Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend
Oct 4th, 2008 by cm1
Postal 2 was released in early 2003 to much controversy in the press and among politicians, but with little critical fanfare from gamers. It was an average shooter that wrapped itself around every possible politically incorrect concept imaginable. It even had an interesting concept, a week in the life of the ﾑpostal dude’, and the promise that ﾑthe game is only as violent as you are’. Later that year a multiplayer edition was released that also addressed the very long load times of the original game. In the end it remains a fairly ordinary shooter and just an excuse for a bunch of ridiculous, intentionally offensive gags, some of which are funny, others just annoying.
Fast forward to summer 2005, and the release of the Apocalypse Weekend single-player expansion pack. The expansion adds new areas, missions and weapons as you journey as the postal dude through a weekend of mayhem. So how does it do?
This year I have been plagued by games that left me with conflicted feelings of love and hate, promising but deeply flawed games like Dungeon Lords, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Restricted Area. I am glad to say that this game left me with no such conflict.
Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend is garbage, pure and simple. Don’t bother with it even if you’re a Postal 2 fan (There is such a thing? ﾖed.).
The game is pretty much identical in every way to the over two-year-old original, and looks more like a fan-made ﾑmod’ than a professional expansion. The weapons are pretty much the same, with the addition of a scythe and ﾑboomerang machete’, but losing some of the original game’s weapons. There is no reloading (in fact, the common reload key ﾑR’ is mapped to unzip your pants ﾅ), and the aiming and hit location is atrocious unless you pop a head-shot from less than five feet away. In fact, once I landed a shot from the rocket launcher in between three soldiers. Two of them got blown away as expected but the third just stood there and kept firing. One difference is that you apparently suffered a head wound at the end of Postal 2, which causes you to go into frequent ﾑpsychotic episodes’ where your view hazes over and the walls and people get strange appearances ﾅ and loads of Gary Colemans come out to kill you.
