I'd actually say that Max Payne was better than MP2... :)

That was because of it being a new concept. :)
I liked MP way more then MP2.

Saw Painkiller "Black" DVD for $19.00 - picked it up anyway

(still scoping out Oblivion: ES) :? Although all that adding Mod + + + + stuff is starting to sway me away... :?



OK, OK - CRITERIA NOW INCLUDES LAST YEAR


KEEP 'EM COMING LADS !!! :lol:

>>I'd actually say that Max Payne was better than MP2...
I would say so too. Max Payne 2 was way too easy. In Max Payne, you took damage just as quickly as your enemies did, and even faster than the ones who wore body armor, so you were forced to constantly improvise and plan your shoot-dodges ahead of time. In Max Payne 2, the shoot-dodge is all but useless; in addition to making it easier to it enemies, it also turns you into a slow-moving target that gets hit more. But to make up for it, you have a ton more health and you can run at normal speed during slow motion, making the ideal "strategy" to charge into a room with slow-motion on while shooting all the bad guys as fast as possible to minimize your damage and maximize your timer.

And here are the best PC shooters (with a good offline mode) since 2004 (the release year of Painkiller):
Call of Duty 2
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Cold Fear
Doom 3
Far Cry
FEAR
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Heroes of the Pacific
Painkiller
Prey
SiN Episodes: Emergence
Quake 4

True, except the dream levels in MP1 were annoying and the bulletime in MP2 was AWESOME.
