Well, I can't tell very much about the game from a few blurry magazine scans, but if it's anything like the first game, maybe a bit longer this time around, looks like we have a winner. 🙂

Aw, I miss the old "I just sucked on the world's biggest lemon" face of the original Max. 🙁

If you look in the instruction manual and compare the faces you'll notice the fellow who was Max in the still-image portions of the game was the guy who wrote the Max Payne story. (Or the creator. I can't look at the manual because it's not here with me) I always thought that was one of the cooler parts of the game, the fact that the guy who's brainchild it was actually got to be the hero he created.

Warning....popup hell. Shields up!

Geez, they hit you coming and going - 3 popups just on entering, and 3 more, plus an attempt to install PrecisionTime, on exiting.
 
This goes down as the worst thread I ever logged onto. I was an idiot and did not read the remaining posts before I clicked on the link. Pop-up's galore, and it crashed IE. Thanks mattg!
 
ummm .. maybe its time for a new system then, cause nobody else was complaining about crashes ... sure there are a few pop ups .. but why is there so much commotion over 3 pop ups? If they are that bad .. get a pop up blocker then ... google has a really good one.
 
Nice! Yet another PC game to look forward to.

PopUpCop killed every popup. Heard the "popup kill" noise like 3-4 times O_O. Why don't people realise popups are worthless? A lot of people by now have programs/plugins that kill them, and those who don't wouldn't click them anyhow probably.

Yeah, the only reason I know pop ups exist now is because other people still complain about them 😉

I have PopUpCop too, and man this is the best program I've ever used.... havent' seen a single popup in months.

Well, the system I was using is my laptop that is provided to me for my work. I doubt it would have crashed my home system. If you want to provide me with a new laptop then I would appreciate it, but if not then shut up.

I have to say, I have not had to use a Popup killer much because I tend to hit the same pages, I'm not one for browsing recklessly. But after this fiaso, I have downloaded the Google toolbar and I am now protected from these 'great' sites.
