Frankly, Max Payne 2 makes me confident that the best is yet to come for gaming, that the awesome narrative and creative capability of this medium has yet to be explored to its fullest extent.
The visuals are excellent, the voice work is superior to what we usually get dealt in the action genre, and I only wish the game was a bit longer. A lot longer actually, but it's more because this kind of game is such a rare find than because that find is relatively meager.

Just as good if not even better than the first game. Astonishing visuals and level design, and an adicting gameplay... I cannot wait to see what Remedy is planning for the remakes!

A brand new story that will keep you totally engrossed. Updated graphics and the same great gameplay with brand new Bullet Time effects.
It's likely to be deemed too similar to the original to attract too many converts, but it's short, it's sweet, and it's been put together with so much style it frankly embarrasses the ham-fisted efforts of most other developers.
Produces a great, no, an outstanding single player experience, but I have trouble recommending a game with so little game for like $40.
It’s a game that fatigues quickly. There’s nothing wrong with the gameplay, per se; it just feels a little bit empty. Try playing through the game without using the bullet time feature, and you’ll see how bland it really is.
Is this the most violent game of all time? Maybe. Its ragdoll physics may not match the flying limbs and broken faces of Soldier of Fortune, but its throwaway approach to life and death is genuinely shocking, leaving a bitter, metallic aftertaste. This is neither a fall nor an ascension. This is an update. [Jan 2004, p.105]

Max Payne великая игра на все времена, ну лично для меня. Но сейчас решил вспомнить Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, и рассказать почему сиквел меня не зацепил.
Да Max Payne 2 вышел на новом движке и выглядел на голову выше приквела. В нём также доработали стрельбу и сделали катсцены на движке, а не в виде комикса как в первой части.
И всё бы было хорошо, если бы не Max Payne в 2001 году.
Было такое ощущение, что Remedy стеснялись первого Макса, своей бюджетности на то время, что ли. Так как студия в сиквеле отказались почти от всего нарратива оригинала.
В помойку ушла нуарная атмосфера, история трагедии семьи Макса, ёлы палы они даже фейс Сэма Лейка на пенсию отправили.
Игра из такого триллера превратилась в приключенческий шутан в стиле Джеимса Бонда, без роковой женщины тоже не обошлось. Вроде действие происходит всего два года спустя, а Макс уже крутит романы с наёмницей. И я конечно не так хорошо знаю законы США, но уверен ни какой синатор не поможет избежать электрического стула человека собственноручно убившего несколько сотен, если не тысяч человек. Даже если они бандиты.
Но это мелкие нестыковки.
Самое главное игра потеряла ту самую атмосферу обречённости, что была в первой части. При этом в Max Payne 3, как мне показалось, эта самая обреченность хоть не совсем, но вернулась. Хотя игру делали другие люди.
А ещё в Max Payne была офигенная музыка!
Но это моё личное мнение. Может я просто не того ждал от сиквела.

Если бы не товарищ, который подстёгивал проходить дальше, игра была бы дропнута на первом часу. Резкая смена тона, существование Пэйна не в вакууме и его взаимодействия не только через ствол забрало у меня ощущение, которое давала первая часть. Не оценил ни обновленного героя, ни его одержимость мадамой, ни уровни. Геймплей вроде остался тот же, но без остальных составляющих для меня не работает.
P.S. Друг после того, как увидел ещё раз игру и как я ее прошел, поменял мнение и не понял чем она ему так понравилось.

Summary Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is a violent, film-noir love story for mature audiences. Dark, tragic and intense, the in-depth story is a thrill-ride of shocking twists and revelations. Love hurts. The fans of Max Payne won?t be disappointed. The fierce, yet stylish action sequences and slow-motion gunplay that has become synonymous ...
