Postal 2 is the story of the dude (I guess the same dude from the first) who lives in a trailer in the ironically named town of "Paradise" (No it doesn't get any funnier). He's got some bitch wife on his ass all the time and sends him out to do errands, yes errands. Which includes such exciting things as picking up milk and oddly enough getting Gary Coleman's Autograph. Fortunately the errands are a backdrop to mindlessly walking around shooting, exposing yourself and pissing on completely random people.

The game operates on a 5 day week with different things to do everyday, the in game world doesn't force you to complete the errands but in order to advance to the next day it's a necessity.

Just about everytime you reach a destination it will result in some sort of firefight. Whether it's a stick up at the bank, or some guys with turbans having shootouts with priests, you can choose to take part in it, or simply stay back and watch it unfold.

Items include Kevlar Vests, a Bass Finder (I have no idea, unless theres a fishing minigame), Newspapers (To wrap your fish in ?), a map and assorted food items for health. Theres also a bong type looking item that you smoke and it restores about 100 health, however it's addictive so not smoking it regularly will actually result in a small loss of health periodically.

The actual gun models are bland and uninspiring. The graphics in general look 5 years ago. This is supposed to be using the Unreal Engine but I guess they spent all their time on making a realistic pissing and puking experience. Environments are very dynamic; you can kick just about anything over, and golf chip just about anything with the shovel including severed heads at the other things you can kick over which will then knock them over .

Sound is passable, thats really all. The gameplay is actually rather solid. The problem is that just about every enemy you encounter is a swat team sniper. This makes dodging bullets near impossible, unless the game is set to one of the lowest difficulties. The AI however is generally awful, npc's walk around in a set pattern and you'll often see them bouncing right off one another. The scripts that control completing your errands are extremely buggy and often times fail midway or don't work at all.

Running errands is stupid, I'm sure we all understand this, so the entire entertainment value relies soley on how many ways can I kill some poorly textured, broken scripted pixelated npc. There's only so many times I can urinate on someone till they hurl. If that sounds fun to you, you'll have a relatively good time. It's not a total waste, the pointless death kept my attention for awhile, especially cause I find golden showers so hot.

The point is that this is worth nowhere near the $50 price tag. This is a bargain bin game, max $25. There is no multiplayer (A standard in my opinion for a current day FPS), theres nothing new gameplay wise, subpar graphics, subpar sounds, awful looking weapon models and they actually think a key feature of the game is the inclusion of Gary Coleman
