10 TIMES SICKER THAN GTA [Posted on 2007-04-26]
I was not entirely sure what to expect from this game. CGW had given it a score of 0% and described it as the "worst product foistered upon consumers" yet PC Gamer gave it a score of 79%. After playing it I think I am able to understand the vast difference of opinions.

Postal 2 is not for the faint of heart. This game purposefully sets out to be as offensive and politically incorrect as possible. If dousing a cop in gasoline, lighting her on fire, urinating on her to put out the fire, and then decapitating her with a shovel as she tries to crawl away, in too much pain to walk or run because she has 4th degree burns across her entire body, does not sound like fun then this game is not for you.

While it is true that much of what makes Postal 2 good rests on it being "offensive", I also enjoyed the freedom the game offers you. Other than that it is a decent FPS with ok graphics. In my opinion it is mostly the content that makes this game such a blast. I highly recommend it, however I can understand how one could find this game either disturbing or unamusing.

Not fun,not funny,not worth a single cent....it's that bad. [Posted on 2007-05-29]
First off i have to say that i got this game simply because i heard it was "Offensive",that being said i thought i would at least get a couple of laughs out of it but i did not.The jokes are for 14 year olds,the game itself is very short and the whole thing feels very cheaply made.The only reason i gave this game 2 stars is because it has multiplayer,thats it,and even that gets old quickly.The game is about a man that works at a video game company and has to simply get through the week doing little chores like getting his paycheck and going to the store to get milk for his lady.These little things turn out to make the week a living hell as danger pops up at every turn...even at church.The game gets old very quickly and even the voice actors sound like they dont want to be there.The "Shock value" is not that shocking and thats all this game has going for it.Avoid this one.

Fun game, just don't expect too much [Posted on 2007-06-07]
I bought this game for $20 from the website when I had the week off from work. I wanted a violent, first-person shooter that wasn't too involved or complicated, because I had about a week to play it. I got what I bargained for. My main complaint is that the maps are painfully non-interactive (you can't drive the cars, for example; the most you can do is break bottles on the street and leave bullet holes on objects). Well, I kinda take that back...I enjoyed blowing up the gas station. The weapons are not too unique...the shotgun does about as much damage as the rifle and pistol, in my opinion. However, I did enjoy the rifle, which had a scope on it. But in spite of these shortcomings, it is a fun game. I played it at a leisurely pace for about two weeks and looked forward to every minute. You can be as violent or as peaceful as you want. In the end, it's a fun game, but don't expect a well-developed masterpiece (like Resident Evil 4).

Blood? Violence? Gore? YES! YES! YES! [Posted on 2007-08-12]
If you like shooting games, BUY IT!!! This game is so much fun, I can't even begin to explain! There is no other game that gives you the satisfaction that this one can. It is so amazing at how dropping off a book in the library (one of the game's missions) can turn into a flaming battle between you and the environmentalists. There is no better satisfaction than *relieving* yourself all over your latest victims. This is a must have for any gamer.

Sick humor, not for the kids, lots of fun [Posted on 2008-01-30]
This game is a blast, they refuse to sell it in my local stores because the humor involved is dark and definetly probably not something you'd want your ten year old playing. The game starts off with a trailer park resident dealing with his dead Pinto (lol) and beating the neighbors mean dog with a shovel, like I said dark humor, not for kids. You can walk around the game with your fly open (and get comments from passersby about the door being open) and choose to wip it out and pee on your opponent too. The people that wrote this are definetly of the off color humor set.....funny as heck if you're into that kind of humor. You find assault weapons in the local insane asylum and there are more than a few pokes at the Taliban and the situation in the middle east....but if you're into hunting terrorists I suppose you'd really find this amusing. One of the more silly parts of the game is the use of cats as silencers on rifles.......I suppose some cat lover is outraged right now. This game is a riot but it's not for the kids.
