The manufacturer says: "Postal 2 is all about choice; experiment with everyone and everything. And remember... it's only as violent as you are!" Well, this is just plain not true! You cannot avoid being confronted by mindless attackers, at the end of each errand you run. There is no experimentation without being SWARMED from all directions, throughout the city where the game takes place. You can't run to another location (wait 10 minutes for the scene to load), and expect to avoid them. There's no choice at all. Postal 2 is just another lame fps. The manufacturer's description borders on false advertising.
And as for the violence...can I have mine without a closeup of a girl's thong-clad crotch when I'm done, please? How about a realistic shot of postal dude's "package" when he's urinating on someone? Or a guy wearing some tight clothes for a change?
I happen to be a 30-year old computer programmer, and a woman, and it's a shame that there's nothing in this game for me. To the teenaged boys who developed it, I have to say "women go postal too, idiots. And lame, cheezy games aren't a small part of the reason why."
At least it cost less than 10 bucks.
This is the Best Friggin Game Ever!!!

If you liked the Grand Theft Auto games, you'll love Postal 2! This is my new favorite game! The singleplayer is incredible and the multiplayer is the icing on the cake. This is the best game ever made! (until Postal 3)

Intellectually, I'd say this game wasn't all that great.
So, why did I find myself playing for hours on end?
I have to admit, for mindless entertainment, it was pretty good.
Once straightforward play started to get dull, I was able to throw in my own little challenges, like sneaking up on folks with the stunner, then whacking 'em with the shovel.
I also learned that it's much safer to use the gas from a higher level (like, upstairs in the bank, just pour it down on top of the folks in line). I haven't tried multiplay yet, but I'll see if there are still folks playing it online.
On a sidenote, there's no such thing as a .22 gauge shotgun. A .22 is a tiny little bullet. This game uses more like a 12 gauge (smaller number is bigger in shotguns).
great game

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.

Boring game...and FPS's aren't supposed to be boring. The game has a sense of humor but I can only hear "You go girl" only so many times before getting sick of it. Pass this up and get Unreal Tournament 2004 or Painkiller (the original) if you don't already have them.
Too Violent

I really like first person shooters like Far Cry, MOHAA, and Call of Duty. But Postal 2 has gone way too far. This game is so violent it is sick. I really like shooters, but this game is so violent you would have to be messed up in the head to buy it. I feel bad for anyone who needs this game.
A game version of "A Clockwork Orange"

Sure, this game and others like it are worth a couple of laughs for a short while but it gets pretty boring after a while; plus the game is a little too short.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing Postal 2 but its just like Grand Theft Auto - it becomes pretty pointless after a while.
this game rox!

hey im 14 and i got this game. this is the best game ever! u run around and do normal errands but you have access to weapons. you dont even need to use the weapons if you dont want to. but when you buy a violent video game and have access to weapons what are you? i especially like how you get out of prison. you have to throw a match at the smoke detector so it opens your cell then sneak past then guards out of prison. also i think its funny how in the game you work for the company who made the game and when the protestors come and try to shoot you.
