THIS is how you do DLC.

Postal 2: Paradise Lost is more or less a sequel to Postal 2. According to the developers, this is an apology for Postal 3.

The gameplay is simliar, with several new weapons, enemies, and characters to urinate on. The Dude is back in Paradise a few years after the nuclear explosion in the first game. Champ has run off and you begin your journey in search of him. Early on you'll encounter extremist activists, violent Chinese chefs, and rabid dogs that can join you(for a treat, of course). Speaking of animals, cats are still here, and you know exactly what to do with them.

If you played Postal 2, you will recognize many of the locations and be pleased to see how they've been altered in this post-apocalyptic world. The bank is now where PU Games are developed. You will notice right away that Running With Scissors isn't afraid to speak their minds about issues in today's industry.

I've only played a couple hours so far, but I am happy to recommend this to fans of Postal 2. Hopefully, money made through this DLC will be put towards the development of a TRUE Postal 2 sequel.

Now sign my petition.

Edit: Just wanted to add a few things after playing a bit longer.

I still recommend it, but this DLC isn't without it's flaws. I'm generally running at 60fps (which shouldn't be a problem at all), but in a later area I was getting terrible framerates. After that was over it was back to normal.

Another issue is with the sound, and I found this to be a problem in the base game as well. Even at the lowest setting for audio, both music and SFX, it's terribly loud at certain parts. Rain sounds while inside a building, and at one point there is a person playing guitar and both of these are deafening.

Hopefully these minor issues are looked into.
