What players say
A pretty good retro shooter, however, in every aspect its below the greats we have had in recent years like Turbo Overkill and Cultic for example. The art-style is decent, the look and design of the levels are decent with a few stand out maps that look and play great. The guns are all decent and enjoyable to use, the enemies are decent and there is a good variety, the secrets are not bad. However its not top tier...
My favourite postal game so far i love the arcade style the dude in this is my favrioute and probably will remain it because the voice for him is perfect and i love his design
