Max Payne 2...wicked!!!

[BBA]

Man...just spent about two hours getting mentally warped in this game.

I am extremely impressed as to how someone could have thought to make a game that gets inside your head like this game.

And the graphics...WOW! Havok 2 engine powered and totally smoooooooooth. Even with FSAA/AF it's silky...motion blur is a very cool effect to keep frame rates up.

I will give it a thumbs up for under dog most under-hyped release yet!

Very...to die for. :)

I played the first Max Payne, it's a excellent game, so far i only heard good things about it, i will certainly get it. :)

MP 2 definitely rocks...about the only complaint that I had was that it was a little short. Playing Jedi Academy right now...and the graphics from MP 2 just blow it out of the water. Especially as far as facial details and how a person looks when they talk. Don't really know how else to describe it except that on the first level of Jedi Academy...I almost started laughing at how goofy the facial expressions looked compared to MP2.

Both are great games though...personally I think Jedi will have more replay value. Just my .02.

I noticed the requirement to play this game is rather low being a new game and all. What is your system spec and what settings are you playing the game at?

[GohanSSJ]

I played not so long ago Jedi Outcast, and it's a brilliant game, i also downloaded the demo of Jedi Academy and again great.

It runs very smooth on a k7s5a pro, xp1700, 384MB sdram and a GF2 GTS 32MB. Played it with settings on medium @ 1024x768 32. When I enabled AA it said my card did not have enough memory so I turned it back off.

Thanks for the reply, Jad.

I'm very surprised. I think that just comes to show that game makers CAN make games with great graphics without the need for massive requirement! :)

I have pretty much a kicking system so I played it at 1152x964 w/ 5XFSAA and 4X AA. My frame rates were consistantly above 100 FPS.

Basically, it is the nicest looking graphics I have ever seen in a game and I was surprised at how well and smooth it played even at those settings. I also played the whole game through without even closing the game, I just alt+tab'd out when I was doing something else. This went on for about 8 days no less! (which proves the Havak2 engine has no memory leaks and the Via KT600 is dead stable even overclocked.)

I've played the first one through a couple times... definitely gonna hafta get this one too. ;)

well with the geforce 2 its doesnt get the weird effects like i see on my geforce 3 (like blurs when max zones out)........but it works?

damn even the voodoo 4 is working on it..but at 800x600.

i play at 1024x768. with the gs.......it does look nice.....i cant tell the fps.......where would i see that?

the dialogue is rather amusing..

i just hate the comic.......between level stuff

[EndobioticChaos]

Yep, it's definitely a great game. By now I've actually had it for several months, and long since beat it. ;)

[Carl D]

well, i just never play it......this fad thing basically destroyed all gaming....

and note how i never look anywhere else on the site other than the fad thread......


like i had tomb raider the last revelation for 3 years now.......i all got to was the sphinx and never played since....
