The ending did a bit to me, when the helicopter falls off and crushes the lower building.

Oh give it a rest. You're nearly as bad as the Americans! The tragedy that happened on September 11th is bad, yea, but no point trying to censor it. What is your goal? To make everyone in the world forget the twin towers ever existed? What's the point in that? 'History that is forgotten is soon repeated'.
Did everyone try and cut Germany out of the European map when they started WWI? No. WWII? No. Why? Cos the country exists no matter what they did. And in the same way, the twin towers existed this time last year why why try and cover that up?
People like you are already trying to change the name of the next Lord of the Rings movie from 'The Two Towers' to something else, even though the name is based on the 50+ year old book. Give it a rest and let the world get on with its business, and stop trying to change world history because of one terrorism attack.
Exactly why one single terrorism attack in America is given so much priority is a mystery to me, as middle-eastern countries have to put up with it on a daily basis. Do they demand to change backgrounds in games? No. Do they want to change movie content? No. Do they ask for national holidays on September 11th? No. It's only cos the victim was the USA this time that this has been given so much momentum, but given their foreign 'I'm bigger than you so do what I say' policy, is it such a surprise what happened?

Sorry mate but I have to disagree, the X-Box version is by far the best version of the game. Load times are better than any other version, the only slow-down that occurs is Bullet-Time and the X-Box pad makes this by far the best version of the game. To take away the 'Twin Towers' would have required the game to be re-designed and it is perfect as it is, can't wait for Max Payne 2 and hopefully E3 will bring me some interesting news on this title and I hope they release the X-Box version at the same time as the PC version, this way the wait won't be as bad, bring on the PAYNE PART 2!
