Can't get excited about it to be honest. I like the first one, but I cannot seem to get excited about this next one for some reason....Bah Humbug... :)

Yea Im the same way, I really enjoyed the first and can't wait to play this one, but Im not overly excited about playing it, I dont feel like I have to rush out and buy it as soon as it is released.

At least it's something. Even if it's just more of the same it should be fun. I just hope it takes longer than 10 hours to beat like the first one.

I thought the first game was excellent. I loved the way the story was propelled and really enjoyed the John Woo style action. Second one doesn't have anything ground breaking with it. Re-vamped graphices and a completely different looking max payne... I too am not in the least excied about it, sadly.

It's based on Remedys own engine. Also used by Futuremark in the infamous 3dmark series.

But can you imagine the bullet time with the new graphics engine? Grrr.

Particle effects when a weapon fires and or a gernade explodes!

Max Payne 1 was cool and all...

But I have very little cash and try to avoid buying single-player only games as much as possible. These usually keep me occupied for one weekend, two at best maybe.
