    Re: Max Payne 2 Xbox Impressions????????????

    Well, I just got done completed the Max Payne 2 game on the xbox(bought it on Friday(about 8 hours of playing). And now I feel bitter. Not because the experience was not great, but because it was so short and It has almost no replay value to me.

    Im definately not trading it in for just 20 dollars. Very good game though, just too short, its almost like a $50 Dollar interactive movie.

      I just finished it last night. The game is short but it is a lot of fun. Lots of action and a great story. I was disappointed with Rockstar not instituting an ability to walk based on how hard you press on the analog stick (like splinter cell). This would have made navigating around the small evevated ledges and platforms a lot less frustrating. Thanks to those who responded. I will answer any questions people may have about the title.
      EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                        Just wondering, how many Parts are in the game? I've been playing it a little(i rented it) and it seems like a really good movie, I don't even care about the action parts, I just want to get to the next cut scene or comic part, which is good and bad I guess. Very deep and good story, but the gameplay honestly does feel like an afterthough(it's actually very good, so it's not like it's bad gameplay, it's just overshadowed by the game being a straight "run into new room and kill everyone, then repeat" type game, the story becomes more important than the fighting after a while). it seems like a perfect game to rent, you can go ahead and beat it and get the involving story and some cool action, I just don't see wanting to do it twice or pay $50 to see it.

                              The game is broken into 3 parts but there are many chapters within each part. Each chapter is preceeded and/or proceeded by those comic strip scenes you speak of. There are plenty of them. The game is pretty much one-dimensional(shoot first, don't bother asking questions later because they are dead) but it is fun.
                              EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death.
