The selling point of Postal is still its best feature - unabashed anarchy and a willingness to go where other games haven't. The gameplay is average; really no new ground is broken, and at its core this is just arcade style action. But the fact remains that Postal has upped the ante as far as what is accepted in the mainstream gaming world.
The lack of longevity in the single-player mode and the simplistic multiplayer options make Postal a moderately fun ride, at best.

Postal rates a 64 for disappointing gameplay and general bad judgment in setting the game's focus on the shock value rather than on anything substantial or creative, and for wasting the obvious artistic talents of Postal's designers.
Featuring inhumane, cold blooded killing and no purpose other than to lay waste to as many fellow human beings as possible, Postal truly stands in a zone of its own – a killing zone.
The moaning and suffering of hit civilians can be quite disturbing in their realism, as are the fire effects and animations. While the graphics fail to evoke the surreal atmosphere that was intended, the sound plays its part superbly.
A middle-of-the-road little action shooter -- nothing more, nothing less. It has enough charm to make it kind of fun, and enough senseless violence to leave an impression, but that's about it.
But stripped of its hype, what's most shocking about the game is its mediocrity.
честно говоря, от этой игры мне снились кошмары. так что 10

It's pure 90's edge at its finest. The gameplay is kinda stiff and I would much rather play Redux. Atleast it's free on Steam.

The atmosphere, diary, art and distorted dark ambient music is really amazing. But the gameplay ****. 22 levels? Seriously? I already got bored at level 8. You will shoot 50 rounds in the face of 1 cop. And maybe it's tolerable when there are 20-30 of them per level. but by the end of the game this number increases to 70-90 cops per level. 1 execution animation. There are very few types of weapons and surprise surprise you will regularly use only 2 of them. I love the way this game looks and sounds, but it's boring and painful to play. Better play redux version. Some of the problems there have been fixed.

Summary We'd like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the Honorable Senator Liebermann of Connecticut for including POSTAL in his list of the three worst things in America. First place went to POSTAL, second place was Marylin Manson, and third place went to Calvin Klein underwear ads. [Ripcord]
