Better than original Max Payne

This is a dark and deep game that I enjoyed greatly. It's exciting, it has interesting twists, and it's a very good shooter at it's core. The locations you play are great. The sound is great. I had no problem with the movements of the players. You get to play as Max and Mona. I put it up with one of the best games of it's genre.

Bring on Max Payne 3!

way worse than the first!!!

I bought this game for $1 brand new and much more would not have been worth it. I loved the first Max Payne. The story and game play was great and challenging and long. this one had a terrible story and they changed a lot of things to be worse than the first. the weapons are much worse, and Max isn't as ironic and funny. there is basically no plot, you just play missions. In one cut seen Max gets shot point blank in the head and gets up with only a headache!!! the only reason i gave it two stars is because it was still kinda fun to kill bad guys and i got it so cheap. this game definitly does not live up to the first and very much disapointed me. If you havent played the first one i definitly recommend it but don't waste your time with the sequal

Could be better

This was one of the worst games I have ever played (it really doesn't even earn 1 star). Your movement is very (and I mean very) choppy and there are even more cut scenes than Metal Gear Solid 2. These cut away scenes are not a bad thing per say. They work well in the Metal Gear games and games like Dead to Rights where the scenes load quickly and keep the story moving. However, in this atrocity the slow story line combined with the slow "loading..." makes Max Payne very bad for the impatient gamer. To sum up this game, it's choppy. Your character's movement is choppy and the constant jumping to cut scenes is choppy. It's not a good game. I was really surprised seeing such a bad game from Rockstar. I would not recommend this game. Get Manhunt instead, it's a lot more fun and the character control is very good.

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.
