Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Reviews

The next installment of Max Payne has him pitted against basically the world as he hunts down mobs, and groups and such, while at the same time falling in love with a murder suspect named Mona. In my opinion, the story could have been a little more developed with a bit more things happening, because the missions seem dull to an extent, yet I still love playing them.

The gameplay is exactly the same with the exception of bullet time. Bullet time is Max in slow motion doing twists and turns taking his enemies down. I must admit, it does look rather cool. Though the game would definitely have been better without it, because of originality.

The graphics in Max Payne 2 were much better than the original, but that wasn't necessarily for the best. I was sort of disappointed with the way they changed the characters looks around a lot, mainly Max's facial features and actions. I much more preferred his other character look. The other characters looked nothing like the first one either. For example Jim Bravura, and Alfred Wooden. Other than that, the characters are great.

I though the sound effects were way better than the original. The enemies are much more intelligent and you don't usually seeing them acting stupid. There dialogue is much more advanced as well. You will now hear them saying new things. Everything in that realm was great, until I realized that Max's voice was basically completely changed to where he doesn't sound like himself. It would have been better of they would have kept his other voice. I am not hating on Max Payne 2. I am just stating some flaws that I would have hoped were non existent. Other than those minor flaws, this is one great game, and definitely worth buying.
