I only played the demo version and it looks great. I wish that either on the full version or an expansion pack, you could actually blow up everything (e.g., cars, houses, etc.). Right now the gas can just burns for a while over a static model and goes away after a while.
Fun

One of the most original and hilarious games I've played. The things you'll see, as well as do, is amazing. With a high end system this game even looks great. You won't be disappointed.
Kudos to the guys and gals at 'Running With Scissors'.
Highly recommended.
Gone Postal.......

Postal 2 with out a doubt in my mind, IS one of the most violent video games ever made, sure the game never made it to controversial status like Grand Theft Auto but the game was still very very...disturbing. I mean you can do things like blow off a cops head with a shotty, piss on people, urin on animals, set dogs and cats on fire and LITERALY throw a moltov at a marching band and have them go crazy, running about screaming for help while they're running around in fire...The game is indeed sick AND FUNNY. Other then the games violence, another plus is the friggin humor, it's hilarious with some of the vulgar and funny stuff postal dude says. The game takes place in a(not so huge)town where you can go around freeroaming and doing random things like going to the arcade or getting some milk in the convenient store. Now of course that's not what you're suppose to do in the game...basicly everyday you come out of your trailer house and have abunch of errands to do(some which are very funny)and some(well acctually alot)of them will have funny misshaps causing chaos and violence. Overall the game is pretty funny, the missions are somewhat pointless at times and the games violence makes GTA look like an E rated video game made by Disney. First of all I will get this out of the way, I had a really fun time with this game but overall it's not a game you should shell out 50 bucks(well I should have said that at the time I was playing the game cause it was indeed 50 bucks). I for one did not spend the 50 dollars, I had it burned from a friend and now I'll get to it....
First of all I loved some of the missions, especially the one with Garycoleman and a few others, they were some pretty funny stuff right there, and some were abit disturbing(like the one where you have to visit your fathers grave)but overall everymission was quite entertaining. Visualy, the games average, no wows, not Greats nothing special JUST average. The weapons are awesome especially the one with the cat silencer and the areas and places you visit were splinded to see at some points. Now other then the funny missions and the game weapons, over the top violence the humor does get a LITTLE stale at some points and I will say this and I don't care for your flaming but THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY LOAD TIMES AND THEY TAKE FOREVER!! There are some points where I could go downstairs and get a drink and come back up and the load time would still be there! And alot of the missions become very very boring and repetitive. The load Times are horrid, the humor does get very stale and the gameplay may get boring REAL fast to some(heck maybe many!)and the game is just TOO SHORT(If you ignore the friggin load times and the stupid A.I you will notice the game is ridiculously short and I beat this on Normal mode, not to mention the game takes place in a 5 day period/scenario)..To some you will like it, to many you will hate it....and to others like myself you'll probably find it to be a below average FPS..But overall...I DID have a fun time with it..
The Good
-The humor gets at times is pretty funny
-Gary Coleman...nuff said
-Some missions are really really really funny
-You can use a cat as a silencer!!!
-If you like a game with horrible acts of violence, and animal abuse you will love this game
The Bad
-Gets Old REAL fast
-Load times are just........horrible..
-Some missions in my opiinon were just plain LAME
-This game may offend ALOT of people
-Some missions were abit frustraiting
-Nothing els to really do other then mess around, after you beat the game
-very short, just borrow it from someone you know, who owns the game
-In my opion...just a below average game(only to be played for kicks and fun)
Well I'm done with my complaining and ranting, the game is 20 bucks now and I still think it's not worth the cash, its short, not a very great game but the humor and jokes at times are hilarious but get stale later on...some of the games missions were just plain boring, only the violence, Gary Coleman and some of the missions kept the game entertaining for me at some points...but overall all I just didn't think the game was really that good... I give this a
2.5 out of 5

Finally, a game for the rest of us who don't care about being "Politically Correct"
The only reason I gave it 3 stars is due to the long load times between levels.

This has got to be the most violent and vulgar game I have ever played. And thus the most fun I have had in a long time. This is the only game I have played that watching others is just as fun as playing. The controls are easy and the storyline is filled with humor. I found myself pausing in mid-game so my laughing wouldn't get my character killed. If anyone needs to go postal, this game is the best game out there.
