Max Payne hits the streets of the Big Apple
Product Information
In 2001, Max Payne arrived to set the benchmark for action gaming, earning
countless awards and revolutionizing the genre with cinematic combat sequences
fuelled by the groundbreaking use of slow motion and compulsive narrative-driven
gameplay. Now, working together with Rockstar Games' New York-based production
team, Remedy has combined Max Payne's hallmark gameplay with all new innovations
and unmatched production values. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is set to
raise the bar for action games all over again.
Against all odds Max Payne is cleared from the charges after the first game,
with some help from Alfred Woden. Now he's once again hunted for murder, this
time he's guilty though, and yet again he loses a loved one. Mona is back, this
time as his love interest, again he faces the New York underground, full of scum
and murderous thugs, this time he looks even better though.

Award & Reviews
"Max Payne 2 has a very tight graphics engine, whose hi-res textures and
clever level design make every location feel like a real place -- or the set of
an action movie.. The action in Max Payne 2 is as adrenaline-pumping as anything
you'd see on the silver screen, and you're in control."

nearly the same level of greatness--though a number of games have tried... Max
Payne 2 is just a remarkable production."
