Max Payne 2 improves everything from the Original and ditches the mid-budget charme the first one had. It's more serious, more depressing and more intense. The story feels more focused but is unfortunately a bit too short... it even ends in an anticlimactic boss fight. But I still damn love this game and can't understand how this one sold less than the first game.

Remedy are a force to be reckoned with and this game feels like a "late goodbye" to the Max Payne Franchise in every way.
