The game was infamously and almost universally panned by critics at the time of release, most notably the Computer Gaming World review in which their most Caustic Critic gave it the magazine's first ever zero-star review, writing that "until someone boxes up syphilis and tries to sell it at retail, Postal 2 is the worst product ever foisted upon consumers" - a quote that was proudly included on the boxes of re-releases. It was followed by an expansion pack, Apocalypse Weekend, which covers Saturday and Sunday of The Postal Dude's weirdest week, with new weapons and characters. Returning a library book? Book burners set the library on fire with him in it. Cashing his paycheck? Bank robbers storm the building and he gets caught in the crossfire. The Postal Dude - now considerably less Ax-Crazy - is married and lives in a trailer park, and the game covers what has to be the weirdest week of his life, as every day the simplest errands become life-or-death battles. Postal 2 is the Denser and Wackier 2003 sequel to the 1997 video game Postal. I can only remember that I did not feel that it was necessary to use catnip and cow heads to fight the final boss at that time.- Postal Dude, saying one of his many quips after killing someone. I have to say that I actually do not know how much harder the final boss fight is on POSTAL difficulty when compared to the lower difficulties, because the time I played through POSTAL 2 Apocalypse Weekend (on Easy difficulty) before this time was some time after the Fudge Pack was released, I also played it in the standard version. I actually had to deplete the bosses' shields once while the catnip effect was on and one cow head damaged it (which I again did with the assault rifle), but I was still able to beat the boss. Then, till the end of the boss fight, I shot it with the rocket launcher (the one that shoots normal explosive rockets). As soon as the effect stopped, I used another dose of catnip and threw all of the cow heads I had to the boss. Until the effect of the catnip wore of, I also shot its head with the pistol (the one that looks similar to a Dessert Eagle). Then, I used one dose of catnip and threw one cow head close enough to it. At first, I shot all of the Gary Coleman heads flying around the boss with the assault rifle. I realize that this would probably be a very tough step for someone who has played through the game to this point, but again, it might be worth it in the end. Should one not have enough catnip with him when he fights the boss, it might make it a lot easier to start again (if possible from the start of Military Base). While I think that it would be possible to solely kill the boss (I forgot the name already, haha, I was probably too excited to memorize it at the time it said its name) with weapons, if one does not want to spend a lot of time fighting it, I would recommend to use catnip, at least two doses and full ammo of Anthrax-infested cow heads. I just finished POSTAL 2 Complete on POSTAL difficulty and since I could not find any decent tips on how to beat the final boss on that difficulty, I thought that I should write down some.
