Started playing Max Payne 2 last night, and I’m very impressed. Though I hear it’s short, the game is infused with so much quality it’s squirting out through its gritty pores. The physics engine is an absolute riot to play with –you can knock objects down and around realistically, and it’s loads of fun. The designers did a good job of incorporating this into the game, so that if you jump out from behind a corner and pump three thugs full of buckshot, it’s immensely satisfying when they fly back into a pile of boxes and canisters. GREAT stuff.
I can’t wait to get home tonight and play some more. To me, that’s the hallmark of a great game.
Payne
