And if so, what do you think about it?

It's actually quite fun for a while But the fun is derived from novelty, including over-the-top violence, racism, and sexism. It's very all very cartoonish violence, but since it's novelty, it quickly gets old. I think the shock values don't last that long. It has pretty good graphics, but horribly long loading times, even on a high-end computer. Like I said, fun for the first ten hours, then quickly loses its steam. Makes you realize that it's just purely graitutious violence.

For anyone who doesn't know what the game is about, I'll have a short description.

It's a very controversial game, one filled with violence. Believe me, it is very, very violent. It doesn't get its "M" rating for nothing. For example, you can kill anything that's in the game. Well, it sounds like GTA then? No, it's not GTA. GTA doesn't let you take a shovel and decapitate some guy's head. GTA doesn't let you pee on someone until they puke. (There's actually a meter indicating the amount of urine you have.) Beside the violence, there are numerous politically-incorrect things in that game. For example, you have the choice to kill all the gay men in a gay bar. You can shoot Gary Coleman, and everyone seems to have gun(s). For example, when my character went to church to have confessions, an Arab terrorists strapped with bombs came in, and suddenly the priest took out a shotgun and killed him.

The game is full of content like that, but like I said, it quickly gets old. So if you can't stand the rampant violence and senseless shock tactics, then don't play it. At least I hope the developers sincerely mean it when they say the content is all supposed to be nothing but some fun. At least they have a difficulty mode called "Liebermode."

Borrowed it from a friend and played it for four hours.
Funny for about 2 hours, then it just got stupid.

Tried to follow the plot, but that got boring soon.

Then I just went around and looked for good sniping places.

Rating: 2/10

fun. very enjoyable and evil. but yes, the lifespan of this game is shorter than the amount of time you spend installing the thing. not worth it.

I've got the first postal game, but somehow I just can't beat the first level. After I've killed 100%, I just can't get further, and I've tried just about everything.
