Honestly, you're the first person I've heard say a good thing about the game.

It's not that I dislike the genre; I'm as much of a sicko as the next guy. Despite its flaws, I played the hell out of the first Postal and its Special Delivery add-on pack; any game where you can use a napalm launcher on an ostrich farm or wipe out a marching band with a Molotov cocktail has my personal stamp of approval. It's just that almost every review I've read of the game has shit on it from a safe distance for its gameplay, not its theme or its cathartic qualities.

(Naming the wimpiest level of difficulty after Joe Lieberman ("Liebermode") was cute, though.)
