Max emerges out from the wreckage and enters the morgue and finds the body of Detective Winterson. The scene then cuts back to Woden's Manor where the police are still waiting for their back-up as Max and Mona are still in the manor.The story kicks off in the early hours of the night. Max is patrolling the city until he gets a shots-fired call at a warehouse belonging to Vladimir Lem. Max drives to the warehouse and more shots are fired and a woman is screaming for help as he gets out of the car. Max radios for back-up and moves in. Max is at a locked door until a man in a "Squeaky Cleaning" outfit arrives.Claiming that he has no idea whats going, Max takes the man and follows him upstairs to where the shots were fired. Seeking a trap is about to take place, Max the kills the man and two more men in cleaning outfits come out and shoot at Max. Max is fighting off cleaners as he makes it upstairs to the gunshop, Max hears a message on the answering machine for the girl, Annie Finn by Vladimir. Max hears commotion in the room next door and sees Annie is about to be executed by two cleaners. Max tries to save her but they end up killing her. Max takes out the hitmen and heads for an elevator where three cleaners are waiting for it to arrive. When the doors open, Mona draws her Desert Eagle out and shoots each man in the head. Max sees Mona and the doors close taking Mona back downstairs. Max waits for the elevator to come back up and takes it down. The cleaners are trying to make a run for it in their van. As the van tries to get away, Max shoots at it as the van drives towards him. Detective Winterson shows up and pulls Max away from being hit.Back at the station, Max, Bravura and Winterson are discussing the case and its potential ties and a name given by one the cleaners "Kaufman". Bravura lets Max take the case, and gives Winterson a case involving the murder of Senator Sebastian Gate. Bravura points out there was an eye-witness during the murder, and hands Max and Winterson a sketch of the suspect. The suspect appears to be Mona, Max hesitates telling them he had saw Mona at the warehouse. At his desk, Max searches for the squeaky cleaning company and the name "Kaufman" but nothing comes up.Max figures his only lead now is Vlad. He drives to Vlad's new restaurant "Vodka", which has taken over Jack Lupino's "Ragna Rock".
With the drive to an old venue, and the fact of seeing Mona again. Max feels elation and a sense of schizophrania. Max gets to the restaurant and opens the door but it's locked. Shots ring out and Vlad is yelling to Max for help. Max runs to the back entrance of the restaurant and takes on a couple of mobsters. Max reaches the stairs to the second floor and sees two mobsters being shot at by Mike the Cowboy, Vlad's right-hand man. Max meets up with him and together, they raid the restaurant killing the mobsters until they reach the storage area in the back. Max hears Vlad shooting at Vinnie Gognitti and Vinnie instructs his crew to take out Max, Max and Mike fight off the mobsters and reach Vlad as Vinnie escapes. Max learns the Vinnie is now a criminal mastermind and has made a deal with someone powerful.Max is at his apartment smoking a cigarette ready to fall asleep as his t.v is playing "Address Unknown." Max dreams as the commentary from the show sync up with his dream involving Mona. After the dream ends, Max wakes up to a knock at his door. He goes to open it with his beretta in his hand and sees that it's Mona. Mona comes to warn Max that both he and her are in danger and that there's a contract out on them. Max threatens to take her in for the murder of Senator Gate. While looking out the window, Max sees a sniper aiming at him and opens fire missing Max. Mona takes off and escapes the apartment. Max goes to try to catch her but is side-tracked when the cleaners try to kill him. Max moves through the halls of the apartment and goes through fire escapes until he reaches the sniper's room. Inside Max finds photographs of his apartment and tape recordings of his phone calls. Max looks through a video camera and sees two cleaners planting a bomb in his apartment wired to his door. When another cleaner opens the door, the bomb detonates and sets Max's apartment to flames. Max leaves the snipers room, fighting off the rest of the cleaners. A drunk and a prostitute team up with him in the fight as he escapes the apartment and goes to look for Mona.Max tracks Mona to an abandoned funhouse based on "Address Unknown". Max goes through the funhouse until he reaches the top floor where Mona lives. Mona is taking a shower as Max enters the bathroom. She tells him that the inner circle is involved with the contracts put out on them. Mona reveals that the Inner Circle is targeting people who know of their existence. After Mona gets dressed, they head out to an office complex where she has an informant named Corkran waiting for her.As they drive to the office, Max notices a Squeaky Cleaning company van outside the building. Max and Mona go to the main entrance of the building and find that guards have been killed. Mona goes to the reception desk and looks at camera footage of the building showing locked doors, and the cleaners patrolling the halls. She offers to go up and look for Corkran but Max takes the position. Mona gives him a headset as she watches the cameras guiding Max through the building. With the help of Mona's directions, Max finds Corkran's office and finds him dead. Mona comes through and says that they have to escape. Before leaving the room, Max finds a picture with Corkran, Senator Gate, and Alfred Woden. Max leaves the office but "Kaufman" and his men get off an elevator looking for Max. Max takes them on and kills them all. Max takes the elevator back down the first floor but the police are their waiting for him as Mona is in custody.Back at the station, Max is in Bravura's office as the two get into a heated argument about the case. Max is releaved off the case is put to active desk duty. Max tries to show a connection between his case and Winterson's case, along with the involvement of The Inner Circle and Vinnie Gognitti. Winterson's phone begins to ring and Max answers but the caller hangs up. Max goes to find Winterson whose in the interrogation room with a witness from the warehouse shooting who fingers Mona out of three potential suspects as the killer. Winterson leaves to go talk on the phone, and Max interrogates the witness to get secondary information. When Max returns to his desk, he accuses WInterson of leaking information to someone regaurding him and Mona. All of the sudden the respect for Max is lost by Winterson. Max heads for the lock-up downstairs to talk to Mona. When he reaches her cell, Mona warns Max that any of the cops in the building could be on the Inner Circle's payroll. To confirm that information, Max calls Alfred Woden but gets his voice-mail. As Max hangs up, a bomb explodes in the lock-up and a group of Cleaners storm in looking for Mona. Looking through a survelience camera, Max sees Mona making her escape from her cell and leaves the station. Max fights off the cleaners and goes after Mona. When he gets outside, Vlad drives by and picks up Max. Max notices a "Captain Baseball Batboy" costume in the backseat of Vlad's car. Vlad insists that it's his ace-in-the-hole for the war Vinnie Gognitti has unleashed. Max tells him to drop him off at Coney Island where Mona's funhouse is. During the drive, Vlad makes a comment about Mona that drops the trust and respect Max had for him.Vlad drops Max off at the funhouse and Mona appears from the shadows. Entering the funhouse, Max grabs Mona and the two begin to make love. A bomb goes off somewhere in the funhouse and they hear the cleaners entering through the backdrops of the funhouse. Max and Mona make a run for it to her hide-out but the two get separated when Max falls through a dissembled catwalk, leaving him to fight off the Cleaners and make his way to meet with Mona. After successfully reaching Mona, Max and her go to a construction company where the cleaners are hiding.At the construction site, Max looks for evidence of the cleaners and hope to get leads between them and The Inner Circle. Together, Max and Mona cover each other as Mona takes postition as a sniper and helps Max against the cleaners trying to gun him down. Max and Mona agree to leave the site and Mona must meet up with him on the other side of the construction site resulting more fights against the cleaners. When Mona finally reaches where Max is waiting, Detective Winterson shows up and gets ready to take in Mona. Max tries to reason with Winterson into letting Mona go, but when negotiations fail, Mona pulls out her gun ready to kill Winterson. Winterson takes aim at Mona but a gunshot goes off before Mona can get her gun out. Winterson falls to the ground with a gunshot wound to the chest as Max looks down the barrell of his gun. Two cops hear the gunfire and make their way towards the shooting as Mona looks at Max with a surprised look. With the officers approaching, Max tells Mona to run away and Max looks at her when she does. Winterson regains a short few seconds of consisousness and grabs her gun and fire two shots at Max. Max is hit twice in the back and stumbles off the platform and falls six stories to the ground below. Winterson dies as the cops see Max go over the edge.Max is taken to the hospital and has another dream of Mona. After the dream, Max and Mona are still head up in Woden's Manor as the police make final preparations to storm the manor.Max finds himself in the morgue looking over the body of Detective Winterson, when a commando is waiting behind the locked door for Max to open it. Unarmed, Max kicks the door open and knocks the commando to the ground and Max makes a run for it upstairs. In the security office, Max arms himself with a handgun belonging to a dead security guard and Max takes on the commandos as he escapes the hospital. Max leaves the hospital with no sign of Mona, and finally gets into contact with Alfred Woden, who informs Max the truth and the real person behind the conspiracy and ordered the contracts of him and Mona: Vladimir Lem. Max uses this information against Vlad and heads to "Vodka" to look for him.Max arrives at Vodka weapons loaded ready to take on Vlad but walks into the middle of a fight between Vlad's crew and Gognitti's crew. During the fight, Max finds Mike the Cowboy and the two get into a gunfight leaving Mike dead. Vlad is no where to be found in the restaurant and Max heads down the street where more mobsters are fighting each other off. While walking through a pawn shop, Max encounters three of Gognitti's gangsters who one of them believes Max is reinforcements. Max joins the gangsters and fights off Vlad's crew until the gangsters end up dead.In a humerous but ridiculous moment, Max encounters Vinnie dressed up in the Captain Baseball Batboy costume rigged with a bomb that will detonate if Vinnie is killed or if he takes off the costume. Vinnie tells Max that it was a trap set up by Vlad and begs Max to help him in exchange for where Vlad is hiding. Three commandos approach the warehouse where Max and Vlad are. Max takes them out and the two head for the upper level of the warehouse. Matters are complicated and hardened when Vinny can't fit through one of the doors leaving Max and Vinny to go through an open lot where heavy fire is brought upon them. Max takes them all out and they head up to Vinny's place where Max seeks a collection of Captain Baseball Batboy memorbilia in his apartment. They take Vinny's car and head off to Mona's funhouse where she can defuse the bomb.Max and Vinny arrive inside the funhouse. Outside, Mona has a sniper rifle set on Vlad in his car with a detonator in his hand.Before she pulls the trigger, he pushes the button and the bomb goes off killing Vinny, and leaving Max hidden somewhere in the torched funhouse dead or alive. Mona enters the building to try to look for him. She finds the remains of Vinny's costume torched and scattered on the floor. Max is found unconsious but Mona finds him and wakes him up. Max and Mona split up to find Vlad but Max's search for him ends in Mona's hideout where Vlad and his crew have Max at gunpoint. Vlad reveals the truth behind the whole thing to Max and reveals a connection to the past that had his wife killed that has him involved in this. Vlad breaks the ties between him and Max when he shoots Max in the face and Max goes down.Max unconsious again has another dream as Mona tries to revive him. Mona offers Max to walk out since it's not his fight. Max disagrees and he wants to finish off Vlad once and for all. Max reveals that Vlad is heading for Alfred Woden's manor to finish him off. Max and Mona head out.Arriving at the Manor, Max enters through the ground level as Mona takes sniper position and covers Max. The two get separated in the manor as each of them fight off Vlad's commandos. Max finds Vlad with Woden who is about to kill him. Max interferes and now guns are drawn on each as Woden watches helpless. Mona appears and tries to kill Vlad but Vlad shoots Mona wounding her severly as Max is knocked to the floor. Max looks at Mona as she's bleeding profusely. Vlad then shoots and kills Woden and Max gets up and struggles with Vlad for his gun. Max is shot again and Vlad takes off. Max goes after him as he fights off the rest of Vlad's commandos. The battle now being mono-a-mono, the chase ends in Woden's high Obeservatory as Vlad is standing on a high platform above Max lobbing bombs at him. Max tries shooting at him but can only wound him. Max takes it to the extreme and notices the platform is held up by strong cables hanging off the sky light. Max manages to shoot the cables sending the platform and Vlad to fall back down to the manor hall on the first floor. Vlad, wounded severly and close to dying, tries getting back up claiming he was supposed to be the hero but ends up falling back down and dies.The cops arrive outside the manor and Max, makes his way back down to where Mona is dying. Max gets to her and she claims to be the "damsel in distress" and dies in front of Max. Max kisses her one last time as the cops storm in and find Max barely alive.

Review: I love this game.First, I want to say this, My Geforce 3 Ti200 and Pentium 4 2.8Ghz runs this game at "max" settings and it runs very smoothly, game looks better than Half-Life 2 or Doom 3 and doesn't need a killer video card, just shows you how much.Second, the game story is good, Max Payne has a very deep perspective about life general facts like dreams, the past, love, crime and more, I like hearing what he has to say about those things, it is almost like poetry.The games music is good, it can really touch you and get you into the mood of the story.The game action is great, a lot of fun with bullet time and high realistic games, I love the fact that you see him drop the magazine of the gun, it is probably the only game right now that really drops the magazine on the floor.Great quality game, will be a classic and set the bar for future games..
Some people have complained that it is too short (I personally beat it in perhaps five or six hours), but this only enriches the experience because it moves along at a rapid pace and manages to come across more as a movie than a video game.They used real actors for the game and the cut scenes are more realistic than in the first game (which looked more like a comic).
One thing that took a while to get used to were all the differences in the characters, as well as Max Payne's new physical features in this game (noticeably, his face).
He also looks a lot more like the typical cop character from a police movie, which I think works to the game's advantage.The first game followed Payne after his wife and child were murdered -- another aspect I preferred in the first since Max's revenge motives were more hard-boiled and raw.
In the sequel, he's basically got a price over his head because he knows about a secret organization that is splitting in two over a mob war -- and he teams up with a femme fatale from the previous story (whom he thought was dead) to take them on.What's so great about "Max Payne 2" is how involving and engaging it is while still managing to be perhaps the smartest and deepest video game ever made.
The characters all seem real, the action is never really THAT far-fetched (at least not in comparison to the original) and, believe it or not, the love story between Max and Mona Sax is entirely convincing.The finale, just like in the original, is breathtaking and climactic.Is "Max Payne 2" better than the original?
The first "Payne" did also seem slightly more gritty, but it lacked a lot of the depth that is present in the sequel.I'm big on revenge themes so the concept of the first game appealed to me more -- Max isn't really avenging anyone in this game until the last few minutes, which is a bit disappointing.
However, these are things necessary for the development of the game, story and character himself.Gamewise, I preferred the first game's weapons and they didn't sound as fake as the ones in "MP2" (which pop rather unrealistically when you fire them).On the other hand, I prefer the bullet-time in "Max Payne 2" FAR more than in the original -- it looks awesome in this one.
You can also do cooler spins and slow-motion moves while you're in bullet time as compared to the first game.I have to be perfectly honest when I say I also didn't like being forced to play as Mona Sax on two levels, nor did I find the levels themselves as fun or intricate as the first game.
The first few levels of "Max Payne" (the original) when you're in those drug-infested apartment buildings doesn't compare to any level in the new game.
I found, despite the sequel's excessive language and sexual content, that the original was darker and more intense.Nevertheless, despite a few little "quibbles," this is -- overall -- probably a superior game to the first "Max Payne." It's the most theatrical game experience I've ever had -- and they even have end credits with a music theme that play afterwards!
The cooperation levels actually feel like your AI partner is out there watching your back (and vice versa when its your turn to provide a key game character some protection).
The saga continues.Even you're a hard person to find things good in later comers,you'll find all the things you loved in first one.Dark atmosphere,action with 'bullet-time' quality,high-level graphics...And in this one our guy is not alone;if you're looking for a femme-fatale keeping secrets,mysteries,it's Mona Sax what you need.A story with lies,deceptions.A man trying to find the ground from his eternal fall.That's what we call Max Payne genre.
The newest thing about the game is the change in the face of Max Payne.Deadsure this new look is better.The new holds all the sorrow,and fatigue which the years gifted to him.And besides Max Payne,Mona Sax's join gives game a new level.We can into the thoughts of her by the dialogs,the oil-printed screens between chapters.And in some chapters we are playing Mona Sax character besides Max Payne.That's another reason that when everything comes up to a conclusion in the end,we feel the loss,the pain in our hearts better.We exactly live the feelings these two characters live.
There are two things I'd like to tell.First one;this one is not just a game to continue the series.It is connected with the first game both in story and character side.And it feels like it will go on.The second thing is the song playing in the end:Late Goodbye by Poets Of The Fall.Only the ones who play this game can understand how it makes you feel.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is the best video game I have ever played in recent years.
This "film noir love story" is a better improvement over the original, and the characters, the plot, and the setting are better this time around.Max Payne no longer has that "constipated grin" on his face, but a face that is filled is with all the loss and anger that he once suffered in the past.
A sniper hits Max's apartment, and Mona escapes, with Payne setting out to find the person who wants him dead.We are also introduced to several characters from the original, including Lt. Jim Bravura, Max's boss at the NYPD, and Alfred Woden, a dying senator and a member of the Inner Circle.
The mob war subplot may sound unnecessary, but it's crucial to what happens in the story.I liked the original Max Payne (2001), which was released in 2001, and I thought it was the benchmark of action-packed video games.
Like Max Payne, the characters are able to express their feelings and thoughts to each other, and there is a big surprise as Max finds out who's after him.Max Payne series creator Sam Lakes keeps the player involved with his characters We're not just playing a typical action game where we shoot mindless bad guys, but we're learning about the characters as well.
They also do some convincing movements, such as ragdoll-like movements, which allow the enemy's body to move around like a limp corpse.Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is a great video game, but it shares the same flaws the original once had.
And the firing sounds for the weapons in the game sound unrealistic and could have been better.I also think the game is also a bit too short, whereas the original was like playing a TV marathon.
She is endowed with a high poly count and blessed with some very smooth motion-captured animations.The beauty of the unfolding storyline of Max Payne 2 is that the player is never really sure if Mona feels the same way Max does, or if she's luring him into a trap--unless some heartless game reviewer ruins it for you.
The continuation to Max Payne is similar in gameplay to its predecessor except for the newly added Bullet-time reload which actually very effective in instances, but that's O.K. because the gameplay was good to begin with.
secondly, the story proves that Max Payne is easily one of the most ruthlessly mature video games out today.9.5/10.
In the game you will play Max Payne for most of the time, but sometimes you will need to take control of a female character named Mona Sax. The brilliant bullet-time mode is also improved in this game, and Max Payne has a new set of stylish movements that he is only able to perform in bullet-time mode.
Playing this game is like having the lead-role in one of John Woo`s movies, as you take on hundreds of mobsters using a great variety of weapons.
Rated M for Strong Violence,Blood,Language and Sexual Content.Max Payne 2 The Fall Of Max Payne is the 2003 sequel to the 2001 hit game Max Payne.In my opinion Max Payne 2 is just as good as the first.I actually played this game before the original.There isn't much of an improvement in the sequel.The graphics are a tiny bit better but other than that its the same as the first.But the first one was good and so was this one.Don't be fooled by the romantic looking cover just like the first Max Payne this one has plenty of blood and violence(and the ability to kill in slow motion) but unlike the first one this one contains more profanity including some f-words.The PC version of the game is amazing.The PS2 version on the other hand is not that amazing.When I got a PS2,I got Max Payne 2.I remembered it being awesome on the PC.The PS2 version is not a very good port.The graphics are worse and the bullettime is for some reason in black and white.However, if you never played the PC version, you will like the PS2 version.I heard Max Payne 1 is good on the PS2 and I will get that one as well.Max Payne 2 is an excellent sequel despite little improvement over the first one.I recommend both!
As far as complains go, the physics are a bit cartoonish sometimes, the way it affects the enemies, you can pretty much make them fly in the air with a machine gun which is kinda silly but again, is a very minor complain that doesn't damage the overall quality of the game, because Max Payne is as good as sequels can get.
This was a strong follow up to the original game and by this time, Max Payne was solidified as one of the best franchises in gaming..
Slow moments in Max Payne 2 are rare and the game is fun from beginning to end.Graphics show off the best of the graphical ability of the time and never seem to pull you out of the game.
It's outstanding story telling, sound effects, music and comic-like cut scenes provide a phenomenal atmosphere, which lasts throughout the game.The plot is very well written and executed, the sound effects fit perfectly every action, voice acting and music is perfect.
Finally, beating this doesn't only unlock the next difficulty setting(there are three, that should help ensuring that anyone, regardless of expertise at these will be challenged as well as enjoy it) and the New York Minute mode(in a word: run), but now also the Dead Man Walking one, where you can choose one of five locations where you have to try to stay alive for as long as you can, through the shootouts with spawning enemies, and it'll list your best time for each, and you get a mission selector, as well.
"Max Payne" was, in the limited realm of video game art, probably one of the best works ever to be released; so, why a sequel?
But it's like looking down into the grave of your love, or kissing the mouth of a gun, a bullet trembling in its dark nest, ready to blow your head off.""Max Payne 2" might seem like an attempt to cash in from the original's success: it took less than two years to design, graphically it's very similar, it starts with exactly the same tone and plot devices as its predecessor, the plot opens holes in the first one's narrative, that quite frankly, just weren't there and a certain character is mysteriously revived during the first screens of the game.
Voices on the other hand, still sound the same, which is good, because they were already well acted in the first game.The subtle change of actors seems essential in the grand scheme of things behind "Max Payne 2", as the plot tries to go even deeper in terms of exploring its characters' beliefs, motivations and above all, their feelings.
That's how good "Max Payne 2" story is.Though the actual game-play is more or less the same as in the first game, it was subtly improved, with a small number of details that empower the already brilliant shooting mechanics.
Levels are better designed this time around, and resonate with character's feelings and states of mind, making them not only important in terms of game-play, but also in terms of setting up the ambiance of the story.
In strict terms of game-play, besides upholding the standard of the first game's pacing, the designers use pre-scripted events and scenarios that change the flow of the game: like a level in which you play with someone else other than Max Payne that has to protect him, or a boss fight in where you actually have to think on how to kill your adversary.
These small additions might seem irrelevant, but they make "Max Payne 2" remain as interesting in terms of game-play as its predecessor.As expected not everything is perfect.
"Max Payne 2" is the coming of age of a concept, the culmination of its authors' artistry in story-telling, game and audiovisual design.
I think nothing like Max Payne hadever been made before, which is why the original game took so manypeople by storm.
This new sequel, "The Fall of Max Payne" is almostidentical to its predecessor, even to go as far as having some levels inthe original game revisited here.
Also, it seems the creators tried toup the graphics, but I think the less-than-perfect graphics of MaxPayne, like his always the same look face, and the hands going throughthe gun occasionally, define what Max Payne is.
its the first game i actually loved the "love" in the game is beautiful can't wait for the movie to come out this year 17th Oct (which is my birthday) i love it how it ends with the quote "i had a dream my wife was dead but it was alright" which make...oh never mind its one of the best game ever made I was hoping for another but Alan Wake is almost out go remedy!!!Good music theme used which includes a guy from Apocalyptica.oh i hope the movies going to be great cause lately lots of games get stuffed up by the movies hit-man was alright but silent hill was just shocking...
I love video games which I have to follow a story during playing it just like a movie.Biohazard and Max Payne are the best of the kind but something special about Max Payne is that its a lot easier to play than Biohazard but not as easy and silly as some other video games like Sims.
I haven't even played through the first Max Payne, and I already love the second one better.I bought this game a few days ago in a game store for $1.50.
Unlike some sequels like Dead to Rights 2, it was a horrible game, Max Payne 2 rocks with lots of action, drama, mystery, and suspense just like the first one.
In this sequel you play as New York cop Max Payne, a man who is traumatized by the death of his wife and baby in the first one.
He finds a girl that he thought was dead, Mona Sax and they team up to kill Vladimer Lem. The game has lots of memorable characters such as Vinnie Gognitti, hes my favorite.This game is full of cool weapons such as the M4, Pump Action Shotgun, Stryker and Desert Eagle.In this one however, Max Payne is a little older than he was in the first one and is a little more traumatized.Another thing that is back from the first and makes this game really awesome is the "Bullet Time" now there is the regular shoot-dodge, and a new addition "Bullet Time 2.0" its really cool its where Max is a bit faster than the opponents.
The action is here, better graphics, more guns, and makes Max Payne one of the best game characters of all time.
Sure the graphics are good and the bullet time is also better than in the first game, but why does it have too be so short?
"The Fall of Max Payne" is awesome and completely lives up to the original.
I think Max Payne 2 is awesome and just as great as the original!
The story furthers the game play, and makes you want to make max survive every single gun fight to make it through to the end.On to the plot, which may be one of the best in any video game.
This game is hands down the best 3rd person shooter anywhere, along with its bullet time sequence and dream style with a great story that keeps you guessing Max Payne 2 is not a game any true gamer will want to miss..
Secondly, the game makers have made Max look a lot more like he had been through what he had been through.
The max Payne game has an another sequel which is slightly less accurate then the first one.
but, there also good things in the game like the improved bullet-time.
