This is good because youll get barely a dozen hours of play out of the single-player mode. In addition to the original, single-player version of Postal 2, the Mac release includes the Share the Pain multiplayer add-on, which was released separately for the PC. However, the computer-controlled characters are often dumb as bricksrunning continuously into walls and doing other incredibly stupid stuff. The games physics engine supports rag doll body motion, which offers some entertainment value as corpses get blown hither and yon.Īnd the occasional pyrotechnic effect will send cars and trucks careening into the sky, Hollywood-style.
Unfortunately, the twisted fun cant mask some basic flaws that mar the games execution.īut each area is zoned and must load separatelywhich often leaves you tapping your fingers on the table for a few moments.Īnd the interior level design is also a bit plain and unfinished in places. Oh, and did I mention that you can pour gasoline on people and light them on fire Postal 2 is, at least on some levels, a ham-handed satire that pokes fun at everything from the gaming industry to modern politicsand few groups escape the barbs.
Theres also a shovel you can use to decapitate your foes, and an anthrax-ridden cows head that makes anyone within its explosive radius You must complete a series of mundane missionssuch as going to the bank, getting milk, and having your venereal disease treated.Įntertaining cinematic sequences introduce you to each new mission and the storylines twists.
Postal 2 is more or less a standard first-person shooter (FPS). I couldnt help but laugh out loudnot only at the sick, and often stupid, jokes and vile behavior, but also at the pure outlandishness of it all. That said, I have to shamefully admit that I liked this game. It has actually been banned in some countries.) Consider yourself warned. In fact, it is, without question, one of the most unabashedly violent and politically incorrect games I have ever played. Postal 2: Share the Pain, by Running With Scissors, is not the game for you.
