Max Payne was the first game to include bullettime effectively (and was conceived before The Matrix made bullettime common). Max Payne 2 takes this above and beyond with Bullettime 2.0: killing enemies 'supercharges' your bullettime, slowing things down even further and making you even more dangerous.

Recommended mods:

Closer to Truth: Lobby edition
Adds various 'gun-kata' moves, infinite bullettime, and some badass specal moves. Still very unfinished and unpolished, though.

CINEMA MOD 2.0
Personal favorite here. Cinema gives you better bullettime with a faster regeneration, replaces the useless sawn-off shotgun with a colt Anaconda, and gives you several new weapons (single and dual Suppressed Berettas, dual MP5Ks (the MP5 was replaced with an MP5K), and a minigun).

I know I really need to play the Max Payne games... but it's just so damn hard to look at the first one... it might be one of the ugliest games ever.

Actually, when I hear that phrase I think of "Realm of Existence" before "Max Payne".

Didn't they mock Max's constipated looks from MP1 in 2? Or am I confused with some webcomic now?

Yeah, somewhere in the game they mention a cop with constipated looks.

No, that would be MechWarrior 2. That game's graphics sucked a lot more than Max Payne 1.

Well I mean it's on a show that's on a TV in the game about a cop, and he talks completely in narration, it's sort of a big parody of the games.

This game kicks so much ass, I have both games and enjoy them very much. I even have an original script of the first Max Payne game with stuff they cut out before the game was released.

Max Payne 2 for $6.99 is a great deal.

I love the way that the stories are written, they'll pull you in really quick.
