Really fun, it's a short game even on the excess postage mode but there is multiplayer and rampage mode so I see my self playing more of this 9/10
Postal Redux is the remake of the very first Postal game, which had a different, more serious tone than it's sequel. This game is such an enigma to me, because while I don't like playing with the original and this game has the better gameplay, the presentation and atmosphere gets lost with it's graphics. The original had a more gritty feeling artstyle, it feels like they wanted to improve the graphics, but at the...
played the original, and picked this up on sale. cleans up the graphics well. as well adds more levels, rick hunters voice, and an overall dark and gritty classic. it is not black comedy like postal 2 is. this game is violence supreme. but, worth a play.
