Max Payne 2 Reviewed

Posted by michael on from the slow-motion-review dept.

Some random reader writes "Max Payne 2, the sequel to the awesome original game released years ago, hit shelves three days ago. The first review I've seen thus far is at PCSynapse. It seems to be what fans want, give or take a few quirks. Overall conclusion - 'MP2 was not designed to be revolutionary - but more evolutionary, and in that apparent goal it has succeeded with flying colors.'" There's a selection of other reviews collated via GameTab.

    Because of our Protestant roots... Violence is okay, but nudity is not.

    They use the same physics engine (namely havok). So the physics are every bit as good as HL2, but they might be "used" in a different way (eg. the gravity gun in HL2).
