Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Strengths: Graphics are a nice upgrade, ragdoll physics are lots of fun, the story and voice acting are great, even more fun than the original, different game modes are a nice diversion

Weakness: A little too short

With newer graphics, including some great ragdoll physics, this is a good sequel to the original Max Payne. The story is even better this time around, and the voice acting is definately excellent. The story is a little short compared to the original, though once you're through it, some additional game modes give it some nice replay value. If you liked the first one, this one is definately worth...

Short but satisfying

Strengths: Gritty storyline and wild FPS gameplay

Weakness: Short game length but can vary difficulty levels

The Fall of Max Payne is the sequel to the original Max Payne game by Rockstar. Like the first game, the game is a first person shooter (FPS) with a storyline that plays like a comic book. The storyline is gritty and mature with sex and drug content as well as a conspiracy theory intertwined from the first game. The graphics and level design for the game are good. Unlike the first game, there are...

Shortness is Sweetness

Strengths: Very similar to the first game, engaging story and gameplay.

Weakness: Tricks like bullet time no longer seem as fresh.

The first Max Payne was a great action title, some freshness that came out of left field. The second time around never quite captures that revolutionary moment the first time you used bullet time. You know, when you just had to show a friend or roommate nearby and they immediately wanted to try it out for themselves. Still MP2 puts forth a valiant effort and maintains the noir feel. Some have...

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Strengths: Graphics, story, and gameplay.

Weakness: Main character design has changed for the worst and its a short game.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is a 3rd person action/shooter for XBOX. You play as Max Payne in the sequel to Max Payne. The game looks good and the physics used on the bodies is fun to play with. The main thing I didn't like about the game is the character designs of Max have changed to look like some middle-aged old fart. He looks nothing like the original Max Payne design. Give the game 3...

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Strengths: More Max Payne.

Weakness: More of the same, and it's pretty short.

Did you already play and finish Max Payne? If not, this isn't the game for you. It's more of the same, plain and simple. And, it's over quick. If you did like Max Payne, though, this is exactly what you want. It's really just more levels and a new story on the old game.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Just like the first, the game is a shoot-em-up blast. A little short compared to most games but the graphics are much improved over the first. If you liked Max Payne you'll enjoy this one as well.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Strengths: Interesting story, an aging Max, improved in-game physics and cinematics

Weakness: Not the same Max from the original, limited replay value, still too short

The original Max Payne had unique digitized graphics that placed a person's face onto the videogame characters. Max himself was also relatively young and full of ambition as well, but Max 2 finds our hero a bit older and not necessarily any wiser. The digitized graphics have been replaced with standard in-game models, and our hero has been given a love interest in the way of a lady hitman. The...

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Strengths: Intense action, cool effects

Weakness: Too short, some hammy dialogue

You wouldn't think that one of the most action-packed third-person shooters of 2003 would revolve around a love story, but Max Payne 2, in fact, centers around the complicated relationship between Max and his female accomplice, Mona Sax. Don't worry, though — the lovey-dovey bits are mixed with a great deal of violence and shooting, complete with awesome visual effects. Max Payne 2 has some of...
