Graphics: Graphics have improved from the last Max Payne. Dive stuff here and there, or slow down time here and there. Great guns, and sleek movies that you can do. Gameplay: If you played the first, you'll like this one. Hell continues throughout his journey, once again. Thugs stand in the way of Max and the answers he seeks. She holds the answers to the questions that haunt May Payne himself. Finds a woman named Mona sax, which who Max Payne thought passed away. Improving from the last, and making this sequel that much better. Another major contributing factor to the eerieness of the game is the creepy sounds. Sound: The voice acting is exceptional, with the crazy baddies sounding genuianely insane. Some parts of the game have an eerie feel to them because of the good visuals. The cut-scenes are done similar to a comic book, with the talk and thinking boxes. The in-game graphics and the player models are decent. the only downside is the game is a little too short. the control scheme is basically perfect for this kind of game. There is a good selection of weapons, some of which can be dual wielded.
Gameplay: the bullet time-like feature is a wonderful one that was carried over from the first game. It has a great story and a great setup with the comic book feel to it. Overall: Max Payne 2 is a very fun game and is how a 3rd person shooter game should be made.
