Sure his new model is easier to take seriously and is a better match for Max's voice, but that's kind of the problem, as he's become as dour and expressionless as his narration. He also made me do a whole lot of running around dodging explosions and falling ceilings after rigging a building I had reason to visit.īy the way, Max seems to have gotten himself a new face since then, and I'm not sure it's a change for the better. Vladimir Lem is an old associate of Max, a Russian mob leader who helped him out a little during his revenge rampage three years back. Which of course you already know if you looked at the screenshot. He reveals that after the events of the first game he went back to the NYPD to work homicide, but when gunshot were reported at a warehouse belonging to Vladimir Lem he had to investigate. Narrator Max suddenly decides that the hospital was a shitty place to start the story and jumps back to the night before instead. (Click the pictures to inflate them to 1280x1024 resolution if you want a closer look at anything.) It's basically the song from the first game, except a bit slower, a bit sadder, and the piano has been replaced with violin. what about this theme tune huh? Pretty awesome and haunting right? Oh, here's a link so you can listen to it yourself while you read: youtube link.
Whether it stayed true to the tone of the franchise is debatable, but critics and players agreed that it was a hell of a lot better than the mid-budget Max Payne movie released four years earlier.īut I'm meant to be talking about Max Payne 2 right now, so. Critics and players loved the game but it didn't end up selling all that well and with Remedy Entertainment moving on to making Alan Wake the series lay dormant for almost a full decade after this before Rockstar Vancouver stepped in and gave it a big-budget blockbuster makeover with Max Payne 3. Max Payne 2 came out in 2003, two years after the original game, for PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2 (the GBA had to sit this one out I'm afraid). I'll be playing through Part One, mentioning anything that comes to mind as I go. Yeah sorry I totally cheated there (and I'd do it again without shame or hesitation).
