Both are intentionally highly controversial due to high levels of violence and stereotyping. Unlike its predecessor, Postal² is a first-person shooter based on the Unreal Graphics Engine.
The player takes on the role of 'The Postal Dude' (all evidence given in-game indicates that the character's full legal name actually is "The Postal Dude, Jr.": his father's tombstone reads "T. Dude Sr."; characters constantly call him "Mr. The Dude" and a package for him is addressed to "Postal Dude"), a tall thin man with a goatee, sunglasses, a blue alien t-shirt, and a long black leather coat. The Postal Dude also wears a Happy Smiley pin on his right lapel and a cross pin on his left one. 'The Postal Dude' lives in a trailer park with his nagging wife (only identified in the credits as 'Postal Dude's Bitch') in the mining town of Paradise, Arizona.
The game levels are split into days of the week starting Monday and finishing Friday. At the beginning of each day, Dude is given several tasks to accomplish, such as 'Get milk', 'Confess sins', and other seemingly mundane tasks. The purpose of the game is to finish all of the tasks throughout the week, although the game encourages the player to play in any way he wishes, be it as civilly or as chaotically as possible. There are unique consequences to whichever path is chosen.
Dude must put up with being flipped the bird, mugged, attacked by protesters, put upon by an obnoxious convenience store owner/terrorist and his patrons who cut before Dude in the "money-line", plus an annoying marching band, a murderous toy mascot named Krotchy, the police and SWAT team, the ATF and the National Guard, a religious cult, savage butchers, psycho Taliban terrorists, and Gary Coleman, among many other things....

"
The game is nothing but a sandbox of senseless slaughter, hate, and pissing on people’s heads. It represents probably the most blatant attempt in game history on the baser aspects of the 13-24 year-old male demographic: Xenophobia, racism, and violence."

"Bringing out the repressed psychopath in all of us, Postal 2 was the first game with the ability to piss on people and to use a cat as a makeshift gun silencer. Carrying out a series of mundane tasks including queuing at the bank and buying groceries, the game can be completed without harming a single person…. But where’s the fun in that ?
This allowed Postal 2 to fit into every developers favourite excuse – stating that the violence is entirely up to the player themselves. When your game"
"Date: 2003
Game concept: An open ended FPS game with an interactive town all around you. Do you walk around doing mundane day-to-day tasks? Do you get rude and flip strangers the bird? Or do you pick up that can of gasoline and burn the whole goddamn place to the ground?
Result: Although the levels are not violent by nature, there's lots in the town to piss you off, and the game clearly urges the gamer to 'go postal' for fun. Most of the crude racist sexist homophobic jokes were done as"
