A Good Game a day for the rest of time perhaps?
Today it’s Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne a 2003 third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Rockstar Games for Microsoft Windows (PC), Xbox and PlayStation 2. The game is a sequel to Max Payne. In Max Payne 2, the player controls Max Payne, a detective for the New York City Police Department. Reinstated after the events of the previous game, he reunites with Mona Sax, and they set out to resolve a conspiracy of death and betrayal.
Video game critics gave Max Payne 2 highly positive reviews. Praise focused on its action and story, while criticism targeted its short length. Despite the positive reception, the game sold poorly, leading Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive to cite Max Payne 2’s sales as a cause for the company’s 2004 forecast finances. Max Payne 2 received several industry awards, including Outstanding Art Direction at the Golden Satellite Awards 2004, and Editors’ Choice Awards. A sequel, Max Payne 3, was released in 2012.
