is it a 2 disc game? Sounds pretty short. Would have exepected more out of it.


i still haven't beat Max Payne (the first)... i got bored after a few hours of playing it.

Yep, it's only 8 hours or so(some people play faster than others, some slower), but it's the best damn 8 hours of gameplay out there. Remedy did exactly what they wanted, and they didn't try to put in filler as a result.
 
I finished MOHAA in about that time... I never liked Max Payne though, and probably will never try MP2... I like Splinter Cell a lot though 😀
 
I finished this game yesterday as well. Very disappointed by the shortness of it. The makers said it was twice as long but I think they were referring to those dreadful cutscenes. Half the time I felt like I was watching a cheesy movie instead of playing a videogame. It seemed about half as short as the original(if you don't count the cutscenes).

And unfortunately, like the first game, the replay value is next to nil. It was fun for a few hours though.
 
It took me 6 hours to complete it on the first difficulty level last afternoon, but I'll probably replay it quite a few times.
The story is very good, even though most characters are dead when it ends.
6 Hours........................ Way too short, but still above average quality. The physics are awesome, the Havok engine is probably the best at this time, Thief 3 will be interesting.

I've been looking for days, even their website isn't up
 
I'd say it's OK so far. I just got to chapter 3 or 4.... the Chapter right after you play as Mona. It's just OK. Defiintely not GREAT. I often feel as if I'm just watching a movie, and when it gets to the part of the movie where a badguy has a gun, I take over, shoot the place up, then the movie goes on. There's just too many scripted sequences, cenematics, and graphic novels.
 
Just beat it today. The level where you have to escort the guy with the Captain Baseballbat-boy costume is one of the funniest fvcking things I've ever seen in a game. I was laughing so hard when we got to his apartment that the first batch of bad guys nailed me because I couldn't aim straight.

I was LMAO when he couldn't fit through the doorway 😀

Heck, I'm pissed I didn't get to off Vinnie myself. After the chase in MP1, and then his whining, I really wanted to drive a bullet through his head.😀
