Max payne 2 is a really superb game. The only things that keeps it from getting perfect reviews is lack of length.
I really enjoyed may payne 2. The only gripes I had with this game was the ineffectiveness of grenades on staircases and the slight lack of realism in the rag dolls but I believe if there is to ever be a sequel these things would be improved on/ or cleared up in a snap.
I beat this game on all difficulties so I'm pretty sure I'm better than everyone who wrote a review on this game with game spot because I just mutilated this game basically in one night on the hardest difficulty, "dead on arrival" I got a different ending so it was worth it.
I've also had memories playing this game moons ago, and getting times like 18 minutes on one of the downloadable levels you get off the official game site for the dead man walking new games. I also got to play with better resolution on a computer with better graphics cards so I had my computer settings turned down when playing with this computer even though my computer is newer and has more gigabites. If it just had a better graphics card. My computer made installing complicated, and it took several attempts until I finally got someone more computer critiqued to install it for me.
