Postal 2

Postal 2 is my first and only paid game that I bought for fifty pesos in the Philippines a long time ago just to test if it works. And let me tell you that this is one of the best cheapest games that I ever played since high school.

Aside from the previous installment. Postal 2 retcons in a less edgy and more comedic style in the mix. Rather than just slaughtering innocents and police officers for no reason but to "salt the earth" Instead Postal 2 shows about the Postal Dude (the actual name of the protagonist) doing errands and going into random situations out of nowhere. The game even includes hate groups which is another term for enemy factions or gang members. This means that instead of Postal Dude being or becoming the actual villain. The hate groups became the villains who use lethal weapons which makes killing enemies a more fun way to do.

The weapons started off as normal then completely insane that I can use a cat to insert the gun and use it like a silencer to increase the damage. Taking health pipes to smoke and I can even eat food in the game too. But one thing I love about the game is the machete because not just I can slice my enemies with it but I can even use it as a boomerang to perfectly kill my enemies with ease.

I was so lucky I manage to buy this game at a very cheap price a very long time ago. And I would definitely try to play another postal game that plays like this.

Postal 2 is a hilarious video game the gameplay isn't good it's pretty meh but it is so stupid that it becomes amazing. The gimmick of postal 2 is really odd it's a FPS where you do odd jobs most would do in their lifetime like grabbing a steak or cashing a work paycheque. Postal 2 is a truly hilarious and fun little fps but I would call it an immersive simulator, if you don't know what an immersive simulator is it's a fps where the shooting and gunplay aren't the fun part but doing funny or cool things and postal 2 is really really funny it's so random it can be racist, crude, silly and way more if you haven't played it play is it's cheap on steam on a sale please get it.

But after a couple of hours the novelty wears off and what your left with, is a standard FPS game.

The real selling point of this game, is it's non politically-correct attitude, other than that there's nothing else to this game.

Yes it's great fun being able to urinate on people and watch them throw up.

Yes it's funny to be able to stuff a cat on the end of your shotgun and use it as a siliencer.

Yes it's funny to be able to shoot the c**p out of religious fanatics, rednecks, tree loving protesters and parents against video game violence.

And yes it's even funny hearing people (and your character) swearing all the time.

BUT after the novelty wears off, what are you left with? Not a lot.

The basic premise of the game is you have certain errands to run each day (things like pick up the milk, cash your pay check, urinate on your fathers grave, that sort of thing), but unfortunately things always go wrong (like being attacked by the parents against video games, just after you have been fired from your job with a Video games developer). The errands themself are all quite original and funny and do make you wonder at times how the programmers really think. But there is one HUGE problem with this game, that makes it almost unplayable and that is the loading times between different sections of the map. Now on some errands you have to cross the entire town, which means you'll have to go through 3 or 4 load sections before you reach your goal, and go through 3 or 4 load sections to get to the next. This in itself is pretty bad programming, but for each one of these loads to take 2-3 minutes each, that's completely unforgiveable!! Now I know it's not my PC, as I've got a pretty high spec one (XP3000+, ATI 9700pro, 1.5GB DDR, and Maxtor 7200 rpm HD's), so I checked the net and found out that everybody has the same problem, but there is a patch that reduces this loading time, which I downloaded and applied; but it didn't seem to change anything on my copy. Oh well, never mind, eh?!

Postal 2 is a really funny game and an original take on the first person shooter game, but besides the very adult humour there is nothing else here that hasn't been done better in other games. Buy it for the novelty value only, otherwise get something better like MOHAA.

This game really does rock. it has humor,action, and Gary Coleman. the only thing is that you need to like games, and violent ones to appreciate this game,but once you do you will be in for a great adventure that makes you Go Postal. Another thing, this game has some offensive subject and might offend some people, but thats what i thought and i didn't offend me or anyone i know, because its all in the humor. This game also has animal cruelty, but that shouldn't stop you from playing because you can choose to be cruel to the animals,or not. My overall opinion with this game is that the independent developers(Running With Scissors) who made this game worked with everything they had, and they ended up making a highly playable and fun game that is different and doesn't disappoint. Try it and see what you think.

I'm serious like you can do anything in this game. I have to admit it's addicting but not to much for a 14 or 15 year old game. I like the Postal Dude like when he got arrested "Hay that ain't my fault! Arrest the kid with the keyboad!", man his dialouge is very memeroble. Good game worth the buy. 10.5/10
