^^ To sum up the review, good gunplay, interesting visual style at times, bugs, character whose motivations aren't really justified, uninteresting world.
Now, I have a friend (who likes the Postal games, mind you), who claims to have gotten the game early. He said that the game is akin to a B-movie and that it's more "schlock than edgy". There are side missions and objectives and the like that require certain skills. But overall he admitted that its marketing was more to stir controversy by pretending to be a 'politically incorrect' serious edgy game in order to stir up interest.
I'm not going to play the game myself, but based off what I've heard, the game isn't worth much of anything. It's a B-movie advertised as something else. I have respect for the GB mods, so if they feel this topic is going to stir up trouble or is unwanted, I won't shed a tear. And, yes, I know it's obvious to point out that the game is silly and childish due to its edginess marketing and wanting to elicit a response. The game, however, is inconsequential. It's not worth arguing over. Wait for a game that actually attempts to say something instead of a game that says nothing.
