One of Max's three dream sequences during the course of the game. With Mona's reappearance comes the unsetting reminder of events he attempted long ago to bury, steamming from the drug Valkyr, the death of his wife and daughter, the Inner Circle, and his latent and uncomfortable feelings for Mona. During the ensuing shootout, Max briefly comes face-to-face with Mona Sax (voiced by Wendy Hoopes), a woman presumed dead from the first game. During a seemingly routine murder investigation, Max discovers the 'Cleaners', a group of killers masquerading as a janitorial company to remove all evidence of their contract killings. In the two years since, Max (voiced by James McCaffrey) has left the DEA and returned to the NYPD as a homicide detective. It was released in 2003 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox.Īfter his two-night killing spree in the first game, all charges against Max were dropped with the intervention of Senator Alfred Woden, per their agreement with the Inner Circle, aided by the mitigating factors of Max wiping out a sizeable amount of criminal organizations. I don't recall memorizing lines from other games as much as I do with the Max Payne games, These games are definitely unique, at least to me.Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is a third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Rockstar Games. So many great quotes, and the excellent voice/delivery of James McCaffrey makes these lines even more unforgettable, literally any line Max says is a favorite of mine, he's got quite a unique perspective on life and the things that he goes through. With no way to deal with the past, I kept my eyes on the road, off the rear view mirror and the roadkill behind me When I did, my dreams were nightmares.Ĭlosing your eyes forces you to look at the darkness inside When someone, no matter what the cost, shows you there is hope, a choice, that you can put down your gun. Was it redemption? Not really, it was pathetic desperation and not much else

This place was like Baghdad with g-stringsĮverything is subjective.


The way I see it, there's two types of people: those who spend their lives trying to build a future and those who spend their lives trying to rebuild the past.

Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. Stay with it, and you can live a lifetime in that split secondĭeath is inevitable. When you're looking down the barrel of a gun time slows down, your whole life flashes by, heartbreak and scars.
