(series replay)
Just as good as I remember it. The story is much more focused and grounded than the first and the gameplay and level design is tighter and punchier. Noticeably easier than the first game, but the scenarios it throws you in are so much fun and makes you feel like you're playing out your favorite action movie.

it was cool but i personally liked the first one a lot more

The gameplay is much better than the first but the levels are not as fun as the first. The story is a little confusing too. Mildly enjoyed this one, excited to try 3 now!

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.

Love sucks.


Level design! Really good. Acting? Really good and although I believe there’s not really a good plot I really like they idea of Max being left alone in the world and it improved on the first on every way.

Game didn’t really click for me til the very end when it pulled a great twist. Makes the paper thin plot worth it.
