If you enjoyed the first Max Payne, you'll enjoy this one as well. To be honest, I saw little difference between the 2 games other than the storyline. What sets Max Payne apart from other FPS games is the storytelling, mood-setting, and overall drama involved. The 'bullet-time' feature is an extremely enjoyable and valuable function in the game. If you're looking for a FPS game that has more than just 'gun down as many enemies as possible', then Max Payne may be for you.
I'll never forget when I heard that they were making Max Payne 2! The first game was so fun to play and the gameplay and plot was so consuming, that I just couldn't wait for the second one. Well, lets just say that I was not disappointed in the least. Max Payne 2 has all the gameplay and "Stop-Action" motion (known from The Matrix) as in the first. My only complaint was that it was a much shorter game, or at least it seemed that way. I don't know if the levels were less difficult (but you can change the difficulty levels) or if the game was just shorter. I think it was shorter. The hardest level was definitely with the end boss. Not using a strategy guide, it took me a while to figure out how to finally take this guy out. But that is not a complaint, it is actually a very tricky level if you're not using a strategy guide. Overall the game was extremely fun with the usuall Max Payne gameplay. Enjoy! Here's a description: When Max Payne debuted in July 2001 as an award-winning, best-selling PC game, it revolutionized the action genre with its cinematic combat sequences fueled by the groundbreaking use of slow motion and compulsive narrative-driven gameplay.

When Max Payne2 was anounced on the cover of PC Gamer back in 2002 we gamers were pretty excited about it,that is up until we got to the local Software Etc(now is Gamestop)and found out that we would need to upgrade our haedware to run it,royal bummer man. Luckily it was also availible on xbox and ps2 so at least we got to play it. which is the best part of this game, the story is excellentand the game play is also great and bullettime never gets old,they used the priciple in Fallout3.But what were looking at here is the PC verson and the coll part of it all is that what was once high level system requirement of your PC is now very low coparativly to just an an average pc.the good news in all this is that those who didnt get a chance to experience MP2 on their pc can now find the game for around 5bucks and with even a low buck average off the shelf 2 year old laptop there is no probs running it. If you have played Max Payne you must get this,if you are one of those that played MP2 on the Ps2 or xbox you should get this becuse l the things you liked about it is even better on PC. and now you can just laugh at that system requirement on the back of the box...Read full review
I like this game overall. Graphics are great, story line is great, and it runs smooth without any glitches. It plays a lot like a movie with cut scenes and a mature plot. The "bullet time" is a basically like a slow motion feature. Its kind of like the Matix movie's slow motion action scenes. It probably wouldn't be a very good game if it didn't have the bullet time feature - it would be really hard to finish the game without it anyway. I still liked the original Max Payne game better. When the first Max Payne game came out it put a whole new twist on all classic shooter games out there. Max Payne 2 could have taken it to a whole new level but it seemed they just took the same game and added new levels to continue the story. Usually when Rockstar puts out a sequel they make it much better than the the previous game.Read full review
Max Payne made a succesful attempt to take gaming experience to a higher, more exciting and sophisticated level. It is a step beyond typical action games, offering players a lot more than just a crosshair and weapons. The story is about a man's tragedy and his ensuing justice, played out through graphic novel pages. It really adds a film-noir feel. It is a direct sequel to the original and the story picks up right after the events of the first game. Definitely, the most enjoying feature of the game is the "bullet time" effect. Inspired by the slow-motion / freeze-frame moments of the Matrix, Max Payne employs the stylized camera movement known as "Bullet-Time" where all action is slowed down to a point that you can actually see bullets whizzing through the air! The game is pretty long and offers many modes of difficulty. But even after you play the game for the third time, you can always download and play any of the available modifications. There are many of them and they are FREE! So..., what are you waiting for?Read full review
