A sequel/expansion to Postal 2. Contains improvements but also quite a few negative bits. Overall it gets the same score as the original.

Postal 2 Apocalypse Weekend is a semi-sequel/expansion pack to Postal 2.You need the original Postal 2 game in order to install it.For a sequel, it does not have many new features.The story takes place after the events of Postal 2.You wake up in a hospital and then escape, while suffering severe hallucinations of gary coleman zombies and some other things.This game can be considered a "horror" game with these hallucination scenes.Another interesting new part of the game is the fact that there are zombies running around.You basically go around doing missions for people or even your personal gain.Let's start out with the positive.Apocalypse weekend includes four new weapons.A sledgehammer which is good for bashing people's heads in, a machete which is good for dismembering people, a scythe which can cut people in half and a new rocket launcher.While these weapons are great and really fun to use, they could have added a few more weapons, maybe some more guns.The graphics and gameplay are the same as Postal 2.Postal Dude still has his funny one liners, the loading times are much faster(though I believe this was actually fixed in "Share the Pain") and the hallucination scenes are pretty cool.Another main change from Postal 2 is that, the free-roam is for the most part gone.Unlike in Postal 2 where you had tasks to do and you could go about doing it however and whenever you wanted to, Apocalypse Weekend has a fixed story mode so there is little to no free roam.This can be good or bad.Because of this, the game has a somewhat better storyline, but I still miss going to random places and causing havoc.The game is also fairly short, just like the first one.It is however a bit harder.Some negative points of the game include the fact that you need to download a patch to be able to urinate in game.That was a fun and pivotal part of Postal 2.It helped a lot when you were on fire. This may not be for all copies, but for plenty you need to download a patch in order to urinate.Postal 2 Apocalypse Weekend is a great game on it's own and as a sequel, it has some improvements as well as some disadvantages in comparison to Postal 2.Overall, it's just as good as Postal 2.
