I read Yahtzee's review of Painkiller, and I suddenly wondered, "Has this man ever played Postal 2?" Then I remembered that it was banned in Australia.

Then I began to worry. Yahtzee doesn't deserve to go through life without knowing the fun that is Postal 2.

Basically, it's a first-person-shooter that takes place in a city in Arizona. Every day, you are given a list of chores to do and you must go around the town and complete them. But something insane/hilarious/violent usually happens that forces you to start slaughtering people with a shovel, a shotgun, a gas can, and lots of other fun instruments of pain.


Whatchu talkin' bout, bitch?

FEATURES:

• Plenty of blood, dismemberment, burning, death, despair, pain, and all that good stuff.
• The ability to pour gasoline all over the ground, drop a match, and leg it.
• Trench coat.
• The ability to use cats as either shotgun silencers or thrown killing machines.
• The ability to urinate on anything you want.
• Mad Cow Tourette's Syndrome Zombies!
• Gary Coleman.

I played this game once. It made me want to punch my monitor.

Also, the movie looks like a fucking joke:

Got them all, even the online one.

It's another piece of shit from the asshole mind of Uwe Boll.

Go Piss on Dad's Grave."

Ah, good times, good times... Postal²'s definitely one of my favorites.

Strange, I remember doing that even before the something insane/hilarous/violent happened.

[Prodian]

Yeah... The OFLC here refuses to give games a hugher rating than M15+ so anything that doesn't fit into that or lower will not get released here. And it shits me.

The original Postal was really scary but the second one is real fun, and both could be a lot better with some additional work.
Everything associated to the Postal theme, including the games themselves, is "cool" but could be "awesome" with some fixes here and there.

[Zewb]

I think the reason I like it so much, besides the reasons listed above, is that it's one of those rare games that make me laugh.



Oh, and an answer to Prodian's reply about not being able to get it in his country, you can order it from GoPostal.com.

Or you can download a torrent...you naughty little fuckers...

Oooh! Butt Nuggets! I haven't seen them for a long time.

I 'spose I could order it, PC games aren't affect by dumb region codes.

Many people say it's the most evil game out there, but those people have probably never heard of Ethnic Cleansing, the game where YOU are in the KKK and it is YOUR job to kill those filthy minorities and make the world safer for the white man! YEEE HAWW!

That's almost my kind of game, except for, let's say...

In the game, the protagonist (the player can choose either a skinhead or a Klansman) runs through a ghetto murdering black people, southeast asians, and latinos, before descending...

[Dan_N_GameZ]

Yeah, but probably, in these days, if you are a white character in a game and just happen to kill a minority character through the hordes of monsters or whatnot, some lawyer'll be all over the game.

But make no mistake, games like Ethnic Clensing are clearly wrong.

[Gobbler]

Or rather, people who play that stuff and enjoy it are clearly wrong. Might be one of God's little test, that silly dummy always comes up with such stuff, after all.

[David-kyo]

Yeah. Decades ago, it was dinosaur fossils, now it's racist games. What next?
