And you can pick it up for 10 bucks if not less! Do not play the PS2 version it sucks, hell the PS2 could barely run the first one. The Bottom LineOverall this sequel does a rare thing it surpasses the original. The brooding cop has left the DEA and returned to the NYPD. When I rented the Xbox version I finished it before it was due back! Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne: With James McCaffrey, Wendy Hoopes, Jonathan Davis, Vince Viverito. The BadThe bad, Max Payne 2 can be finished in about 3 hours, it is very short even for an action game. It is so useful in fact that you will find yourself relying on it more than the bullet time! This move is essential to victory and very handing going around corners with foes on the other side. Max can now shoot dodge without using up any of his bullet time meter. The gameplay is very similar to the original. Loud and convincing gunshots, play it on 5.1 surround sound! The music is excellent particularly, “Late Goodbye” preformed by Poets of the Fall. The lighting effects are incredible even on lower end PC’s and of course on the Xbox, the PS2 version however does not fare well in this department, let’s face it the PS2 can’t run this game so why does it try? The Graphics are simply amazing in this one. Max is now a brooding drunk, you will find many of the characters have changed quite a bit none however as much as Payne. After his two-night killing spree in the first game, all charges against Max were. Many of the characters return many with bigger roles, as well as some new ones. It was released in 2003 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox. Other than that I do not buy that ‘film noir love story crap’ how can it be film noir if it is not a film?Īnyhow Max Payne 2’s plot is just as good as the originals albeit darker, and told out of sequence. The plot in this one is even darker than that of the original, and told almost backwards like film noir. The textures look muddy, the framerate is inconsistent and constantly borders on 'unplayable,' and the characters look even more like mannequins than they did in the other versions. Max can still slow time and still kick ass. As mentioned before, the PS2 version of Max Payne 2 is pretty much broken from a visual standpoint. The story is still told using graphic novel style panels. What hurts Max Payne 2 in sales isn't the game itself, but the system itself. Max’s head is messed up and as you play the game you unravel the last few days of Max’s life and see his fall from grace and his fall for another woman. Max Payne 2 for the Playstation 2 is probably one of the most underrated games to slip under the radar of the mainstream videogame public. Max Payne 2 introduces us to a wreak of a man. I wanted to review this one for the PC, but there were too many reviews, so since I also played this version I decided to write it for this one.
