Here is an extract of a review of Max Payne 2 at GamesDomain. Are we going to sue Remedy over this? ;)
There are harder modes, the against-the-clock speed running mode from the original, and a new gameplay style, "Dead Man Walking," which pits Max against an ever-increasing number of enemies in an attempt to stay alive for as long as possible.
Full Review Here... (http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk/gdreview/zones/reviews/pc/oct03/Max_Payne2.html)
Additionally...
More unusually, Max and Mona enjoy a fully-realised (albeit brief) physical relationship, and there is a small amount of nudity.
I doubt we'll sue Remedy over that bit :lol:
You guys are famous!!!! ;)
Max payne 2 is a great game ...........
My son as been playing it solid now for 2 days
SLoWHaND
I'll second that, an evening just flew by!
If you want to see the havoc physics engine in action (the same one that is in HL2) then get this. It really is amazing and no death sequence is the same. All the bodies fly around convincingly and slump correctly against objects.
Also the bits of debris that fly from boxes when hit by bullets also obey the laws of physics (with all the detail up anyway, runs sweet as a nut on full detail 1280 x 1024 on my 9700 pro xp2700+). It really is a very well polished game.
Many people commented on the story sequences last time, some liked them others didn't. I kinda liked them, and they are back in full force this time. It all adds to the gameplay though, and when you get into the action you really see what the game engine can do.
With bullet time, everytime you hit someone it recharges and changes colour. With that you get faster, and if you reload when in that state you pull of some special moves to reload faster. Looks very nice.
i finished it in 2 days :angry:, loved it sad i finished it so soon tho. didnt play it that much.
It is short, but I'd rather have 6-10 hours of pure silk than 30-40 hours of itchy scratchy cotton.
The game is very very nice, well polished, a great story and due to the havoc physics, it has loads of replay value.
Im with u on this one gandy...... Im having great fun on it....many of the levels i have done a couple of times just for the chance to do it with a different gun :D

Thats a gay name......;)
Just seen this here (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/29321) (NB the hidden map ;) )
DEMO RELEASED
Finally something to entertain you today, here is the Max Payne 2 demo. The 245mb download offers the first 2.5 levels of the game (the Hospital, Warehouse and 1/2 of Vodka), and upon completion of those levels the Dead Man Walking map Manor becomes available.
that extra level on the demo is well hard! I challenge anyone to beat 2m35 secs! :D
Not for the kiddies
Great game, but did you know......
add -developerkeys -screenshot to the end of the command line. For example
"c:Program Files\Rockstar Games\
Max Payne 2\MaxPayne2.exe" -developerkeys -screenshot
and when the game starts hit the page up or page down keys several times. Max changes into other characters in the game. Keep pressing until you get to one specific skin :dribble:
Hit f3 and use the arrow keys to move around. Feel completely sad.
How do they find that stuff out. smilodon, got to much "time" on your hands? :ph34r:
Of course you have to play it 2 or 3 times to get to the different ending ;)
