Mona Sax is a vigilante who figures prominently in Max's story both as a love interest and as a rival and ally. Wait! So Max Payne 2's a love story? You bet. In fact, the Fall of the title implies falling in love as much as falling from grace. While the first game's primary drive was Max avenging the murder of his wife and baby, this time around love will provide a more immediate motivation. Even more amazing, Max actually confesses to the murder for an undisclosed (but sure to be totally twisted and cool) reason.
But the murder of his partner sends him over the edge again.particularly once he's framed for the murder. As we said before, Max is back on the police force now, trying to make a go of things again.
YES NO Without giving away too much of the story (which, along with the action, is still one of the most rewarding reasons to play Max Payne), there are even more film noir aspects to the story. How do you get a guy in Max's position to start caring about things again? And how do you do it in a way that will make sense to the player and the character? The team told me candidly that they weren't even sure they could find a compelling and logical enough narrative to bring Max back from the hell he found himself in at the end of the last game. And these features are a part of all NPCs, not just Max. This facial animation (which is all the rage in shooters apparently) really helps to add a new level of believability to the game and offers a more natural lip synching. We watched as Max moved his eyebrows around and offered up a range of smirks. You can see from the shots that he's softened a bit but there's a much greater range of expression possible now. No longer sporting the "What's that smell?" look on his face, Max now looks mostly tired. The first surprise is that Max looks older and a bit tamer. IGNPC's Steve Butts traveled to New York City to see the PC version of the game and brought us this report. Due out this fall, the sequel maintains much of what we loved about the first title while still taking enough risks to offer surprises as well. Humbled by the title's tremendous success on the PC (a success that was as surprising as it was justified) the Remedy team has finally let us take a look at the PC version of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. The gritty film noir hero is back even grittier and noirier than before (yeah, noirier isn't a really word.so?). Criminals take note: Max is back on the force.
