Postal 2 is a first-person shooter for PC inspired by Running With Scissors, Inc., another first-person shooter in the series. Unlike its predecessor, Postal 2 is entirely first-person and is powered by Unreal Engine 2. Missions in the game seem mundane, such as finding water, getting Gary Coleman's autograph, or visiting a church for confession. However, the game's difficulty increases as players encounter different factions, such as Parents Against Violent Video Games or a group of fans who decided to replay the original game.
