Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Overall: Max Payne is a great game. Max Payne 2 just takes it a bit farther. Basically the storyline is kind of a love story between max and mona from the original game. Max is framed again and hes itching for some payback...again. All kinds of twists and turns in the plot pop up and Max is always right in the middle of it. Sometimes the story can get kind of crazy though but Max Payne is all about taking on the crazy and the highly armed....Gameplay: I enjoyed playing Max Payne 2 just as much as the original. Bullet time is back and thats always cool. Basically all the weapons are the same pretty much. You can play as Mona at one point in the game and Max can enlist the help of other characters in other levels. The levels do seem to be a bit shorter is all and easier. There are different modes of play..each one unlockable after you beat the one before it. Two different endings exist in the game. Its a great game but I really dont want to play through the whole game again just to see a slightly different ending.
Graphics: Max Payne 2 is very impressive visually. It just adds to the great graphics of the original one. The crazy dream sequences are back and the crazy graphic effects really make you feel like youre dreaming. Bad guys do the rag doll effect and this is especially cool when you kill a bad guy and it shows the slow mo cutscene of his death. The details applied to the environments like the walls and even the ceilings really make the max payne story all the more better. Im definately happy with the visuals.
Audio: Audio is pretty good. Voice acting is very well done. It adds to the whole atmosphere especially in the dream sequences. The music is really good too and does a good job matching the game also. The audio can be mature themed sometimes but thats part of what the max payne series is about.
Suggestions: Make the game longer next time.
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Counter-Strike
Overall: Counterstrike is finally here! I've been waiting for this game on xbox since I heard of xbox live and it basically does the job I hoped for. It a fast paced online FPS meant for xbox live. Counterstrike has a single player and a multiplayer mode. If you have played unreal championship then you know what its single player consists of.....bots. Its basically playing online with bots. You play as terrorist or counterterrorist. Your goal as a terrorist is to hold hostages or plant bombs. Your goal as a counterterrorist is to rescue hostages or defuse bombs. Along the way you just try to wipe out the other team.Gameplay: I have been playing this game alot. replay value is great..especially on xbox live. I wouldn't suggest it if you dont have live. There are a bunch of good maps and a bunch of good weapons to mess with. Matches dont have tons of lag some some others. Its easy to learn to play and learning new ways to suprise or get the jump on the enemy is really fun. This game is a definate purchase if you want something you can always go back to.
Graphics: As far as graphics go..ya its no masterpiece. Even the first wave xbox titles looked better then this one, but gameplay and replay factor more then make up for it. I do like the blood splatters when you get killed though.
Audio: Solid audio. The weapons sound like weapons. The footsteps sound like footsteps. The voices sound like old school Counterstrike from the pc. It gets the job done.Its easy to distinguish where the enemy is coming from if you listen.
Suggestions: Improve the graphics...
