Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

"Max payne rulezzz!!!"

I didn't play max payne before so I do not know a lot so pardon me if I make a mistake some where. Well, I went to get the game when I heard about this game release and I went to read some information about this game and heard about the cool bullet time and all and went to get it. And I was shocked about how great is it.

Gameplay 9.5/10
The gameplay is really good. REALLY GOOD. The bullet time is very cool and the shoot dodging is not bad as well. It feels very good while you are in bullet time when watching how slow your enemies are and while you can aim fast. I never grew tired of this. Although it's great, it's a little short though so I have to give it a 9.5.

Graphics 8.5/10
The graphics is great it looks quite real and you can actually see the bullet flying past you in bullet time or shoot dodging!

Replay value 10/10
The replay value is great as you can always replay for higher difficulties levels and you can always do the bullet time again while replaying.

Sound 9/10
The sound is jut great. In bullet time you can actually hear the bullets clearly which is so cool. Also, you can actually hear the Max's heart pounding away but I have forgetten where you can hear it...hmm....

Overally 9/10
This game is great. Trust me but I think that the loading is just a little too long. When I keep dying in one place, I get a bit fed up by the long loading. However it really did well in other areas I hope there might be a bigger variety of weapons although there's really quite a lot. I hope they might include melee weapons like baseball bats, swords etc. not just using the gun to knock people on their head.

Rent or buy
You may want to rent first before you buy as the gameplay is just a little too short. If you are the kind which after you beat the game you just throw it aside, rent it. If you are the kind where you keeep replaying for unlocks and higher difficulties levels, buy it. But even though you are the kind where you just don't it after you complete you might just play it again to use the bullet time i don't think anyone will just grow tired of such a cool thing.
