A mindless shoot-them-up game for the whole family
This game is nothing more than shooting people in the face, burn them, blow them up and pump their whole family full of lead. Easy and mindless but fun in a strange way.
You can play the campaign where you rampage trough different parts of the town, each time with a mandatory kill requirement. There are also many challenges you can complete. So, for its time, and still today, it is a huge game.
The game looks good for its time, the graphics and psychics are really well done, and the animations are fluent.
The sound is also surprisingly good with the constant moaning of dying people, the explosion sounds and the screams of people who are on fire. Yes, I can say this quite casually now because I also finished Postal 2.
For the time, this game was one big scandal and I can totally see why. Nowadays it is nothing more than a big shooting gallery where your only goal is to murder as much of the population as possible.
The reason I recommend this game is because the achievements make it fun to play. Normally after killing a whole neighborhood I am done with the game but the fact that you can achieve something makes it fun. Except for the “one million bullet achievement” of course, that one was sadistic.
Overall, it is free now so if you have a sadistic mood and some time to spend, give it a try.
