Postal 2 was an awesome game but by now...it is really too late for an expansion pack! The hunger for this game died over a year ago!

I finished this expansion in under 4 hours. YIKES!!! $20 for a measely 4 hours. It has limited re-play value too! Once you have played it, you have done it all. Postal 2 was fun to play again. AW is NOT!!! Why? Because it is too linear! Your enemy attacks are scripted. Basically, once you enter a certain section of the game, the attacks come. PREDICTABLE! Once you play it, you know when the attacks are going to come by heart. No surprises, no shock or thrill, no point! Just repetitive gameplay! Stand here, shoot at enemy - wash, rinse, and repeat!

The enemey AI is the same as Postal 2. They are not intelligent or clever in tactics. They are just aggressive and attack in groups. Go slow, take your time, focus on killing one at a time then continue on and you can easily beat the game.

There are numerous bugs and errors. You can't pee on your enemies. In Postal 2 you could. This is an admitted goof. They sent it off to manufacture before testing the most obvious things! This tells me RWS really slipped up! Your machine gun is still weak and inaccurate. The pistol is much more accurate and deadly, especially at long ranges! How silly is that? You get many General Protection Fault crashes and then have to restart the game. Sometimes I would load into a level only to fall through the floor of the level and die. No fix. I had to start the game from the beginning! There are other glitches and oddities too.

I am not the only one suffering from this. Check out the forums and you can see numerous complaints and RWS even acknowledges the screw ups. In their defense, these things happen and RWS will get a patch out I am sure.

For the record, according to the moderators postings in their own forums, they admit that this game was designed for their own in-house play and fun. It was never meant to be released to the public. They loved it, thought the fans would like it and decided to release it to us. Fine. I am grateful.

****BUT.....you don't take a half finished, poorly done product, send it off in a rush to manufacture and then charge your die hard fans $20 a pop without thoroughly testing it and polsihing it up first!!!!!!!

By now, we should have been looking forward to or playing Postal 3...not a crappy expansion pack.

You get some new missions and some new weapons...big deal! The graphics are still outdated and tinny.

The game is now linear and very predictable! In Postal 2 you could go everywhere, explore and terrorize. In Apocalypse Weekend, you basically have nothing to do but go on to the next mission.

Save your $20 and use it towards the purchase of GTA: San Andreas which is due out June 7th 2005 - that is just days away!!!! Maybe the guys at RWS will get to play San Andreas and will learn what really good game design is all about!

no mo' free roam

Postal 2 is the kind of game I can still play to this day because you can go anywhere you want and do whatever you want to do. I was hoping the expansion pack would just add new weapons, enemies, and areas to the existing game.

Instead it's a small little self-contained linear adventure. I was looking forward to going to all the usual areas in Postal 2 and hacking people into pieces with the machete and scythe and all the other goodies,.. but instead I'm forced to do the usual linear FPS ride. Sure,.. it still has that great psycho-crazy-politically incorrect humor that you love,.. and the new weapons really are fun,.. and I was suprised to see the expansion pack with ....(deep breath) INTRO CINEMA!!!!!!
But overall it's just a bad idea to release a linear expansion pack to a non-linear game. It's not really an expansion pack as it is just a really short sequel with the same graphics engine.

But hey,.. if you have a PC that was top of the line back in 2003 and can't run any of the new awesome shooters like Doom3, FEAR, and Half-life 2,.. AND you have and like the original Postal2,.. then go ahead and have a blast!!

more,more & more!!

Fun game, just like the original and 2nd version. Straight up kill 'em all type for loads of fun. Not much thinking involved. Lots of language, not for those easy to offend.

Where'd all the Babes go??

As a second version (sequel?) to "Postal Share the Pain" I was expecting a few more babes ... not one stuck around, I dont' even remember if there were any! The graphics are superb but it's realy too bad the really nice babe in the intro wasn't incorporated in the game...with a few of her friends. Too much interior, too much "unreal" scenery.. jeeze come on guys the first game had plenty of outside action... and Babes. Wasting good resolution like that...criminal. Lots of weapons and explosives, quite a bit of action but no one to share it with, like a side-kick or a girl friend...get the picture. I know, I know GTA San Andres got lots of bad press for "Hot Coffee" but it probably helped sales. You don't have to go overboard just a little eye candy... or, an adult version for the adults who play. I still "hack" at trying to finish the game now and again because of the graphics and the action but the thrill is gone, get me?

Awsome game

This game is awsome. Chopping people up with the boomerange machete, slicing frantics in half with the scythe, destroying cows heads with the sledgehammer. This game rocks all around. Also the new phrases the Postal Dude says when using the new weapons are cool as well. No 5 hour long loading time is also great. The zombies freak me out abit appearing out of nowherealong with this gary coleman zombies/what ever they are. Then one thing that rocked and was funny the most is what the last boss said. "FEAR MY QUIVERING CROTCH!"

Silly & asinine, but loads of fun...

Yes, yes, I know, the game has myriad flaws but it's so damn fun to play. The tourette zombies should be a game of their own. I laughed so hard I thought my sides would split. Now, if you're looking for a serious game, this ain't it. Go buy whatever is new and homogeneous. However, if you're depraved and warped, this game is for you. Then again, if you enjoy Postal 2 in the first place you must have a skewed sense of humor to begin with (not a bad quality in my book) so this tongue-in-cheek waste of time will cure what ills you. Buy it or not.

I Love The Peacefulness Of The Elephant Preserve (And Then Disrupting It!)

This is a pretty awesome expansion pack. A few levels aren't the best, like the opening hospital levels. But the zombie fights and the incredible elephant preserve sections more than make up for it. And the new weapons like the boomerang machette are nothing short diabollically brilliant.

But the elephant preserve, the premise is ridiculous. A special nature preserve where picnicking humans stroll alongside beautiful hills and "peaceful" elephants lumbering around them without a care in the world.

It's nice to just take in the beautiful scenery, the quiet before the storm. And then -- all it takes is ONE disrupted human in the preserve and they run off screaming, maybe you take a piss on them or shoot them but once one of them runs off, the elephants panic and go on a killing rampage! Killing everyone and knocking over trees, it's death, mayhem, murder, and destruction! You can join in and waste all the elephants or just let the elephants waste all the people! It's hilariously! Outrageous! And this is one of the few games that dares to poke fun at Muslim extremists. Talk about balls. Ya gotta love lines like, "The infidel! Kill him in the name of Allah!"

So yeah, pretty awesome game. Not as good as Grand Theft Auto, but a fun first person shooter.

A touch too short and linear, but overall fun

This expansion is too short, and is far more linear than the main game. Having said that, it was a fun play, with neat new features. Just be aware that if you enjoy it, you will probably play it thru in 1-2 sessions.
