Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

THE GOOD:
Over ten guns.

Two playable characters, Max and Mona.

Coolish cutscenes

Good voice acting

Bullet Time. It's not a game otherwise.

Max is now wiser.

Rag doll phyhics. See 'em fly!

Plenty of gore.

THE BAD:
Average graphics.

Annoying nightmare bits.

You can only be Mona for a tiny bit.

Poor save system.
Rubbish ending.

You can get Max Payne 1 for £20.

Voices sometimes stun themselves.

SUMMARY:
This game is a bit of a disappointment for me. There is plenty of things about it that are bad but I'll talk about the good stuff first. Bullet time is better than ever because when you hold R2 you go slow-mo but it's all green and if you the reload button you do this really cool spin in slow-mo. Doesn't sound great but it is. You play as now two people Max and Mona. Mona is the woman on the cover. She has...

THE GOOD:
Plot, Graphics, Weapons, Bullet Time,

THE BAD:
Nothing

SUMMARY:
I loved everything about this game. Bullet time was much better, as were the graphics (Max had facial expression!) The detail in this game was awesome, better than last game. (Like if you bumped into a box it would fall over, you could still get sodas from the machine and whatnot). Scenery was some of the best I've ever seen. Mona looked really good, and I'm glad we got to play as her, that was so much fun! (Probably cause I'm a girl, so sometimes I'd rather play her than Max ) Guns in this game were good too. My favorite would have to be the Dragunov. Also LOVED the plot. Classic romance story! It was a great way to end the game. I don't know about another game though, that seemed to be the end of it, but I sure wouldn't mind.

THE GOOD:
Better much everything...

THE BAD:
The graphics could be a little better, and the gameplay can be a little faster...

SUMMARY:
This is one good game. I never played MP1 yet, but i am sure its good. This game is fun... more fun when you have game shark cheats...

THE GOOD:

w00t! w00t! Blood!

Great sound effects and voice acting.

Bullet Time is back and it truly better than ever.

Very re-playable.

Fairly easy controls, not off the word go, but still...

Nice variety of weapons.

Ragdoll Physics! Hell yeah!

You really won't appreciate MP2 as much as you thought until you hear the ending credits.

Comic effects bring inspiration and flare to the joints of the game.

Destructible environments.

Characters so hatable you can almost taste the conspiracy! - Beautiful!

Gritty atmosphere and story.

Nightmare sections are less patience-demanding.

THE BAD:

Graphics - PS1-styled at times...

Repetetive enemy noises.

Ledge sequences are un-forgivable.

SUMMARY:
This is really good, but a whole lot better on your PC or Xbox, but if you liked the first MP, then pick this up on the cheap if you can....

THE GOOD:
-bullet time 2.0
-guns, guns, guns
-cinematic storyline
-max's face moves (lol)

THE BAD:
-graphics aren't of the best quality
-a tad drmatic at times
-confusing if you didn'y play the first

SUMMARY:
A good game overall. It worth buying if you enjoy shooter or the gamer series. Not worth it if you don't so rent it or borrow it from a friend. If you buy it you probably will enjoy it. The graphics could be better, but hey what can you ask for. Neither the PS2 or XBox has a graphics processor that can match the PC. The run and gun aspect of the game is fun. Bullet time is slightly improved with Bullet Time 2.0 whcih happens after Max has killed a few enemies in a row. Time will get slower, but Max will move as he normally would. The game custom tailors the difficulty level for you. If it sees you blowing through the game, it will make it harder for you. After you beat it once you unlock several different...

THE GOOD:
everything!!!!!!!!!!

THE BAD:
nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUMMARY:
whoever wrote the review that gave this 1.5 was either retarded or on drugs. The graphics were fine. The guy who wrote the 1.5 review says that the slow mo thing doesnt do anything well try pressing L1 and he does aa mad dive through the sky while shooting ive never shot a guy without using the dive because it helps a lot and makes the game look cool and more exciting. there are a few flaws yet the coolness of the game comensates for it i say buy it deffinatly buy it buy it right now if you dont have a drivers liscence run to the shops. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . now stop reding and get it.

SUMMARY:
Right it's time for another great review with me, Mart!! Now today i'm going to do something different and break it up into sections!! (Scores out of 10)

Graphics
score - 1.2
The graphics look like they are 5 years old and are frightfully like Syphon Filter on the PS1. I mean even in FMVs when he bends his coat stays stiff!!!!!!


Load Times
score - 2.4
The load times take ages and they dont seem to be loading anything at all except a 5 second FMV where...
