Summary: Laugh out loud funny for sick puppies
Review: Postal 2 revels in it's unashamed un-PCness. It is racist, violent, scatalogical and includes unspeakable acts of violation against cats (not one for pussy lovers - ahem). It requires a very broad sense of humour and a love of perversity to fully appreciate (hence the high score). Needless to say, I love it!

Reviewers who tire of the endless, seemingly boring, disgusting acts (it gets boring urinating in people's faces etc) are missing the point. Yes, it's boring to keep going up to people in the street and peeing on them but boy does it cut through a queue of people (I hate queuing).

It's not the best in terms of game play with long upload times between areas and lack of interactivity (at least Duke Nukem got to chat to the ladies) but that can be forgiven because the game has real personality. It's the personality of a retarded sex criminal but personality nonetheless. The noise the cat makes when stuck on the end of my shotgun had me laughing out loud.

My only real gripe with the game is that it doesn't go far enough into un-PC territory. How come I can't molest women I meet on the street (although I can expose myself to them)? Why can't I molest corpses (except to micturate on them)? Why aren't there any children to kill? If the indian grocery selling Jihad goat's milk has an Al Qaeda training camp out the back (and a clerk thanking me for my unclean visit), I don't see why the game can't be as sexist as it is racist.

Can't wait for Apocalypse Weekend.

Summary: Like working in Levittown, PA again
Review: The object of this game is to get through the working week. This is a difficult thing for all of us at times, but when you live in the trashy town of Paradise, Arizona, the concept takes on new meaning.

The player takes on the role of the antihero, whose name is actually Postal Dude. All you really want to do is relax and smoke your "health pipe" but your nagging wife keeps sending you out on errands. Since anything is better than listening to her voice, you grudgingly accept your assignments: get some milk, vote, pick up a toy at the mall, and so on. But there is trouble in Paradise. Book burners are protesting at the library. Your church is taken over by Muslim terrorists. And in the most obvious bit of satire, a certain game company is assaulted by parents protesting violent video games.

Most of the "missions" are interrupted by incidents like these, and it's your job to get out of them alive and move on to your next goal.

In addition, you can have fun just wandering around and messing with people. Disrupt a parade or a carnival show. Set people on fire, or go on an all-out shooting spree. If you run afoul of the police, you will find yourself on a new adventure.

It's an amusing game, and it is fun discovering what you can do as you wander through the various areas, but after time it becomes very repetitive. Your tasks almost always follow the same pattern: fight your way through whatever annoying special interest group is standing in your way. The character AI isn't particularly advanced, and the dialogue is very limited. Some of the lines may be funny the first few times you hear them, but not for much longer. It might be hard to believe, but urinating on people and making them vomit does get old after awhile. In the end, traipsing back and forth through the city in a most inefficient manner is simply tedious. If the setting weren't such an eyesore (which, I know, is the point) it might not have been so.

I love that the game is so outrageous and doesn't care who it offends. The charm of the gameplay itself, though, wears off quickly.

Summary: Good game for pinheads!
Review: Postal 2 is by far the most horrindas and most violent video game after soldier of fortune. The games plot is usless and stupid but fun in some what ways.

THe point of the game is that you do stupid and some what funny errands on your list but you end up in bizar situations( like going to the church to confess and end up fighting taliban members with preachers helping your back). It is very offencive also so dont let the little ones playing this.
There are stuff in the game that might make some viewers to quit. For like one example you can go to the mall and go to a pet shop store and pour gasoline on the cats and dogs and set them on fire wich causes the owner to go insain wich causes you to blow his head off with a shot gun wich causes the police to come and they go phyco on you wich caused you to shock em with a tazer and wack there head off with a shovel and caused you to piss on there dead....OK! NOW IM GOING WAY TOOOO FAR.

BASICkly the game is sick. You can set picketers(who happen to hate violent video games) on fire! and then you can ur***e on there d****%$# body and yes the game does contain foul language and the game is very slow when it comes to loading times....VERY SLOW.....WICH also caused me to give it 3 stars.

BOTTOM LINE.........GET THE GAME AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DONT LET ANY ONE UNDER 18 OR 17 AT LEAST PLAY THIS GAME.....did i meantion you can start a big fight with cops and piciter and lure them to a parking spot full of cars and commit suiside wich cause the cars and every body by you to explode? well cya.

Summary: Nice idea, if you're ready for prison.
Review: I thought it'd be fun to play an ultra-violent game for a change. It was fun, for the first 5 minutes. After that, the game gets a little old and makes you a little cranky. Especially when you sit and wait for the next scenario to load. I think the developers did that on purpose to tick-off the gamer even more, and make him even more violent.
The graphics started out nice enough, but I guess the guy doing the building interiors had the week off when they put this game together.
As far as a fulfilling experience, the only thing this game teaches is how to get mad. Most of us have figured that out, already.
For all you Gary Coleman fans, this game is a must!!!
For everyone else, you can find better use of your time.
