What's being said about POSTAL 2
I'm not sure why I waited so long to write this, but this is literally the best game ever made. Alot of people want to bash this game for the violence, but what they fail to realize is that you don't have to be violent. It's too bad that this doesn't matter to them, if theirs violence, there's a problem. Anyways, onto the review:
Postal 2 provides us with a unique experience in which you play a semi-psychotic man named The Postal Dude. He's given a list of chores to do for the bitch who lives with him in his trailer. This game is completely open-ended. You can do anything you think of, from playing fetch with your dog using your latest victims head, to robbing a store featuring a Taliban cashier with an arsenal of weapons which will not hesitate to use on you. Postal 2 has paved the road to a new type of FPS, one which I thank RWS for.

"The Postal Dude will have you laughing your ass off"
"I love how open and free this game is"
"This is definitely one of the most fun games I've played..."
"Finally an orginal game with attitude"
"Postal 2 is a great game that will keep you playing for hours"
"It has AWESOME graphics and AMAZING replay value"
"The (POSTAL 2) world is so expansive it blows me away"
"...action-packed adventure that I loved from start to finish"
"Certain small minds belonging to certain small game reviewers
may have problems with P2's amoral and politically incorrect content.
Designer Mike Riedel mocks the "undercover cop" conventions
that are allowed to justify so many other violent games and provides
gamers with a simulation of a human being driven over the edge of
sanity by drugs and circumstances and translates it into the sort
of visceral computer game that Quentin Tarantino probably plays. Viewed
purely as a game experience, without the filters of personal sensibilities,
P2 is a brilliant accomplishment. I know that I take great pleasure
in venting my anti-social inclinations within the context of a simulation.
That's what simulations are for. Postal 2 absolutely rules, but it
clearly ain't for sissies."
--Bill Kunkel, Electronic Gaming Icon
Postal 2 is without a doubt a video game legend. I give it a 10 out
of 10. It is the best worst game ever. The graphics are phenomenal.
Everybody who plays this should enjoy cutting the heads off of unsuspecting
victums while their back is turned! The sound effects are great.
I find it astounding that a bunch of up tight politically correct
morons would trash this game so much! This game is all in hilariously
good fun. The only problems I have found are demo install problems.
The full version works great. Let me just end with a little
note: To all of you government bastards: Free speech is what this
country is all about. If you dont like it, its your fault. You helped
create this country. You helped it. If RWS wants to put out a game
thats even worse than postal, they can. Its all free speech. Great
job RWS.
Hey, you know want i cant believe, is that computer gaming
world gave you guys a NO SCORE, thats Zero Fucking Stars. But what
really pissed me off personally is how they didn't think their review
was bad enough to make me not want to buy the game, so they fucking
lied about it. For instance, in a screenshot they show an empty room
with a box, some dirt, and a desk. The caption underneath that screenshot
says
"Another graphically rich interior in Postal 2" That is
such a goddamn lie, they know the game had more textures and graphics
than that shit. They just fear the game and don't want me to buy it,
but you know what, i think i will buy that fucking game. Just to prove
their asses wrong. You guys are great and maybe a MMO Postal could
be the next in the series. Thank You.
first off i would personnaly like to thank all of the people at RWS
for being bold enough to come out with a game that lets you do everything
you wish you could in real life (GOD DAMN REDNECKS KILL EM ALL!!!
lol) and thanks for letting me decapitate and set on fire and then
piss on gary coleman and play kickball with his head i found that
really fun for some reason ok as for the review portion: great game
overall could be improved of course like being able to jack cars (yes
i know its not trying to be a gta3 ripoff but it would still be fun)
and the fact that everyone in "paradise" is a perfect marksman
and there are no one shot head kills and you cant maim anyone other
than minor things like that the game was a wonderfully twisted piece
of computer software damn good job RWS and i hope you are planning
to make a postal 3. oh and one last thing to all of you hippy-anti-violence-pussys
go hug a damn tree and fuck off, this game is brilliant go screw yoko
ono and micheal moore or something. RWS KICKS ASS !
**note if i offended anyone with my opinions expressed here i would
like to say sincerely......go fuck youreselves!**
Now only one company would be bold enough, or even brave enough to
make this game, Running With Scissors. You would expect a company
like Running With Scissors to create a game like this when there motto
is, "We're only as violent as you are," and, "It's
always funny until someone gets hurt...and then it's absolutely friggin'
hysterical!" They also came out with a message to the public,
being said on their web site, "Our philosophy is that violence
belongs in video games, not in the real life." Even though we
have seen much "hype" over a video game due to its violence
(How can we forget Grand Theft Auto 3), this game has also had controversy
behind it. This game, Postal 2, has been banned from over 10 countries,
even for a few weeks it was pulled off the shelves (it was brought
back due to popular demand), it came in number three on Senator Joseph
I. Lieberman's list of "what will cause your child to shoot you
most list" (Of course it was beaten by TV violence and Merlyn
Manson's actions and music), and even the United States Postal Service
sent a law suit to Running With Scissors for using the name "Postal."
Even though I do not recommend this game to your 7 year old boy or
girl, it is still pretty fun for teenagers and even adults. Postal
2 is a game for people who are either looking to have some good old
fashioned fun, want to release some stress, or you're just mentally
insane and enjoy killing people, either way this game is definitely
worth your 50 bucks. The game that breaks all the rules will surely
keep you at home playing for hours and enjoying every minute of it.
300 highly flammable cats+1 crowded shopping mall+1 molotov cocktail=extreme
fun!
From the first time I played the original Postal I have been waiting
for a "first person" version. Thank you!
I can't tell you how many times I have come home from work to play
Postal2 for an hour or two, only to notice
the sunrise coming through the window. Damn! time enough to shower
and go back t work! Then I come
home and do it all again!If I had to make a complaint, I would have
to say that I miss the ostriches and the
flame thrower. Otherwise, its all good!
What can be said that hasn't already been said, This game RULES! I
remember when my brother was showing me the demo and only 1 or 2 minutes
into it I KNEW I had to buy this game, the playablity factor is very
high, I mean There are few games that hold MY interest to get me to
play more than 3 or 4 times, I did that with this game in the first
2 days I had it and in the 2 weeks that I have had this game I have
played it at least 30 times, I think it is a Stress reliever from
a long day at work when you can come home and BLAST cars, windows,
cats, Dogs....... you get my drift. Multi-player is a definate must,
I think this game will become the next holy grail of PC games. Vince
you are without a doubt a very talented man, and you have an equally
talanted team. Keep up the GREAT work and I look forward to Postal
3. I find this game very entertaining and fun to play and my favorite
line is "And Another One Bites The Dust" I am a major Queen
Fan and LOVE that song so when I heard that line I KNEW this game
was AWESOME! I give it 11 out of 10...
I've lost my faith in the system!!! This game totally whoops ass!
The gimp suit...omg haahah soo funny. Best is when you wear the Police
Officer clothes ahha, I AM THE LAW!!! Everybody respects you!
You guys really made a game that lots of gamer companies didn't had
the guts to make. Lots of contreversial matters too which only makes
the game better and better! Graphix are awesome! I didn't knew you
used Unreal 2 Engine, so neat with that Rag Doll Effects (Effect when
you can "blend the bodies" on the surface 'n shit). The
sound... That shovel made me laugh and wow... phewww, I could write
all nite long for this.
The only bad thing in the game: Long waiting time (could be fixed
via a patch), Machine Gun sound (sounds shity). Rest is amazing, I
can't simply find the words to explain this game crazyness! Only as
violent as you are, but who ain't? ;)
Maked me laugh my fucking ass off all the time for any crazy shit
I can do! It's soo free in the game, you can just do whatever you
want to complete your errands... but to say, it took me sooo long
to complete the game hahah, just slaughtering people around, quick
reloading after and restarting... this GAME IS THE SHIT FOR STRESS
RELIEVING!!
The End is stunning too!!! I can't imagine what would be the possible
sequel LoL! Now I know why the Postal Dude was so obedient to her
haah! Such a psycho chick! Would be nice to see "her" the
Postal Chick... Something tells me I'll have that wish comes true
soon ;)
Heres a few suggestions for a possible sequel or maybe expansions?
:
Play the Postal Chick? Would be fun as hell! Or, why not Playing both
as a team? WHOA INDEED! Blah, I hate expansions, full NEW games are
better but anywayz... Would KICK MAJOR ASS if you could include in
the game uhh, dunno, the Postal Dude could get a walkman and listen
to some MuDvAyNe or Slipknot sorta muzik... which would make it just
more insane and intense! Well, try to ask thoses bands if they could
produce you a soundtrack, Nine Inch Nails is making DOOM3 soundtrack,
so why not you? Yeah thoses id guys got the big $... anywayz, Heavy
Metal Muzik on that game would be a total blown-out!
Secondly, I don't personnaly care if theres a multiplayer mode, it
would just be like mostly every online games... kill or be killed.
Online gaming is getting old and boring. I've been playing online
for a long time since DOOM, and right now, it needs some overhaul
(the Online Gaming). So let it single-player, it's better that way
especially cuz you could just do all you want in the big world.
My only regret so far is... to not have played Postal 1 (If I could
only find it somewhere) ... and like some fans written in earlier
posts, Banned Gamez = Very Interesting and Appealing.
Continue the good work RWS, if it ain't a Postal 3 next, I'm sure
NOTHING will stop you for making a game related heheh... Now, time
for preparing my "Postalness" for my bootcamp & infantry
training!
This is what i call an awsome game. The graphics are great the kick
a## gameplay is ...well...kick a##. The loads of laughs u find in
this game will keep you coming back for more + its does a really good
job of tying in intense shooter action while making your errands.
There is so much u can do in this game and so many hilarious things
u can do or can happen. For instance, one errand requires u to go
to church and confess your sins. When u get to the church and confess
a huge army of Bin Laden look alikes come to "take back the holy
land". Then u see PREISTS WALKING AROUND WITH GUNS.How crazy.
I cant list all of the things u can do in this game i would be sitting
here for at least a year. So please take my advice go and buy the
game.If you happen to stop by gamespot,the website, and happen to
see there review, then decide not to buy the game, i am goin to walk
to your house and knock your head off with a shovel then take your
cat and stick it on the barrel of my gun through its ass using it
as a scilencer so no one can hear me kill you.If you dont want this
to happen i suggest you buy the game
This game is so fun, its not even funny. What other game lets you
take a cat and shove it on a gun as a surpressor? None. Postal 2 is
by far the best game ive ever played. i really liked the thing about
the "Sym Homeless" game, and the legal rights of having
to change the "i" to a "y" that cracked me up.your
game is a holder of a message: that you dont give a crap about what
others think, and i love that. This is my favorite game so far. I
live in AZ, and my message to you is keep running with the scissors!
I live in the uk so i cant get Postal 2 in the shops but i'm getting
it imported from amercia soon, i have played the demo and all i can
say is... WOW. The sheer amount of fun you can have in this game is
amazing. SOF fans will be drooling at their chairs.
1 The graphix.
The graphix in this game are beautiful, the environments are smooth
and the NPC models are lifelike and realistic. The guns look good
and places like the quik-e-mart style shop are great to raid because
they look so realistic.
2 Sound
The sound in postal2 is also top notch quality, the gunshot sounds
vary everytime you fire the gun and the npcs respond to your actions
with appropriate sayings (eg if you unzip in front of a young girl
she might say "Help Help get away from me!" or she may respond
by simply saying "I've seen bigger" little quirks like this
are what make the scale of this game huge!
3 Fun rating
If wandering the streets with a rusty ole spade and randomley kicking
somebodies front door down, mindlessly battering them to death and
in the process decapitating them and then running into their back
garden with their head to play fetch with the dog isnt fun... i dont
know what is enough said
Over all i would have to give this game a 10/10 100% its a perfect
game, I LOVE THIS GAME
RWS you guys are the best games designers EVER!
I just got the demo version of Postal 2.
I would like to say it's the most offensive game I've ever seen, and
I think you are all sick and evil.
I would like to say that... but I'm sick and evil, so I'm gunna say....
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!
It's pure homicidal bliss. The Rapture of slaughter!!!
My GOD!!! How did I live before I got this game???
