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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
But stripped of its hype, what's most shocking about the game is its mediocrity.

Apr 30, 2022Bem repetitivo, o que deixa entediante, mas a vibe edgy e as coisa meio louca das ideia é bem legal. O final tbm é bem interessante

Sep 23, 2012The worst game I ever saw. Seriously I do not understand people who like this kind of games. Probably they have very twisted sense of humor...........
