Plenty of guest appearances and carnage. Ships with full version of Postal 2 videogame and includes Boll boxing matches as bonus feature.Cons: Some really low points of humor. Not quite as shocking as promised or bloody as expected but definitely not for kids.Overall Score: One thumb up and one thumb down; 75/100; C; * * 1/2 out of five.

It’s a sad truth that games based on movies generally suck. Movies based on games, unfortunately, usually aren’t much better.

Well, not exactly.
