reviews

    I loved Max Payne 2, for it's story, presentation, and epic gun battles. Max Payne 1 was just as great, but Max Payne 2 just grabbed my heart and soul a little more.

    Less than a week ago, I stumble upon this mod. It's called "Cinema 2.0," and I was all "hay, that looks fun." 

    So I downloaded it. And oh. my. FUCK! There's a helpful serving of new weapons and improved defaults, from silenced Berettas (cue Boondock Saints), to a revolver (do ya feel lucky, punk?!), dual MP5K, and a freaking minigun. All the original gun models are improved, with new animations.

    However, there are some gripes I have. I'm going to make a list of fury, brace yourselves.

• The Bullettime music, 3/4 of it is shit, and there's only 2 or 3 actual good songs. I found myself quickly mashing my right mouse button trying to find the one that sounded like the Boondock Saints.
• The "improved" player models are crap. Max looks like a generic toy, and Mona's been thrown in a tar vat.
• Some of the new weapon skins look like shit. Namely the sniper rifle and 2 tone desert eagle. Ugh.

 The high points, why I'm going to give it a high score, are as follows.

• The new weapons are fucking awesome. Silenced berettas, Anaconda revolver, the M4A3 is a dream, and the minigun is just fun. What gaming should be - fun.
• Bullettime is a billion kajillion times better. Some of the bullettime music, is... fucking epic. Which makes up for the crappy ones.
• I haven't felt so badass playing a game since SMOD tactical, when I could run Half Life 2 on my crap computer.TASTE MY JUSTICEEE
• A cleaner was trying to throw a molotov at me, and his buddy was right in front of me... well, I about died laughing, literally.

If you don't have Max Payne 2, get it. If you do, download this mod, and ASAP. The gripes you can get past, the gunplay is just excellent and better than most forms of fornification.
