Max Payne 2

I'm a bit late, but I just got Max Payne 2 and actually played it all the way through to the end. Most games these days I get tired of and don't finish, but I hung through on this one just to see if Mona made it or not. Granted, the gameplay wasn't wonderful and the storyline wasn't fantastic (though better than most these days), it was still enough to keep me up until 2 am tonight playing it until I was done.

Just thought I'd share. Anyone else finished it? Like it, love it?

Very funny, I just finished Max Payne as well today. It was good, but I prefered the first one. I like the whole film noir type style, can not compare it to Doom 3.

Both games are good. I prefer the second one because of the improvements (like being able to throw grenades without switching weapons).

I liked it too. Trying to kill that peckerwood running around at the end was tough though.

The tough part for me was figuring out how to kill him. I assumed you had to bring him down to you, but it took me awhile to figure out you had to shoot out those blocks.

Great game. Ironically I too just finished it a couple weeks ago. I couldn't play it when it came out, but just remembered it now that I have a capable system.

(64MB of graphics memory was waaay out of reach for me and my Riva TNT2)
