Better than the first one,this one packs a punch !!

User Rating: 9.5 | Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne PC
So I finished this game VERY quickly,which tells you it was pretty easy.A also enjoyed this one pretty much.Let's start with the famous story.....
After the 1st game,Max is in horrible condition,but he still manages to get back to his feet,still haunted by his inner demons,and the thirst for revenge to find the killers who killed his much-loved family.He get's back to his job as a detective,and his first case is in a warehouse,where a few "cleaners" have hostages.After the deal,he figures the case is more complicated than it seems.Vladimir Lem(remember him ?)is rebuilding the Ragnarok cafe into a restaurant,and he is up against Vinnie Gognitti,who has a grudge against him,and also controls the cleaners.Things get dirty when Max doesn't get authority to inspect this case,and so decides to go undercover,personally,with Mona Sax beside him !
The cleaners will attack the police base,and after getting pulverized by Max,escapes,but with Max along with them in the back of their truck......
After plenty of revelations,he realizes it's actually Vlad who is behind all of this,and thus the ultimate task begins to go through all of Vlad's Hench-men and finally kill him in an epic boss fight.
Now,for the details :
The graphics and presentations are excellent ! The texture models,and the cut-scenes which are in the form of comic book panels with real pictures painted beautifully add emotion to the whole deal,and so does the sounds.Max's deep-throated husky voice with great sound effects immerses you in the game,which is also filled with hours of gun-fights ! You have more than plenty of weapons to chose from,each with different abilities.You'll play both as Max and Mona in the last part (Part III) where you'll see how much Rockstar worked on the characters.Not to mention,the physics engine is one hell of a catalyst to this game which will keep you busy for a number of hours,which will not go to waste !!
