OK - the answer is SICK of course...
But I can't help thinking that running round in multiplayer mode hitting other people over the head with a shovel (which makes a lovely comical 'CLANGGGG!' sound) is just the sort of thing that people would like to do at LANs between the big games.
Have any of you tried the free demo? (There is a single player mode which allows you to practise many of the sick weapons and killing techniques)!
WARNING! THIS GAME IS SICK - IT IS ALSO VERY UN-PC. WHILE IT IS NOT RACIST IT IS MOST DEFINATELY SEXIST AND ALSO MAY OFFEND ANYONE OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH OR VERY SHORT PEOPLE - OR PEOPLE WHO LIKE ANIMALS.
Psotal 2: Share the Pain demo links (http://www.gopostal.com/postal2/demo.php)
The guys that were formally BIG (!) are testing this out, but we would like your feedback too please.
(Note: the graphics are nothing to write home about - but it's the gameplay that is fun - in a twisted way!)

PS - I tried to find a review of this game to give you a idea what it is like to play - but unfortunately every big game review site has taken (maybe rightly) a high moral ground stance on Postal 2 and has slated it.
BUT...
I did find this user comment one of of the sites which I think sums it up:
I enoy the fact that there is a game were you can piss on people.
And yes, you really can piss on people in this game. I rest my case!
;)
Definately sick.

I can't argue with you - it is!
;)
Ignoring the shock value, it is a poor game. If you took away the un-pc factor you would have a very average game, with very linear "open-ended gameplay", poor graphics, and repetitive gameplay. Every mission seems to be go and get milk/food/etc. Oh and if you want to shoot/maim/burn/piss on people on the way, that's fine....
Initially it is amusing, but it quickly gets tedious. Download the demo, but the game isn't worth £5.
i must say i enjoyed the game just for the complete wrongness of it, in parts i was on the floor in tears.... :D
I have to say - it ISN'T a long laster!
The novelty factor wears of very quickly...
But for a 15 minute 'bash' between tournament games - AND after having a few drinks - it is a giggle!
There must be nothing more satisfying than lying in wait on a roof - having poured a puddle of gasoline on the sidewalk - waiting for an opponent to come along and then throwing a match down and see the pyrotechnics start!
:devil:
I also never seem to tire of sticking a shotgun up a cats bum and shooting people with it!
And despite the crap graphics (Unreal engine) I dare anyone to say they don't grin when they hit someone in the head with the shovel weapon and get that very satisfying 'CLLLLAAAANNGGG!' noise!
LMAO
Yes, it's a rubbish game...But the gamemakers happily admit to that!
