Why is Max Payne so damn awesome

The series overall, but with a focus on MP2. I think because:

1) The fact that both games have an *exactly* similar style and feel, while still offering improvements in the second.
2) The slow-mo is awesome (unlike FEAR's).
3) You can carry as many weapons as your heart desires.
4) Dual weapons kick ass.
5) Mona Sax is hot.
6) Music is awesome.
7) Story is the best.
8) Comic strip cutscenes is a unique and cool idea.

Anything to add?

And if you don't like Max Payne, why the hell not?
 
:thumbsup:

I especially Love the cheeseball dialouge

"After Y2K the end of the world had become a cliché. But who was I to talk, a brooding underdog avenger alone against an empire of evil out to right a grave injustice. Everything was subjective. There were only personal apocalypses. Nothing is a cliché when it's happening to you."

"The past is like a puzzle, like a broken mirror reflecting your life, when you piece it together the image keeps shifting and you change with it, it could destroy you, drive you mad, it could set you free."

"It was colder than the devil's heart, raining ice pitchforks as if the heavens were ready to fall."
 
oh god ur right http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0467197/

thanks hollywood for turning top quality games to bottom stinkpile crap

they already ruined, mario, tomb raider (some may argue games suck more than movie), resident evil, house of the dead and doom.

edit: resident evil movies were pretty good IMO.
 
Just played it for two hours straight. Most games don't hold my attention that long. It's only because the story's good and it doesn't get boring.
 
max payne 2 is so great I played through 3 times to see the best ending. the mode where you get more time for every bad guy you kill is fun too.

The ending changes on higher difficulties?

I know theres an alternate ending, didn't know there was two alternate endings. Overall its the atmosphere like DainBramaged said, I like the comicbook-cut scenes, and especially the narration during cut scenes. It could also be that Max Payne embodies the dark side that many wish to embrace....er.....or not.
 
It's wicked :beer:

nah ending doesn't change, youjust unlock an arcade style shootout that is quite fun 😉

EDIT ah ok see post above.
 
I loved the Max Payne series SO FSCKING MUCH. They weren't games to me.. they were more like a story!

I can't wait for the movie 😀😀😀
