It's been almost 20 years since this game's release - and it brings back so many memories.

POSTAL 2 is not a great game, not even a good one. It is an AWESOME game. In retrospect, I don't understand why anybody would waste their money or time on Postal 4 when this ABSOLUTE GEM is available on Steam. If you've never played it, you can't even imagine what you're missing.

This game marks an era where the Postal series (and 1st person shooters in general) actually stirred controversy in the world of gaming, politics, and beyond - and it makes a big point about it, too. The game gives you choice. Violence is not always the answer... unless you're some kind of hippy-dippie pacifist, anarchist psychopath, or somebody who likes fun.

Without ranting about Postal 4's shortcomings, I will say that POSTAL 2 is everything that Postal 4 is, except better. If this were the movie industry, P2 is the original vision that inspired all the terrible remakes. And to put icing on the cake, every DLC is worth it, expanding the lore and the Dude's adventure just the right amount. Take that while running with scissors.
