I can take points away from the game for many things, but none of these things really detract from the fun that you can have with this game. The game is about one thing, and one thing only - fun. And it delivers.
There's a refreshing non-linearity to Postal 2. [June 2003, p.116]

Has lots of appeal and it'll surely become very popular as soon as the press gets to it - but it isn't polished enough to hold long-lasting interest.
The combination of 2003 graphics with 1995 mission design hurts Postal 2 in the long term. Something else that absolutely kills the game is the insane amount of loading that goes on.
Strings together a bunch of violent novelties without ever constructing a compelling game for them to support.
The game features some of the most abysmal combat we’ve seen in an FPS for some time, with baffling inconsistencies to the damage your shots inflict and some laughably flawed AI.
Until someone boxes up syphilis and tries to sell it at retail, Postal 2 is the worst product ever foisted upon consumers. [July 2003, p.90]
This video game isn't for everybody and I love this game for it. The game's robust factor is it is humor and it's miles apparent that Postal 2 is designed to rely upon humor. This game is a gag, it doesn't suppose to a AAA game or some game that people draw the line for how much violence is "okay" for a video game.
