Say what you will about Max Payne as an intellectual property (reportedly purchased for $10 million), but this is really about the gunfights.
Quote from the review at The Firing Squad:
“As long as you realize you’re buying a John Woo shootout sim and not a story-driven narrative with lots of cool weapons, locations, characters, and multiplayer longevity, Max Payne 2 won’t be a disappointment. Although it’s using some slick cutting-edge technology, in other regards, it’s ultimately a modest game that easily meets it own modest ambitions.”
