  • 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]

  1. Game Revolution
    67
    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.
  2. GameSpot
    66
    The lack of longevity in the single-player mode and the simplistic multiplayer options make Postal a moderately fun ride, at best.
  3. Gamezilla!
    64
    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.
  4. All Game Guide
    50
    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.
  5. Adrenaline Vault
    50
    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.
  6. Yahoo!
    50
    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.
  7. Computer Games Magazine
    30
    But stripped of its hype, what's most shocking about the game is its mediocrity.

    When you're playing postal you might notice there have no soundtrack in this game, I considering it's atmosphere to the deep violence darkWhen you're playing postal you might notice there have no soundtrack in this game, I considering it's atmosphere to the deep violence dark story. Alot of people who played Postal might say "there's is no story" "it's **** violence asf don't play it" then they must be not played Postal before. The gameplay is nothing else just blasting your the citizens, the game soundtrack is horrendous and the picture while loading is uncomfortable creepy. But still it's worth to try since it's a free game :)… Expand

    Good game for the past time. Now it`s not interesting for gaming, better try Hatred. For once walkthrough - not bad.

    The 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...........
