Title: Too much emphasis on emotions
Product review: Unlike the first game where Max Payne had at least a can do fighting attitude, in this sequel, he's always in conceding mode until the end of course and even then it ain't always so. Sure, the bullettime and graphics are souped up a bit but storywise and gameplay-wise, this game lacks much of both. It was annoying enough that in the first game Max had to walk through a couple of dark mazes but what's worse in this sequel is that in at least 3 or 4 levels of this game, Max walks through while talking to himself in a more groaning manner which is even more annoying. Also, too much emphasis is placed on Max's desperate love for Mona. Yes, there is supposed to be love noir crap in this sequel but how much emphasis can you really afford to put on emotions until you make the game all sappy !?!?! Too easy and too boring if you ever want to play it again. Get it for a few bucks at ebay for what it's worth !
