The variety of actions is impressive, as are many of the character animations, and the whole “living world,†feeling is a highlight. Give doggy treats to a stray mutt and the pooch will follow you around for more. Walk around with your pants unziped and you hear giggles. Get in front of the line at the store and everyone flips you off, with the cashier asking you to ‘please go to the back of the line’. The general behavior of the AI overall is quite funny. Brake the law and they’ll naturally haul your ass to jail, but usually hiding out of sight for a few minutes is enough for things to cool down. The cops patrol the streets and, unlike every GTA game out there, actually jump to your aid when you’re attacked by rude NPCs. The alternative solution, in almost all cases, is to whip out your gun and lay waste to the entire room. It’s funny because it’s so rare that a game gives you such a boring means of achieving goals. The biggest laughs come from completing these tasks, because most involve standing in line. As the Postal Dude, you receive mundane tasks to complete on each day, like “Buy some milk,†“Cash my check,†or “Return library book”. Postal 2 is a fairly non-linear game broken into five days, each of which can take an hour or more to complete. It’s a middle finger aimed at political correctness, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
POSTAL 2 SHARE THE PAIN DEMO CHEATS SERIES
Where Rockstar’s long-running series was clever crime drama and social satire bundled into one, Postal 2 was about toilet jokes and being offensive for its own sake. As you may remember, Postal 2 was controversial, but not quite GTA controversial. Political correctness gets the middle finger.Īnd here we are again, beating the metaphorical dead horse on the subject of controversial gaming, preferably with as much juicy spillage as possible to keep us on topic.
