Not as good as the first

If there was never a max payne and this came out. Everyone would have liked it better, but there is one so I hate it. The slow diving and slow bullet dodging are still there but have changed for the worse. Graphics are chucky and the textures are ugly. Sound is OK. Running around seems hard and I think the plot is just about the worst for any game ever made. Very short. still a fun game, but not for the $50.

better than the first

this game is so much better than the first. For example: much better graphica, better sound, more enemy's, little harder. But there are some cons about this game but not to many, 1. very short game (only 3 parts)!! 2. Max's movement is a little bit hard to control.
I suggest you buy this game even though its pricy. Plus you get a Max Payne mini-game once you beat it the first time. So buy it. NOW!!

Poor sequel

This game is little to no improvement upon the first. There are practically no new moves that can be used in bullet time and the graphics are a poor quality. The story is weak and predicatable. Rent this game before buying or you will likely be regretting a $50 purchase.

i think this game is top notch, great graphics which are noticably improved from Max Payne 1. You feel like you are inside the action and the characters seem very much real.

This is the best game ever and now it's your turn to see.

To all of you whom is game freaks or out of control gamers like me.Try Max Payne 2: Fall of Max Payne, Its a great mod and sispence climate that will make you play the game for houres. I'd tried the game and i've got to tell you i've give it a 5 star game and also the greatest story ever. This is one of the games that you have to tell your friends and other's. I'd don't want to be a drag about it but, however it's the greatest game that was invented in the Game world. so go ahead and try this game and parents whom is reading this and trying to game the best game for your child or teenager/adult.teen this is one of them. Again go ahead and try this new game you know your missing it. I hope i wasnot a drag.

Far worse than the first one...

There is a reason that this game earned paltry, failing grades from GameSpot (6.5) and other reviewers - because it totally sucks. The framerates are stunningly slow (turning 360 degrees takes 4-5 seconds), the mission load times are 20-30 seconds (what??), the bullet-time is no different from normal time (it's sepia toned - oh boy!), and the auto-save feature from the first version is missing (forcing you to stop and save your game every 1-2 minutes). In summary, this is the single worst sequel that Rockstar has ever produced, and after finishing it in under 3 days, i would barely recommend it for a rental, much less a purchase.

NOT GOOD

This is the worst playstaion game I have ever played. Its impossible to shoot or even move your guy around! This game was good for the PC but it is horrible for playstaion. Don't Buy This Game!

Mediocre at best

I expected more from Rockstar, the company that brought us the incredible world of GTA. Max Payne 2 is defintely not GTA. The gameplay is awkward, the story is horribly written (the dialogue is so bad it makes you cringe), and the main difficulty in the game seems to lie with not getting so irritated with the game that you stop playing it. One of the few redeeming features is the bullet time mode, which is pretty cool. The humourous elements in the narrative can be entertaining as well, but it is ususally overshadowed by melodrama. Maybe if you could buy this game for $5 it would be worth it.

What?

I have MP2 on my computer and, to tell you the truth, it's one of the best games I have. So, when I rented it on the PS2, I thought it'd be better... I thought wrong. This game is, to tell you the truth one of the worst games I've played... period!

OK, but very repetitive and very difficult

Not what I expected it to be. It becomes more and more difficult as you play, to the point where the fun just stops. Quite repetitive. Repetitive is one thing, but repetitive and extremely difficult was a bit too much for me. I figure I may have gotten just past the half way point. Where she and Max are fighting together and you are controlling her and after many many hours of trying I couldn't keep Max from dying. Just simply too repetive and difficult for me to enjoy. If you're an extreme die hard at finishing games you may *ENDURE* it. Believe me, that's what you'll be doing from start to finish. I enjoyed the first Max, but the second is simply tooooo much.
