unless you're a cutscene designer I guess.Įventually Max discovers that Mona has been using the funhouse as her lair and barges right in on her in the shower.

Though on the plus side cutscenes have subtitles now and they're skippable, which is always, ALWAYS a good thing. In Max Payne 2 on the other hand this cutscene would be in-engine, mandatory, and Max would be too depressed to even think about picking up a dart.

Then in the third image I'm back in the level again afterwards, looking at the darts sticking out of the dartboard exactly where his comic book doppelgänger threw them.

The second image is a panel from these comic book pages showing that Max actually still had a sense of humour back then, as he takes a moment to throw a couple of darts at a photo of the note's author.

I choose to read it, bringing up a graphic novel scene where Max explains a bit about the mob-boss who wrote it, what the letter says and why I should care.

In the first image I've just walked over to a desk in game and Max mentions that there's a note on the table.

Three Max Payne screenshots I've cunningly assembled to look like graphic novel panels. They help flesh out the world a little, describing the place you're in and showing what Max is thinking. It's a bit of a shame really as Max Payne 1 uses the graphic novel scenes all through the level, appearing whenever you interact with certain objects. The graphic novel scenes have been reduced to bookends for each chapter. Scenes between characters like this were almost always presented with graphic novel cutscenes in the first game (as the 3D models weren't even able to open their mouths), but this game likes to do them in-engine instead when possible. This guy I've found claims to be an innocent cleaner, but everything about him is screaming 'I'm gonna shoot you in the back the second you turn around', so we'll see how that goes. This time around though he's mostly stuck to writing.

Incidentally both faces and lines were provided by writer Sam Lake for the first game, as he wrote the script and posed as a model for the character. In fact the faces he pulled were often as entertaining as the lines he'd come up with in his poetic film noir monologue.Īlso he's changed his shirt! Plain white is so dull. People mock Max's 3D model in the first game for wearing a near permanent constipated grimace, but in the graphic novel cutscenes he had no trouble showing emotion. 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).
