POSTAL 2

It's kind of funny to look at the Postal games and see how what was once shocking humor is now more or less par for the course. Decapitation? Sure thing! Frequent course language? Ho-hum. Urinating on everything in sight? Well, okay, that bit hasn't been imitated just yet. The game puts you in the shoes of the Postal Dude, a short-fused sociopath with a shock-jock voice. You're given a list of menial deeds by your nagging wife, and the game leaves you alone to do them more or less as you see fit. This "open-world" aspect of the game works decently, although frequent level-load triggers can annoy, and the inept AI can often be more annoying than amusing when it starts random firefights with itself for the hundredth time. While the concept behind the game is solid, the actualization is lacking and the game feels like it's in desperate need of a few more months of solid polishing. That said, it can be fun, and there's definitely worse ways to while away a rainy afternoon than throwing molotovs at elephants.

The guns are a lot of fun, the graphics are fine, the mechanics are neat. The quests and story are there, nothing special. It's a disgusting game, meant to offend people for the sake of offending them. If you don't like that, better not buy it. I think it's a very solid game. I keep coming back to this game and finishing it again. :-) The weekend in paradise expansion is mediocre at best though. Oh and if you don't like violence, you don't need to kill any innocent people at all to finish the game. No need to be an asshole. The game simply allows you to be a completely perverted sociopath and psychopath and it also gives you plenty of reasons to act like that, but it doesn't force you (with the exception of the mediocre expansion). Not sure why we don't get a Linux version though. That's pretty disappointing given that the Steam version works on Linux as well.

Postal 2 holds a dear and special place in my heart. Drop into a world unfettered by the sensibilities of society to embark on an engrossing journey to... avoid the ugly ol' ball and chain's incessant b*tching. Postal 2 breaths life into the long pummeled and squelched lungs of the child within you while providing a rich playground in which to rediscover the freedom you once imagined and longed to enjoy from the safe distance only video games can provide. Postal 2 is a treasure I'm thankful to have discovered. For me every bit of this game holds a spiritual political and philosophical charm that brings me running back every now and then to escape reality. This game is not so much an argument for freedom of expression as it is a beautifully assertive expression of freedom. Absolutely NOT recommended for the young or the impressionable. Pairs well with the devil's lettuce though you might get lost, forget what you were supposed to do next, and end up having a lot of fun anyway. penis
