Postal 2

That Guy · 06-17-2003, 07:44 PM

I'm not much of a gamer, but this is one seriously funny game. I think the engine is the old Unreal one, but I'm closer to being wrong than right. The game is centered around some dude that's obviously gone postal, and you have several chores to take care of daily.

Some of the high points of the game:
<ul><li>Urinating on people
<li>lighting people on fire
<li>using the stun-gun until people urinate on themselves
</ul>And my personal favorite:
<ul><li>Using cats as silencers</ul>
This game is a great stress relief (not that I'm a stressed guy), and delivers the laughs everytime I play it. It's intended to offend as many as possible, so keep your sense of humor.

Check it out here.

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.)

Well.....games like Postal are not my cup of tea but as long as the people who play them can distinguish fantasy from reality and apparently you can I don't have anything against the genre.
