Another one bites the dust

Been muchos busyos over the last few days. OK, some of it was work but the main reason being that I just got Max Payne 2. Yeah, OK, I know it’s been out for ages, but for a number of reasons I never got round to getting it.

I played the original when it first came out and was mightily impressed. Not as much so as when Doom made it’s debut, but still, it had a well though out story line and good game play and, of course, bullettime.

So, anyhow. I was not even remotely disappointed with the sequel. A most splendid game, and one of the best sequels there has been I believe (OK, again, apart from Doom and Doom II - Let’s not even mention Doom 3). True to the original, and quite rightly so. Why change when you’ve got a winning formula. But that’s it finished now. There’s always the other game play modes I guess, but it’ll be a year or two before the next sequel.

Once again, a piece of music from somewhere caused me to stop dead and listen. This time the end theme from the game. Performed by Poets of the fall the piece was called Late goodbye and is well worth a listen. They’re a Finnish group and their CD ain’t available on Amazon (grrr) but I think I shall be sourcing a copy very soon.
