clock: jeez, i had played it over 8 hours! This game is so underestimated. It truly deserves 10/10 or 5/5.

    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    Postal 2...

    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...    … Expand

    A nasty, crude adventure that cause the ignorant to squirm. The main concept isn't the combat or graphics. If you dive into the game without expecting anything, you will truly be rewarded with laughs and entertainment.

    Funniest game ever! Everything here is perfect fun! The only problem I see in the game is the AI. The Nonplayable characters in this game act very strange. Other than that, you have an extremely fun game that will consume hours of your time.

    Underrated, unadultered masterpiece! Running With Scissors title Postal 2 provides choice. You can play through without using any violence or be as violent as you want.

    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.

    A greatest game ever. Not for every people, and not for modern children, but very fun! The most original game ever made. It`s better than Duke Nukem, and more funny than Serious Sam. I love this game

    This game is disgusting, abhorrent, offensive to cultures, homophobic, racist, and promotes violence against women and animals.
    And I loved every second of it!

    This game is fun as **** You can piss on people, shoot their **** heads off, go on a limb chopping rampage. The humor style is unique, and hilarious. With almost 20 different difficulties, it's something you might wanna play more than once. However, if you don't like black/dark humor, you should consider eating some dirt. Just a suggestion.

The fact that the devs are still updating this game with new content in 2016 says a lot too. Just don't let anyone shoot you while your dick is hanging out. Umph, that's going to be sore tomorrow.… 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.

    BRAVO!

    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.

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

    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

    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

    Postal 2 - in short, a game which will confront your prejudices (if any). If the events depicted were real, they would be sickening. They aren't however, and doing crazy things you can't do in real life is precisely what gaming is all about.

    Every aspect of the game is intentionally surreal and humorous, thoroughly wiping its ass and crotch with a wide variety of taboos.

They aren't however, and doing crazy things you can't do in real life is precisely what gaming is all about.

    Every aspect of the game is intentionally surreal and humorous, thoroughly wiping its ass and crotch with a wide variety of taboos. That's why there's such a massive cult following even after all these years - no game has ever come close as no developer has dared to risk their image to this degree. Debauchery at its finest.

    And surprisingly (if you've read any of the hateful reviews), the game is actually pretty damn good in many ways. The sound design is excellent (I'll never forget the shovel *THUNK* sound), exploration is balanced and fun in the typical 90s shooter style plus there's a mad variety of in-game situations and locations given its budget.

    Personally I really enjoy the game's ability to attract politically motivated criticism, yet banal entertainment is precisely what gaming was built on. Weren't most of the successful games throughout history little more than massacre simulations? Did the imps in Diablo really deserve to be be smitten by the thousands, or the soldiers in Red Alert to be torched to death with napalm? What of Mario and his animal-mushroom cruelty?

    There's even an article associating Postal 2 with Gamergate, while in reality the fanbase rarely engages in political discussion. The game is too crazy to spark any serious discussion among its fans so we don't actually know their political views, and in the few cases I have seen it there were actually more progressives - though both sides were unusually civil.

    In a nutshell, I strongly advise ignoring any politically motivated criticism towards the game and to simply make up your own mind. Chances are, you won't regret it.    … 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.

    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]
