It's a good sequel to Max Payne, nothing really too exciting tho!
To me Max Payne is more of a 1/2 Game and 1/2 Movie. As a game is not quite challenging specially because of save feature that can be access at anytime and it will save that exact stage so if you die you can just respawn from there. This mechanic combined with the abundant health packs and ammunition can make beating this game a breeze. But the story is quite compelling and even tho I could predict the general outcome it still was fun to go through.
It's easy to recommend MP and any of it's sequels to anybody, it's a fun story oriented heavy toned game with some unique and innovative gameplay mechanics. even if it's a short and quite easy ride, it's worth the time invested.
