The story is classic hard-boiled fiction.
MAX PAYNE 2 THE FALL OF MAX PAYNE AMAZON HOW TO
It's so well handled, carefully paced and so artfully imagined, that Max Payne 2, which is one of the few games to merge these two seemingly close mediums, has become the near flawless embodiment of how to fuse the two the right way. Remedy's hard-boiled shooter brandishes a comic-book cell style of storytelling combined with a deadpan monologue by lead character Max Payne (reminiscent of film noir movies and books of the late '40s and '50s) that sets a distinct tone for the entirety of the game.
Presentation The second in the series, Remedy's Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne brings gamers one of the best told stories in straight action form on any system. Now, if you only own a PlayStation 2 and you love action games (and you dig action games with great stories) get this game or rent it, but be warned, it's inferior to its cousins in every way. Comparing them side by side will hurt your eyes, drop your jaw in disbelief, and make you genuinely wonder what the hell happened. If you own all three systems, just skip the PS2 version.
It's a stylish noir story told with an enviable amount of style and panache - and it absolutely teems with intense blasting action. If you own a PC or Xbox, get Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne and have a blast. I'll get into the details soon enough, but let me put it straight to you. After having seen and played the generally excellent PC version, and the near duplicate Xbox version, the PS2 version - while exactly the same in content - suffers from being a tough-to-recommend port. But like I said, I'm writing about the PS2 version, and I'm torn.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the Max Payne series is one of my favorite action games on the PC or Xbox, and that's saying a lot.
