This time round, Max's life got complicated with a new girl, a very cool assassin with a Dragunov. In fact, my favorite part of the game is where you have to play as the femme fatale and snipe down enemies who are trying to surround Max as the computer controls him. Even so, she has to fight her way to strategic vantage points which are guarded by goons as well and you get maximum shooter action while you combine close quarter fights and sharpshooting skills at the same time.
Well, that's just one part. The rest of the action is just as packed. The story-telling also retains the noir comic style if you like it in the first one. Bullet-time is still a blast to use and watch. Again, a very well blend of action and investigative storyline.
