This is probablly the best sequal I have ever played in my life. This game is so dark and so twisted but at the same time so fun, that it throws you more twists and turns than a good horror movie. The stroy takes off right where the last one left and MAx is even more messed up than he was before. I have to say the graphics are such an update from the first game and the controls are still topnotch. Like I said before the story is so awsome. I love this series so much. The rumors of Max Payne 3 make me so excited I could wet myself. Just kidding. The only thing that could have been changed is that it could have been way longer. It is only seven-ten hours, seven if you've played the series before and you played all the first games difficulty levels. The bullet time is still better than any Matrix game ever made. Nothing feels cooler than diving in bullet time and shooting a gas barrel with a sawed off shotgun and killing the men taking cover ebhind it. This game is near perfect, I give it a 9/10.
