Truly a remarkable experience to play a game that inspired a true master piece... Resident Evil. This game in no shape or form is forgiving and will punish you at all cost, but its a great to see how this game wonky controls worked. I used a guide this whole game because it is almost impossible to beat it without one in my opinion or you would probably have to spend hours trying to figure things out yourself. In one section of the game they tried to implement platforming which is god awful which is definitely not needed, but it is a little fun. Its just good to see how Capcom took this game and made it so much better and later on seeing how alone in the dark then resident evil again further down the line in the series.

This game Improved from the first game gameplay wise, but I believe graphics and story wise I like the first game better. Don't get me wrong though just because of because of the controls and game play alone I much rather play Max Payne 2, as the first game didn't have as much janky platforming and unfair one shot deaths. Overall I had a much better time playing Max Payne 2 as the game was a lot more fun.

Also the rag doll effects in this game was such an improvement. Nothing more satisfying then wrecking someone and seeing there body go flying. The weapon variety in the game also improved as there wasn't one weapon that I didn't mind using.

I wouldn't say its a bad game, but I also wouldn't call this a good game. The game definitely didn't age well with the gameplay being very repetitive and boring after a while. I felt as though I had to use a lot of gimmicks to get passed the enemys and a lot of times I would have to get lucky beating the bosses having to wait for them to position themselves in a spot where I can beat them easily. For example the boat boss at the bottom of the ship was ridiculously stupid having one small door to get into and wait for the enemy's to rush to me to kill the boss. The one cool thing was the bullet time which I never really got bored of, I just wish the weapon variety was more fun.

Also why would they try and add platforming to this game? It was just janky at times and not that fun to begin with (especially during the hallucinations)

The story was very basic, but still sort of caught my interest. I did find myself wanting to know what the story was going to lead into. I did like the graphic novel cutscenes and jokes.

Im gonna have to play max payne 2 and see if it even was worth tom play this series. So far Alan wake/Quantum break is a much better remedy game to play in my opinion.
