Nostalgia overloaded!

It's hard to say if I liked this game as much as the first. The gameplay is definitely better, with the new physics bringing a welcome insanity to the gameplay. However, I just don't think the story and level design is as memorable as the first. Additionally, I had some bugs that nearly stopped my game entirely from working. I think I'd return to Max Payne 2 over 1 more, but the first story is timeless, and trumps this one completely.
