Psychotic game, with mass murder and no breath-taking story that'd otherwise make your wife cry. A game for MEN.
A game in general has these things that try to reel you in for another waste of 50-60$
- Characters with deep description of their story
- A deep story to keep you 'hanging' for eight hours and probably ends in the way you couldve predicted in the first hour
- A balanced gameplay where you somehow are ruling but still get the illusion that your an 'equal' to whoever youre fight with or against.
- An array of weaponry whereof half you'll probably never use and the other half will serve when your fav weapon runs out
- Puzzles that break your head and leave you sleepless in your bed until you found out the sollution
Postal 2: STP sends a card with a big middle finger to all that.
The differences to the just summed poins:
- The leading character is named The (Postal) Dude, he hates his wife, and he needs to do his daily chores. Thats all there is to it, thats where we recognise our boring lives and start the dream that every game-gore-loving man has: senseless killing and still do the chores. Mixing liabilities with fun. Like having a BJ at the office. So far for character developement and storyline.
- You find a gun, you rock the scene from that moment.
You can kill who you want, whenever you want, and the police is hardly tough. Kind of like killing a civilian twice. And civilians go down FAST.
- The array could have been better, but whatever you need for your sick imagination, its there. Wanna play golf with someone's head? Ready that shovel, and see if you can get a birdy. Go in Guns-blazing? The assault rifle suits your needs and has everyone killed in no time.
- Puzzles are mostly about finding your way, and keeping your patience during the long-loading times.
Gamespot gave this a 6, but do NOT let that stop you to get this game. You'll be happy you did.
The game comes also with a fun multiplayer game,
and though I haven't yet played with other humans, the Morons (name for their bots) are satisfying, and at a certain intelligence, allied bots start to follow you and watch your back.
Smarter then your regular Multiplayer AI!
Again, if you see this lying in a discount box, GRAB IT!
You're in for a fun time.
