POSTAL 2

This game is just fun. I love running around just whacking people then urinating on them. That alone made the game worth it. I don't know what else to say...The game is fun. That's the best way I can put it.

After seeing the movie adaptation, because it was on Netflix and I enjoyed watching a friend play Postal 2, I finally got around to buying the game (during the sale). I am satisfied with my purchase, and would have gladly paid full price, had it not been on sale. Postal 2 is a great way to kill time. It doesn't offer much in the way of storytelling or visuals, but it delivers where you would expect it to the most; cheap laughs and absurdity. The shooting is solid enough, the storyline is ridiculously funny (if you aren't a humorless prude, that is), and the gameplay is non-linear. Expect South Park-esque humor, i.e. no boundaries. I have few gripes with the game, but nothing major. The objectives become formulaic, even if unique in their own ways. There is also not a whole lot to do between long walks to missions if you are growing tired of just messing around, exploring, or "going postal." It is for these reasons that I suggest playing the game in smaller doses. It is an entertaining diversion, but lacks immersion and lasting appeal (not to say it doesn't keep bringing you back, but it isn't for power sessions). While these issues are eliminated in the Apocalypse Weekend expansion (which I am only partly through at the moment), it is only because the expansion plays more like a traditional, linear shooter. You finish a mission, you move to the next. There is little or no exploring or walking to other missions. This is both a good thing, as it makes the game easier to digest at times, but also a bad thing, as it removes one of the more interesting aspects of the game. Postal 2 is well worth picking up for a casual diversion, assuming you enjoy the crude humor. Just don't go in expecting a game that will keep you entertained for extended periods of time.

I love this game, it's just one of those games where everything just clicks for me. I've beat this game twice, and spent loads of time just dicking around, havin' fun. The magical thing about this game is you don't have kill anybody, funny that one of the most violent games can also be one of the cleanest. There's a nice way, and there's the Dude's way of doing things. The weapons are over the top, and quite fun. Cat on an end of a shotgun, you betcha. Rotten cow heads, for the green killer. Scissors for those who run. Used syringes. And if you beat the game napalm piss as a weapon (try not to get any on ya. Sick humor for those who like it. Open world. Crazy ass missions. A week that makes Ash Williams week look weak. Gore, and loads of it. Fun for every one of your personalities.

short and simple: mature content- check stupidity- check dirty, silly,satire humour- check this is a game to have some fun playing with the physics of the engine and the world built by running with scissors. good for modders to experiment. made to laugh and stress out after a working day.

Basic plot: Go out and get your paycheck, then buy milk. Or just play with the many clones of Osama bin Laden in the sewer.... because that's a thing. Or none of these things. It's a small open world, with interesting options. The gameplay is simple. The game itself is not difficult, but why should it be? You can either hang around playing this for 24 hours and finish it, or play for 10-15 minutes a day to relax. Perfect.
