i agree with most of your opinions!!
max payne is an outstanding production. i have played the first part, though, but
have not completed it yet. a few months ago i purchased the second part from a
friend but felt like saving this one until i finished the previous one...
although the story of mp1 is not that extraordinary it combines many different
story modules which are known from hollywood movies: a cop seeking for revenge,
a strange drug getting its grasp on people, mafia-like gangs...
as i said, nothing too special in particular, but the overall atmosphere is quite dark,
most of all the strange nightmares max is having, when he follows a bloody path to
nowhere, while cries of his dead baby are echoing all around....
i should motivate myself to complete mp1 so that i can check out if the sequel is
really easier to play than its predecessor...
