max payne 1 and 2 any good?

A lot of people bash MP2 for being short but I don't think it is. Took me a good 2 weeks to complete, and has incredible attention to detail. I spent over an hour on the Police Station level alone, so many Easter eggs taking the mick out of 3DR / DNF, the names of the characters, listening into conversations, the lines the guy on the toilet comes out with etc. Even posters on the walls often had a subtlety to them. I really think some people must have missed out big style when playing MP2, half the gags and little touches probably went straight over their heads, or were bypassed altogether.

One word of advice to people playing the game - don't rush it.

MP1 was long and hard, they dont make games like that now.

At the time is was reputedly one of the shortest games ever. I think an average time of 6 to 7 hours to complete. Though it was very, very polished. Quality above quantity and all that.

I think I'll install them again over the festive period - I enjoyed it immensly (though if I'm ultra realistic now I could say that there are things in it which could have done with tweaking such as the enemies set play where they always materialise in the same place and the trippy / dream scenes just need to be removed).

Anyway, over all, well worth playing! And they're dirt cheap now! Buy, Buy, Buy!
 
Ahh, took me ages to play, someone above said MP2 was shorter and took him 2weeks.

You playing 24/7 or do you like the rest of us sleep/eat and go to work :p.

It was relatively short and quite easy. They both were.

You must all be crap :p

Like I hinted at above, just because games take someone longer doesn't mean to say they found it harder. It may just be that they are exploring more and not charging through the game. e.g. that Police Station level in MP2 has very little combat, I mean you could probably blitz in it 10mins easy rather than the hour it took me. But then you'd miss out on all the humour and in-jokes etc.
