These games are genuinely the pinnacle of third person shooters and I want like a million more shooters like max payne. This game just like the first one is absolutely amazing with some of the most entertaining and fun ragdoll physics that cause the shooting to feel even more satisfying. While I slightly prefer the story of the first game this one's definitely great as well with mona sax adding so much more interest in max payne as a character and seeing him slowly slipping more and more away over this woman coming into his life. My biggest complaint tho is definitely the length. While I don't mind shorter games at all I just wish this game was just the slightest bit longer. The slow motion felt great especially with the added ragdoll physics making it super satisfying. In general this is just even more max payne I can't complain about that, hopefully the third game manages to be just as good as these ones.

Let me preface this review by saying that I've never dived deep into survival horror at all. Quite literally the only survival horror game I've played through was cry of fear which was awsome. I state all this though to explain why a lot of the references in this game probably went over my head, obviously i understood the silent hill 2 and blood references but there's probably a lot more I missed. But even with my lack of knowledge on the genre this game fucking rocks. It isn't very difficult by any means or has any challenging puzzles but who cares this game has the vibes and a super fun feel to it. All the guns are super fun to shoot with some amazing blood and gore effects that just bring straight euphoria when I used the shotgun. The enemies really struggled though in how spongy they were to take down and some pretty mediocre bosses that weren't exactly memorable. This game just feels like a huge labor of love from the developer and is easily worth it's small price tag even with it's short length.

This game works wonders in idea and the vibes of it but kinda sucks when it comes to the gameplay. The loading screens and the text between all the levels are amazing in setting this more serious tone, sorta feeling like that one blank theory album cover in the way its presented. The ending as well is one of my favorites in gaming and wonderfully ends the game with something that leaves you thinking and not being just a complete edge fest. Then there is actually playing the game. The gameplay sucks through and through, The diverse guns are really cool but actually using them is dreadful and boring. You just go into a stage and shoot same looking enemies that are quite literally just bullet sponges until they fall to the ground and you rinse and repeat this for every single level with very few diversity or change in the gameplay. the game is just unimaginably boring to play with the only saving grace about it being that it only lasts for maybe 2 hours. The game isn't difficult either so you're not really thinking while playing but instead just going through the motions till you've killed enough to people to progress. I enjoy the running with scissors team and the future postal games but this first one really is not a good game and is better to look back on and remember it as the first postal game rather then actually playing it.

This game is everything a sequel should strive for. This game while incredibly similar to the first in mechanics practically improves every single element form the first to make it as refined as possible. This used to be my all time favorite uncharted game and when I was a kid something that I genuinely thought was one of the best things ever made. I still think this game is amazing but I don't hold it in the same vain as I used to especially compared to other games in the series. The story and characters are absolutely amazing with chloe being one of my all time favorite characters in this series. I wish there had been more inclusion of sully but that is 100% just bias of him being my favorite character. Lazarevic is probably the most forgettable villian in this franchise, to the point where I just had to search up his name to remember it. The gun play is amazing as always and while it does share a lot of the same guns as the first it improves the feel of these guns in firefights. The set pieces within this game is probably the best in the franchise, the opening in the train is probably hands down the best opening to a game ever. There are so many iconic scenes that I could spend hours talking about, the whole chapter running through the train, trying to fight off a tank, and even the helicopter chase are all just a few examples of this game's amazing set design. This is easily one of the best ps3 games that came out during its lifetime and is something any playstation fan should play.

This is my first time playing a game in this series and this is easily one of the best third person shooters i've ever played. There's so many different locations with enough interactivity and bullets flying that makes it feel like a john woo movie at some points. The cutscenes and story are amazing with the corny dialogue being super charming and help gives the game a great feel of personality. The gunplay is out of this world and probably some of my favorite in any game i've played ever. The combination of guns all are amazing and definitely able to feel the difference within each. Overall this shit is fire and I genuinely can't wait to play the sequels

This is a super nostalgic game for me because this game is in a list with batman arkham asylum and assassins creed 2 as games I've played through too many times to count. This game has a super great story and for a 7th generation third person shooter is really good at differentiating itself from the endless pile of them. The climbing's always been hit or miss for me on it either being frustating or working seamlessly but still works for what it is doing. The variety of weapons is definitely lacking with there really only being a couple different guns and some like the revolver and the deagle that are straight up just different models that do more damage. Overall though this game fucking rules and is the start to one of my favorite franchises ever and I can't wait to start replaying them for this account soon.

I had been super hyped for this game when it was coming out and only finally got around to playing it over a year after it released. The use of one arm is super good at creating stress within the game and while it's not inherently a scary game it has a very tense atmosphere and definitely kept me on edge. The story was ok and served well for what the gameplay was. The combat was good just really felt like it could've been expanded a bit more with there only really being 4 weapons in the whole game. I also played the epidemic mode and that was some good fun for a bit but after a while it got really repetitive with the maps looking really samey. Overall this was super fun and while i wish there was a more to it, it definitely delivers on a great survival horror gameplay and definitely delivered in what i was hoping from the game.

I’m gonna be completely honest, this score is 100% pure nostalgia. Growing up playing this game with my friend and going to find all the Easter eggs and getting all collectibles are memories that I will cherish forever and hold close to me. I have sunk way to many hours into this game throughout my life that it’s unhealthy, what makes it crazier is this time replaying is the first time I fully 100% the game. I can’t even begin to give this an objective look I love everything about it. I love the movement that’s a million times better than the other games as well as some of the greatest destruction in any game ever made. The story is a million times better than the other games as well and though the dialog is super corny it just adds so much to the charm. This is easily one of the best open world games ever made and one game that will always hold a special place within my heart.

Yeah this game is kinda a stinker. I love guitar hero and clone hero and while i'm not good at those games by any means I still find great enjoyment when i play them. This was not that at all, now to be fair i wasn't able to get my guitar working for this game so I had to use keyboard which isn't the worst thing in the world but definitely effected the enjoyment. The inputs would sometime just not go through and a lot of the stuff involving the menu was pretty janky. The music is just some pretty mediocre metal covers of famous christmas music that actually playing is pretty easy even on hard mode. Overall I just did not have a good time with this but for .50C I can't really complain that much for how cheap it is.

Played this because one of my favorite game series ever is the batman arkham series and I've never played rocksteady's first game and honestly it was a blast. This has some super fun gunplay and shockingly has a not that bad story. The guns are fun tho the designs of them look like something a 9 year old thought future police guns would look like(not a bad thing at all). Some of the missions are difficult tho never too hard where it feels unfair, the medals add more of a challenge and can sometimes be a bit annoying getting but the fact that their optional makes it a lot better. Overall this is a super underrated and amazing ps2 game that started a company that made some of the best superhero games ever made.

Definitely have a huge amount of nostalgia for this but replaying makes me realize it’s not nearly as good as I remember. The story is super bland, the open world is pretty meh, and the missions feel mostly the same except for a select few. The game just starts dragging near the end as you’re just doing faction missions so you can do the main story which there isn’t a lot of to begin with. It’s definitely good when it comes to the simple things like blowing stuff up and the movement. While I do enjoy it slightly more then the first one the charm of the first game is pretty much gone from this game, feeling like a more generic open world game. Overall the game isn’t bad by any means but lacking in a lot of aspects I straight up just didn’t remember as a kid.
