Please note that in keeping with tradition around here, I will not be adding Final Fantasy XI for at least another week to stave off the knee-jerk reviews that are inevitable with any MMORPG launch. This week I spent playing Max Payne 2, and I have very mixed feelings about the game. On the one hand, it's a masterful action game. It moves by with blinding speed, and never slows down for a second, and it's got a great storyline. But then it's all over much too quickly, and aside from replaying it at higher difficulty levels, there's nothing left to do. I'll be posting my review soon, and that's basically the gist of it right there. This is a great, great game, but woefully short. It actually felt shorter to me than the first game (which was pretty darn short to begin with) which was definitely a surprise. I usually like games that don't drag on too long, but Max Payne 2 is just too short to recommend at full price. My advice? Wait for the price to come down a bit, and buy both games at the same time. Combined, the two games will still be shorter than something like Half-Life, but at least you'll get more than a week's gameplay out of it (for the record, I got just five days of gameplay out of Max Payne 2).
