Shadrack Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 The story isn't hard to follow, so don't worry about that. Insight into Max Paynes character: he's a hard core cop who's family got murdered and he is really ****ed off, dark, and depressing. What else is there, really. Now, if you enjoyed the 2nd one you might want to go back and play the first one, as it is more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrack Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 something for me to tag on: Max Payne 1 and 2 could use more gore :)! The blood is so minimal..it could be a lot more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanctified Veteran Posted December 31, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 31, 2003 play the first one first because you need a background of why max payne is how he is and how his universe affected him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRKx Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Max Payne 1 and 2 could use more gore Nah - I think it worked perfectly in the second one. Gore isn't necessarily to tell a good story - or, in MP's case, a cliche mediocre story that's delivered superbly. The lack of gore, but ultra-violence, also helped fit the whole noir feel more, IMHO. That being said: As to playing MP1 first? Totally up to you, guy - I only played a portion of the first one first (I didn't care for it at all,) and the second was fine. My roommate never touched the first one - and he had no problems with the second. There's really nothing (or at least little,) from the first story that's poignant that they don't explain in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midavis Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 The story was good but come on, the second one doesn't "pick up" right where the first left all.....it stands just fine by itself......both are good games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I found MP2 to be much shorter than the first game - game play wise. The story is tight though. Its definately movie style candidate. Cool game nevertheless. I played it though on my TNT2 - gonna try it again on my Radeon 9600 Pro this week - see if I like it more! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
