MP2 Done... now what?

Finished Max Payne 2. What a great game. I'm playing it through again. Rag-doll physics never get old. But now that I'm through JA and now MP2... I am asking everyone out there if they know of any good action games that are long! None of this 5-10 hr game crap. I want something that will take me awhile to beat. (No RPG's plz... I don't want to spend my entire life playing lol 80+ hrs geez) .

Soldier of Fortune II - I am playing it right now, got it for $15 for XboX
If you want a REALLY violent disturbing game go get Manhunt!

I don't believe Manhunt is for PC. I would recommend Call of Duty. It is by far one of the best games I've played in a long while BUT it is very short. On the other hand though, It is very challenging and you'll prob want to go through it more than once.

You can also try Prince of Persia. This was a real fun game. Kinda blew me out of the water cause I didn't expect anything that good

Call Of Duty, I really like it, although it's not as long as you may expect, 10 hours or so.
Of course, there is MP, so you will play it much more than 10hours if you have broadband.

Doom II or Wolfenstein3d . I plan on playing them as soon as I finish Blake Stone Planet Strike.
I gotta tell you I am a little torn about finally finishing it, after all after 5 years it has become part of me.

I have gotten and have beaten CoD. It was a great singleplayer experience. Thanks for the suggestions though.
For some reason playing Wolf3D hurts my head, it's just like one big maze with repeating wall patterns.
I looked up Planet Strike and it was released (at least the demo was) in august 1994 and requires DOS to play! Are you using XP compatibility? If so, hows that working for ya? But man oh man 5 years for one game!
As far as D2 goes, it doesn't recognize my optical mouse correctly but D2 was a good game in it's day in age. Maybe I'll load it up here again and see how it runs. Thanks to all.

me too, I guess it has something to do with not being able to look up or down.
As for Doom, I play it every while, I don't have similar issues with it as I use jDoom, wich is a Doom mod that enables you to use the mouse.
