Max Payne 2 on the PC was really good.
Pretty short, but really good.
Max Payne 2 upgrades the game mechanics considerably, so unless you are limited to PS2, go for the sequel.

I hated Max Pain 2 on the story board front.
The rag doll physics were a little to exagerrated also. But shotting people off of buidings was cool.
Max Pain 2 was superior gameplay wise, but max himself was nothing more than a spent shell of his former self.
His style, his look it just wasn't max payne.
He was much cooler as a leather jacket wearing, flannel shirt underneath, rockin constipated mad man!!!

Liked Max Payne 2 for the action and Max Payne 2 for the action and the visuals. Bring on the 3rd! The console versions are just poor tards.

I played it on a pretty good PC, so I could get the full advantage of the graphics with a great framerate. The Xbox version is not as hot, but hot enough. It's the controls for me...
And the PS2 version is the REAL tard.

Anyone else think that the dream sequences totally killed Max Payne 1?

MP1 was great, MP2 was even better. Dream sequences in MP2 were actually fun as opposed to the more tedious ones in MP1. One of the better action games I've ever played.
I got into the Max Payne games really late. I watched a friend of mine play the first one, and he was an absolute scrub, so I go the wrong impression. Last year when I was unemployed I got the first one, and fucking loved it. Soon as I finished it I literally went to EB and picked up the second one. While I can't sit down and play either one for more than an hour or two, I don't think that takes away from them.
i liked MP1 a lot, played it on the PC, teh dream sequences were downers but the action was fantastic, and bullet time was novel. it did seem quite repetative to me after a few hours though.
but from the look of this thread, sounds like MP2 is hot, might have to hunt down the xbox version.

Loved the first one (blood trail dream sequences aside), and utterly adored the sequel. Shame that the series hasn't done as well as it deserved - I really want to see a third.
The mission that involved protecting the guy in the Baseballbat Boy costume was hilarious.

MP2 is allot better then MP1. Not really any new gameplay changes, but its allot mor polished, tehd ream squences are actually pretty cool and fun, and the action is even better then before.

BT2.0 was basically designed to allow Max a speed and BT meter increase as he killed enemies (start slow, do well, speed starts to increase...), eventually bringing him up to normal speed while enemies remain in slow motion. I'm sure there are more nuances in there as well, but that's the gist of it.
It sounded so simple, but it totally changes the feel of the combat. Rather than simply shoot dodging your way around the levels, you can now charge into rooms and, if executed properly, you can drop everybody as if you just came out of Equilibrium or something. When you add in the physics, the gun battles actually become quite visceral. The shoot doge itself also received an improvement. Upon hitting the floor, you can continue to fire your weapons from your landing position. Max will not get up until you let off the triggers for a second and move.
It doesn't sound particularly impressive in writing, but in practice, the combat takes a massive leap forward in the fun department. The core game design + improved presentation make for a hugely improved sequel. I much prefer it to the original...

I really loved Max Payne 2. Probably one of the best third-person shooters around in my opinion.

Max Payne 2 is excellent in both action and story/writing. Short but sweet and always at the ready for a loud, explosive replay (just like the original).

I like the games quite a bit, but once they're over they're over.
