  • Summary: In Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend, gamers controlling the enigmatic Postal Dude will be sorely tempted to carry on his wicked ways in the weekend that follows on the bloody heels of the five insane, carnage-filled days experienced in POSTAL 2. This single-player expansion pack offers over 20 new areas of Paradise to decimate, 10 new missions to execute with extreme prejudice and an array of "cutting edge" weaponry that would make Lorena Bobbitt salivate. Gamers are no longer limited to merely blasting, burning and blowing up enemies ? they can hack them down to nuggets as well! There's the Scythe which definitely has some serious hands-on/heads-off appeal. Then there's the Sledgehammer ? pound for pound pure enjoyment. And the Boomerang Machete. It's exactly what it sounds like ? a machete that you can throw like a boomerang! Just line up some Mad Cow-infected Tourettes Zombies and cut right through and through and through! Other features allow users to determine NPC logic with dynamic, real-time AI; set up buildings, furniture and other visual elements to produce original game scenarios and create their own MOD for POSTAL 2. [Running With Scissors; Requires POSTAL 2 or POSTAL2: Share The Pain]… Expand

    It's a mild diversion when it works, crude and shoddy the rest of the time. The game's fate is sealed by a simple realization: you need Postal 2 to play it. Movies like "Plan 9 From Outer Space," at least, don't require a copy of "Glen or Glenda" to watch them.

    With smartly designed levels and a variety of tasks, there are much worse ways to spend a weekend. Don't expect the trimmings of a big-budget title, but it's a bloody, twisted good time to those who are neither squeamish nor easily offended.

    The problem with Apocalypse Weekend is that it lacks the cleverness and thoughtful execution that made the original worth laughs. [Oct 2005, p.72]

    A good addition to a great game, unfortunately it was very linear compared to Postal 2, but it did have some fun moments. If only RWS could program better...… Expand

    Final boss, not so braindead to kill. Nice weapon additions. And the zombies are quite an adversary, but it turns out as too lineal. No free-roam like the original Postal 2, making it quite less than it could have been. And it appears to be shorter in terms of play time. Wait for the bargain bin, then make sure you pick it.… Expand
