Online multi-player alone is worth the $$.

I downloaded the multiplayer demo (at www.postal2.com), and was blown away. This is one of the best (if not THE best) balanced fps multi-players I've played. Generally, games like Unreal Tournament quickly become shoot, die, respawn, over and over again - and dying becomes incidental. In Share the Pain, a death carries with it the loss of points - so just staying alive in the madness is rewarded. Share the Pain comes with great multi-player maps, balanced by houses, tunnels, and various places in which to employ guerilla tactics against the opposition. These are NOT your typical open arenas with a few hallways that all lead back to the center "warehouse" shootout. Share the Pain takes all the great elements from Counter Strike (tactical fighting), and Unreal (fast paced action), and combines them perfectly.

ASIDE from the fantastic multi-player, Share the Pain comes with an updated version of the Single player missions. The single player experience is second to none in terms of open-ended game play. Exploration and innovation pay off, as you can beat the missions completely passively, or with guns blazing (example of innovation: In the "cash your check" mission, most people either wait in line, or rob the bank at gunpoint. Instead, I climbed on top of the bank, kicked in a sky light, poured a few gallons of gas in, then dropped 12 cats inside (that's right, you can "use" cats), next I dropped a match in, the explosion eliminated most of the "opposition", while the burning frantic cats ran about torching the "hard to reach" targets. Minutes later, I walked in and picked up the goods. AWESOME).

Get the game, play it. I'm online as GrifFUN, in the multi-player.

Support this company. Don't Warez. Warez puts small companies out of business before the big companies (which results in us getting crap like Army Men titles, instead of great things like this.)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I have ordered this game for my 14-year-old twins, Ernie and Martha. Both will be starting weekend work at the local post office, and I must applaud the developers for taking a risk and making a mail delivery simulator. While I haven't seen the game yet, I feel I can comfortably recommend it to fellow Christians fed up with the endless wave of violent, drug-promoting pornography passing for entertainment in these troubled times.

However, I must object to the choice of color on the cover. Blood-red implies allegience to Communism - hardly the sort of ideology one should expose to impressionable young children. I'd hate for people to get the impression this game is unsuitable.

I AM GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE AND ONCE ONLY: NOT FOR THE KIDS 17 AND UNDER! DON'T EVEN ASK FOR THIS GAME, CHILDREN! YOU THOUGHT GRAND THEFT AUTO WAS BAD? WELL, HOW ABOUT THE FACT OF SHOOTING A HEAD OFF WITH A .22 GAUGE SHOTGUN AND KICKING IT AROUND LIKE YOUR PLAYING SOCCER IN THE TRAILER PARK?
So, with this in mind, parents, tell kids don't even ask for this.

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)

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.
