I've played through Postal 2 a few times and I must say, there are very few (if any) games like it out there. Yes there is GTA but that game lacks spirit and ambiance, Postal on the other hand is full to the brim with both of those qualities. It's very fun to play after a disappointing day and I can feel for the protagonist because I have a similar lifestyle and so do many other poor and uneducated Americans that work for minimum wage so it's easy to relate to "The Postal Dude" in many ways. I have tried to complete the game without killing before but it's just too much fun and I absolutely love the gasoline+match combo as it essentially creates a wall of fire. Another thing I love about this game is that its full of humor and a mundane task such as cashing a paycheck for the postal dude turns into a struggle for survival, the missions and writing is great although a bit immature but if your not an overly serious indiviual you'll most likely laugh out loud a few times while playing. I'm warning you though, it's one of the most violent games I have played and even if you try to be a pacifist it's unlikely you will stay that way for long!
The game has a good combat system/soundtrack and I highly recommend it to a person fond of Diablo 2 style single player games, the story can be a tad flaky at times but if you don't take it too seriously you will find it entertaining.
