Max Payne 2 - The Fall of Max Payne

Max Payne hits the streets of the Big Apple

Product Information

In 2001, Max Payne arrived to set the benchmark for action gaming, earning countless awards and revolutionizing the genre with cinematic combat sequences fuelled by the groundbreaking use of slow motion and compulsive narrative-driven gameplay. Now, working together with Rockstar Games' New York-based production team, Remedy has combined Max Payne's hallmark gameplay with all new innovations and unmatched production values. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is set to raise the bar for action games all over again.

Against all odds Max Payne is cleared from the charges after the first game, with some help from Alfred Woden. Now he's once again hunted for murder, this time he's guilty though, and yet again he loses a loved one. Mona is back, this time as his love interest, again he faces the New York underground, full of scum and murderous thugs, this time he looks even better though.
