Postal 2?

Post by Kashluk »

Before it was published there was a lot of woo-hoo and gossip around here about it being "a great non-linear first person shooter". Was it as expected? Or is it total shit? Anyone bought/wared it yet?

I've read some game magazine reviews but they're generally short and little describing, so I'd like to hear your own comments as well.

I baught it, played it, and for a time it was fun

Paralysing people with the hunting rifle and watching them urinate all over the street was hilarious...for a time, as was setting fire to a group of circius elephants.

The ending was dissapointing, but different, after that I put it away, and never looked back, it languishes alone on the shelf above my computer now, gathering dust rotting, telling me to pick up the knife.

In all its a days worth of fun, dl it from somewhere if it intrigues you that much, but dont waste your money on it.

Ok... I guess I'll ware it somewhere. It'll propably be a relic of some sort for pre-teenager boys, so it shouldn't be too hard to find :D (just like Lola, anyone remember it?)

Actually, I meant that it'll "hoover" around the town sooner or later. There's a bunch of young nerds who like stealing software better than eating or sleeping and they usually spread around the stuff they think is "üb3r K3WeL!11". So I'll propably have a cheap Maxell Cd with letters "P-2" on it lying on my desk any day now...

It's total shit yet you wanna play it anyway Raymondo? You're an ass, you have to take Postal 2 for what it's worth, a game about nothing.

I bought it for $20 which seems to be the going price for the game, it's a nice game to pass time with but not take seriously.

On to the details... What drives the game onwards? Is there a story or just a chain-of-missions? Or is there anything you have to do or are you free to wander?

You can wander around and basically go postal and kill people in creative ways, like I threw a guy in a meat cutter and blew another guy in to a vat of beer. You have "tasks" to do throughout the day, most are funny.

Is there an ending or has it been done "The Sims-style" ?

You shouldnt Warez any game, period. I personally see Postal 2 no better or worse than games like Quake 2.

It was fun for a while, but.. it got boring rather fast..
I'd recommend you to dl it, if you cant find it for below 20$.
I always hated the way the weapon models were made, seemed too.. chumpy to me
