What Postal 2 is
Postal 2 is an adventure game developed by Running With Scissors and released in 2003. It was published by Linux Game Publishing. It is available on Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 2.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Live a week in the life of "The Postal Dude"; a hapless everyman just trying to check off some chores. Buying milk, returning an overdue library book, getting Gary Coleman's autograph, what could possibly go wrong?
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, comedy and open world. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 89 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Postal 2 holds a critic score of 59 out of 100. That places it above 15% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2003 averaged 69, so it scored 10 points below the year average. Players rate it 66, 7 points higher than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 20 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 37 hrs, roughly 1.9 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $0.99, that works out to about $0.05 per hour of the main story, or $0.03 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Pentium 3 1133MHz or AMD Athlon 733MHz Processor, 128 MB RAM and 32MB GeForce 2 or Radeon Video Card. At 0GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 10GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
