Max Payne 2 is a breathtakingly good game. The beauty of the engine is an embarrassment of riches glittering on our monitors. The writing deserves awards we haven't invented yet, given at swanky awards shows that aren't yet aired. It tells a tale as heart-searing as the one in the original. It is loyal in its design, courageous in the lines it crosses and decent in those it doesn't. It is ridiculous in its quality, and it shows a degree of respect for the feedback about the first Max Payne that we rarely see in sequels, because for most studios, sequels aren't about reexploring a world that gamers loved, they're about selling more games. |

| When a game is a hit, especially a surprise hit, it pranks goes without saying that a followup will be rushed onto store shelves as quickly as possible, usually full of half-baked ideas and clumsy design. Worse still, the gamers who loved the original race out to buy the sequel only to be disappointed, almost without fail. Then a sequel becomes a series, a pranks series pranks a franchise, until suddenly we're off to the store to buy Sword of Destruction 9 even though we didn't care for the last seven. Max Payne was years behind schedule when it was finally released in 2001, and a chorus of voices expected it to be little more than a sloppy and bug-ridden kludge from the largely untried developers at Remedy Entertainment in Finland. Instead, it was an enormous success and deserved the vast critical and audience acclaim that it got, so no one can be surprised that a sequel was inevitable. |
