    Max Payne 2 Xbox Impressions????????????

    Who's got it? How is it? Framerate? Please post if you have any info and I will do the same.
    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.

    I played it for the PC. It was a blast, but don't spend $50 on it, it's not worth half that. I beat the game in a little over a day, and I uninstalled it yesterday. It feels like a MP mod. Not a true sequel in my eyes.

          Started playing it yesterday and so far so good. No issues with the framerate I have seen and it looks graphically improved from the first game. I am sure the graphics cant touch those of a high end PC but they look fine to me and most of the envoiorment can be knocked around. I like the fact the slowdown mode (for Max) now does not count against the hourglass. Only problem I hear is the game is short which is fine by me as I want to beat it to use as store credit for Deus Ex next week.

                Have you heard anything about Deus Ex's framerate problems? I read that they were having framerate and AI issues. I hope this game comes out alright. Been waitin' 3 years for this sequel.

                      Problems have been on the PC demo and the main complaint from PC owners is that the game looks like the PC version was ported from the Xbox instead of vise versa. I did not DL the demo so have yet to see it but Warren Spector from Ion Storm has responded to these issues.

                            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.
