Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Oh man, I just got this today, and while I may already be on Part 3, Chapter 1 indicating that it is a very short game, it is still as kick ass as the original. It's been given the title 'A Film Noir Love Story' which it easily is. The music, actions, graphics, voices, story are all top notch. They may have changed how the characters look, but they've kept the original voices (well from those who survived anyway). To really understand the plot you have got to have played the first game, but if you can't be bothered going to buy that then there is a 2-min graphic novel outlining the events. An improvement from the original is the bullet time. Not only can you shoot-dodge and go into bullet time, but thanks to bullet time 2.0 the more bad guys you kill the faster you go, the slower the enimies go and the yellower the bullet time goes. You also get to play as the lovely Mona Sax, who you'll understand why she's in while you progress in the story. Over all I'ld give this game 93%
