12/8/2023 0 Comments Postal 2 ps2![]() ![]() Nothing special even for their time, but they get the job done and there is some good modeling and characters faces are relatively detailed, and there are also some great physics for ragdolls, blood, fire, and. The game isn't particularly funny (more on that later) but it does have some funny moments, and even if its not as realized as it should be, the game does slip in some clever and well thought out parodies of our American way in a surreal and dark manner that will please fans of South Park. You will always find a tool that tickles your darkest fantasy somewhere in this game.Īlthough not exactly a 'likable' character for obvious reasons, The Postal Dude has a good voice actor and he does have some funny lines. With the help of the expansion pack and the AWP mod, the game has much more variety and is a bit more fun as it expands the arsenal and other elements. The various tools you will find range from your standard guns, to anthrax. The games perception of reality is very skewed, and its acidic and spiteful take on Suburbia is interesting in some ways even if its not seen to its full potential. The game has a variety of weapons, some realistic some very strange. As strange as it sounds, as hateful and sick as the game is, its perfect for taking away your stress. There have been times I've been so pissed at someone I've wanted to shove my boot up their arse, but instead gone home, played Postal 2, and let all the hate go away. In a strange way, being a murder simulator makes Postal 2 a game to play if you want to prevent violence. ![]() ![]() Yet if you can beat your way through the controversy, and you are mature enough to handle the concept and remember that there is a difference between human flesh and pixels, Postal 2 is pure catharsis in a box. Even I'll admit I have a hard time admitting to liking the game because for once questioning the morality of someone who plays a game like this is warranted. Politicians assault it as if it came from the bowels of Hades, and gamers often avoid it like a plague because the games sick concept often makes one look bad. That means the game is something of a black sheep. There's a phrase being slung around by politicians, and that is "Murder Simulator." I normally don't agree with this word, but Postal 2 is just that: A murder simulator. Postal 2 is highly controversial and with good reason. Yet on the other end, the idea of banning games seems stupid and the lengths some of the people go to to fight violent video games is ridiculous. I stand on both ends, I believe that we need to crack down on the sales of violent video games to the youths and that a little censorship at times isn't such a bad idea. SpellingsĬontroversy in video games is a rather dodgy subject. The game uses the Unreal Warfare engine, and comes packed with the Warfare editor, allowing the player to create new people, levels, or even entire mods. One of the similarly over the top weapons is a decapitated cow's head filled with anthrax, which will cause everyone in the immediate area to gag, throw up, and eventually die. The game is as violent as you are, meaning the player can go through the majority of the game without killing someone or beating up someone, but can also go through it killing and decapitating every one the player comes across.įor killing needs, the player has a plethora of ways to dispatch people: kick them, urinate on them (making them vomit), shoot them, bash them with a shovel, throw gas on them and set them ablaze, leaving behind a charred corpse, and if the player wants to be stealthy, it is possible to pick up a cat and stick a shotgun into its rear end to use it as a silencer. Errands range from getting a carton of milk (buying it or stealing it, player's choice) to cashing a cheque at the bank (either wait in line or kill everyone, again, player's choice). ![]() There is no time limit and errands can be done whenever the player feel like it. The game is composed of a five day week, Monday to Friday, where the player must accomplish various errands. Once again, the player takes on the role of Postal Dude, a normal (comparatively normal, anyway) guy living in Paradise, Arizona. Postal 2 is the sequel to Postal, the gritty, violent, over-the-top game that was the target of almost every politician's speech about violence in video games. ![]()
