Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

What can I say about Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne other than the title really nailed it. This game is crap compared to the first installment on every possible level. The three most memorable aspects of the first game has been completely ruined here: story, acting and bullet time.

The story is just crap. Nothing more to say. The writers must have been on Valkyrie...

The acting is almost as bad as the Max Payne movie (almost). Since when has Max Payne become so damn whiny.

The bullet time in Max Payne 2 is seriously the worst thing that has ever happened to a game franchise! Ever! As they say, if it isn't broken, don't fix it! Modders were quick to release Max Payne 1 bullet time mods, which kinda helped but shouldn't have been necessary.


So the bug question is now: complete this mess of a game or uninstall it for something worthwhile (maybe Max Payne 1)?

PS: By the way, Max Payne 3 is in the works. Let's hope they name it Max Payne 3: The Resurrection of Max Payne (the actual title is Rise From the Ashes, but that's close enough).
