Postal 2 may be one of the most underappreciated games of all time scoring below a 7 on almost every gaming website for reasons that are all too vague. A lot of people would like to think they rated it this low because they were afraid of the image it may produce to the public if a decent company or site rated a game this disturbing really high or above average. Postal 2 boasts some of the most innovative engines to come out of an undergroud company ever... it's liquid/water engine is absolutely amazing, this imagine allows water particle to form larger puddles as if cohesion is actually happening. The water will follow elevation... pour down hills, off ledges and then make puddles at the bottom. Postal 2 has relatively friendly controls and is for the most part pretty good in the gameplay department. With a good feature that will help you if you get stuck, most fps such as the old Duke Nukem games just to name one had several areas where you could get stuck and you would have to kill yourself, this one moves you out of that spot! The plot behind Postal 2 is to survive... you are given a list of errands that you must run throughout the course of 1 week. On Monday they start of quite easy, "Get Milk," "Get Paycheck," "Cash Paycheck." As simple as these tasks sound they are not. Postal 2 has a sort of "Chaos Theory," meaning that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. For example when you go to "Get Paycheck," you must go to the headquarts of your job, which is Running With Scissors (the company that made Postal 2) and you get your chick. Upon getting your check anti-violent video game activists show up and start attacking and torching the place, these are the "Parents for Decency," who you'll hear chanting, "games are bad they make you bad!" This is just one of the "hate" groups, there is also zealot arabs who look like Osama Bin Laden, just like him. There are the rednecks, butchers, Book Activists, who chant, "save a tree, burn a book!" Postal 2 is packed with crazy, wild and extremely bloody fun. If you love violent video games than this is for you. It is the most absolutely violent game on the market now. This is the only game where you can kill someone with a shovel, then lop their head off and whip out your d*** and urniate all over them... how fun!
Nothing more to say really, if you don't like it, take a look at the release date :) Try to appreciate it for what it is. For people like me who very much enjoy just creating random mayhem, like the people that have spen... Read Full Review
