For those of you who never played the original Postal, I'll let you know that it wasn't a wacky and silly game like Postal 2 is. This game tried its hardest to be as offensive as possible. It was an isometric shooter that had only one goal in mind: kill as many cops/swat/soldiers/ect as you could while innocent civilians run around in the crossfire, until the game allows you to move on to the next level. Postal 1 caused quite a stir during 1997 in both the media and in politics, but combined with mindlessly fun gameplay and dark attempts at humor, the game became the definition of a cult classic.

For those of you who have played the original Postal, this redux version polished a lot of the old things while adding in a bunch of new things. The graphics look far better, there's new levels to play on, there's a brand new "rampage" game mode that adds more playability, it supports 4 player coop, and there's a new revolver to shoot people with. But probably the best thing about this Postal Redux is that the dreadful controls from the original have been fixed. Gone are the tanky and sluggish feeling the old game had for controls, they've been replaced with full mouse support. Things like moving around, aiming, and shooting feels natural and is a breeze to do now.

My only real complaint is that it feels like there's much less dark humor in this redux than there was in the original. However, if you're a fan of the postal series, or just like playing games with wanton and senseless amounts of violence, Postal Redux is well worth the $8.99 to buy it. 4.0/5.0
