Waiting for an invitation to come in or something? unless you're a cutscene designer I guess.Įventually Max discovers that Mona has been using the funhouse as her lair and barges right in on her in the shower.
Though on the plus side cutscenes have subtitles now and they're skippable, which is always, ALWAYS a good thing. In Max Payne 2 on the other hand this cutscene would be in-engine, mandatory, and Max would be too depressed to even think about picking up a dart.
Whether it stayed true to the tone of the franchise is debatable, but critics and players agreed that it was a hell of a lot better than the mid-budget Max Payne movie released four years earlier.īut I'm meant to be talking about Max Payne 2 right now, so.
Critics and players loved the game but it didn't end up selling all that well and with Remedy Entertainment moving on to making Alan Wake the series lay dormant for almost a full decade after this before Rockstar Vancouver stepped in and gave it a big-budget blockbuster makeover with Max Payne 3. Max Payne 2 came out in 2003, two years after the original game, for PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2 (the GBA had to sit this one out I'm afraid).
I'll be playing through Part One, mentioning anything that comes to mind as I go. Yeah sorry I totally cheated there (and I'd do it again without shame or hesitation).
