 Max Payne 2 - First Impressions & Shots - media
(hx) 03:50 PM CEST - Oct,16 2003
Woohoo! As you probably already noticed, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is out! If you live in North America you can probably go to your local store and pick up the game right now. If you live in Europe then you have to wait until the 24th October (console versions are still slated for a 4th December). Today I spent about 1 hours playing it and I'm impressed! I'd say Max Payne strikes back :) As I said here many times, third-person perspective is not my favourite game mode. But for Max Payne 2 I'll make an exception, because it's very good playable even from 3rd person view like the original Max Payne was. The action is great, it starts out slow but there are some really cool cinematic battles in the game. Old good pal Bullet time 2.0 is really cool and it looks great, the screen color desaturates and yellows a bit like old film when you turn it on. The story continues, and everything's bigger and better and what not. What. Were you expecting something else? :P I will try to finish & review the game as soon as possible. Here are a few screenshots I grabbed while playing the game.

Is it worth another $50, or would I be better off playing through MP1 over again?

it certainly looks better, but it is too easy.

Fuck the price. Look whats inside the game. i just had finished the whole game. And i am speecheless- i havent seen anything like this from years-since 2001 when max payne 1 had come. The game is perfectly created. Awesome Story line. and bullet time is cool but nothing addition from the first one. Just a yellowish color that makes it more classi :)). BUt overall the game is excelent if i could of give it a score i would give it 9.5/10 -if it had Multiplayer i give it 10 :))- and trust me if u were a fan of the first max -u will just love the new one. The game is about 10 hours long -compared to max payne 1 which was 4 h. But it wworhts every second of it :))). HIGLY RECOMMENDED. Halflife too sux my pumpkin head. max paynes physics are even batter than HL2s-and the graphics too. REmedy had done it again :)))

Comments from Unknown error - "The game is about 10 hours long -compared to max payne 1 which was 4 h" Where the hell do you get 4hr!!?? Is that whilst on narcotics? I finished MP1 in about 11-12hrs playing every nook and cranny that i could find! I certainly didn't 'console shoot' my way through it skipping the story screens -which you sure must have done :P

I'm not boing to buy Max payne 2, plsyed the first one twice thst wat enuf Max for me for a life time, if thay came out with a Splinter Cell 2 for PC now I'd buy that game for sure, buying MAX 2 would be like buying MS FLight Sim 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2020, it's like what's the point soame old thing after playing it once again you sit back and think to your self "MAM I payed $40.00 bucks for that" :( Hay Web Master PHP sucks why don't you use ASP.NET or don't you know how!
