Quite a bit lame, but it's still a nice game.

User Rating: 7.7 | El Matador PC
By abhichoke | Review Date:
From the previews I have read before it looked like it['s going to be another gta copy. But then it turns out to be a Max Payne 2 'mod'.
Anyway, this game took all the good aspects of the Max Payne series and added some more of their original innovation. I liked the ragdoll physics, the sound and the motion blur when I use slomo. But this game failed to deliver a nice story for it was cut short in the ending and I wanted to play some more of it. Also, the AIs are irrational, when you shootdodge they can shoot you in the middloe of the air precisely even you surprise them when you pop out of your cover, or sometimes they don't see you at all even you shoot his friend next to him with a shotgun in 1 ft!
My summary : Nice form, nice gameplay, sucks at the story and AIs.
