Who ever thought running errands could be so fun?
Postal follows a simple premise, just do your errands. Most of the game can be done non violently, but it's to f**king fun to just mindlessly kill people. The gameplay runs smoothly, a few long loading screens when you move to different areas. The graphics are just fine, not great, but not bad. And the violence, oh god please forgive me for playing this game. The violence is very well done and blood just spurts into your face in those close quarter fights. Pouring gasoline on someone and dropping a match on them is just plain cruel, but at the same time hilarious. The games has several very simple weapons, such as a shotgun, a shovel, a pistol, a machine gun, napalm, and many others. You can even pee on anyone at any time in the game, which is extremely funny. I laugh myself to death running around town urinating all over people's faces. If you play online you can get a few more weapons including a barbarian axe, and a laser shotgun. Of course your enemies are armed to the teeth with weapons, so if you get hurt too much you need to fin some health. Of course your main source of health is crack cocaine, which as soon as you smoke some, you need to smoke more or you lose health during withdrawal. It's a funny but crude concept.
The controls of Postal are simple. It shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to learn. Basically all you do is move and shoot, so it's not that complex of controls to learn.
However, i must deliver a warning to anyone who purchases this game. Don't buy this for kids. The game has very racial remarks and swears, vicious murders of innocent people, and police officers. You abuse animals buy using cats as gun silencers, and killing dogs for barking at you. You also use large amounts of crack cocaine in this game, and that's definetly not something you want to teach a kid to do.
But if you're over 17 and are ready for a gory, crack smoking, gun shooting, vicious game from hell, by all means buy Postal 2, and remember, SHARE THE PAIN!
