As long as well, if they do the 'Max is a bit dozed and dreams about his house' they do it without that maze that played like Little Big Adventure.
Make him walk on the walls and celing or something, that'd be more fun.

looked at the screenshots, they look delish, although max seems to have aged a lot from the first one. he looks a bit of an old codger, as opposed to his 'thuggish' looks which gave him such a distinct character.
shud be good though

me too, it didn't seem to receive much hype at all when it was released. I borrowed it off a friend, and loved it so much I bought my own.
It's one of the most polished and fun shooters ever, the comic book storyline is top notch, and the action is pretty much unbeatable.
when mp2 is released I will be clicking 'confirm order' I think.

Either way it's good. I played the original one through at least five times so even if Max Payne 2 is only longer by an hours worth, I'll probably still go back to it. I just want to experience more bullet time ridden carnage again since I wasn't overly impressed with that Matrix game.

Theres too many online only based shooters which is VERY annoying, i enjoy Half life like Single player games and not Battlefield 1942 with stupid bots but for once i want a MIX of them and don't tell me MOHAA was one of them because its too short!

The rag doll physics will be cool - smashing a door down then leaping in forwards in bullet time whilst blasting someone backwards against a wall/through a window (hopefully) - its gonna rawk!

Personally I cant stand online gaming, and I liked Payne because it's one of the best single player games out there.
It was about atmosphere, attitude and style. You couldn't have bullet time online, because everyone would be using it and you couldn't display the effects on someone else's computer if you used it.
They're not doing any sort of multiplayer componentry with Max Payne 2, and I'm happy with that.

Ooops what I was meant to say is shooting games on the pc.
It's not an first person shooter though.
The first was alright but a first person shooter really needs a good single player and good net gaming to make it last.
