Max Payne 2 The Fall of Max Payne Free Download for PC is a third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Rockstar Games. The game is a sequel to Max Payne and is followed by the game Max Payne 3.
In Max Payne 2, the player controls Max Payne, a former DEA agent for the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and a fugitive framed for murder of his best friend and fellow cop Alex, by the corrupted agent, B.B., in New York City during the events of Max Payne. Two years after the events of the first game, Max has cleared his name and is now an NYPD detective. He reunites with Mona Sax, whom he met in the previous game, as they set out to resolve a conspiracy of death and betrayal, finding the Inner Circle in the center of it all.
Video game critics gave Max Payne 2 highly positive reviews. Praise focused on its action and story, while criticism targeted its short length. Despite the positive reception, the game sold poorly, leading Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive to cite Max Payne 2 's sales as a cause for the company's reforecast finances of 2004. Max Payne 2 received several industry awards, including Outstanding Art Direction at the Golden Satellite Awards 2004, and Editors' Choice Awards from GamePro, IGN, and GameSpy.

Gameplay
Max Payne 2 is a third-person shooter, in which the player assumes the role of Max Payne, but also plays as Mona Sax in a few levels.[1] Initially, the player's weapon is a 9mm pistol. As they progress, players access other weapons including other handguns, shotguns, submachine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and hand-thrown weapons. To move the game along, the player is told what the next objective is through Max's internal monologue, in which Max iterates what his next steps should be.[2]
When first played, the game only offers one difficulty level that is adjusted automatically if the game is too difficult for the player. For example, if the player's character dies too many times, the enemies' artificial intelligence is made less effective, while more health in the form of painkillers is made available. After completing the game once, other difficulty levels are unlocked.[3] Two special game modes are also activated: New York Minute and Dead Man Walking. In New York Minute, the player is given a score based on the time taken to complete each level. The Dead Man Walking mode places Max in one of five scenarios, in which he must survive for as long as possible while fighting off endlessly respawning enemies.

Max Payne 2 allows the player to enable bullet time, a mode that slows time, while still allowing the player to aim in real-time, to give the player more time to determine what they want to do. In this mode, the screen's color changes to a sepia tone to act as a visual cue. When in use, the bullet time meter will decrease until it is either empty or the player disables bullet time mode. The meter will eventually increase when not in use, but can be replenished quickly by killing enemies. To simulate the bullet time effect, Max can also execute a shoot-dodge maneuver. When the maneuver is performed, Max jumps in a direction specified by the player, and although Bullet Time is activated while Max is in mid-air, this will not deplete the bullet time meter. The combat system has been improved for Max Payne 2; the player can now arm Max with a secondary weapon such as a grenade or Molotov cocktail, and when near an enemy, Max can perform a melee attack. AI players occasionally come to Max's aid, although their death does not affect the gameplay or story.[4]
Plot
Two years after the events of the first game, Max Payne has been reinstated as a detective in the NYPD. While investigating a series of murders by a group of hitmen known as the Cleaners, Max encounters Mona Sax, who was assumed dead at the end of the previous game. While following her lead, Mona is eventually arrested because of her crimes. She is taken in to the police station, despite Max's protests. While at the station, Max overhears his new partner, Valerie Winterson, talking on the phone about Mona. Suddenly, the station is attacked by hitmen looking for Mona. Mona breaks out of her cell, and after fighting off the hitmen, Max and Mona begin hunting down the people responsible for the attack. Their search leads them to a construction site, where he and Mona defend themselves against the same hitmen. After their foes leave, Winterson arrives and holds Mona at gunpoint. Mona claims that Max's partner is there to kill her, while Winterson claims that she is simply trying to arrest a fleeing fugitive. After several moments of consideration, Max fatally shoots Winterson, allowing Mona to escape. Before she dies, Winterson shoots Max, leading to his hospitalization.[5]
After Max leaves the hospital, he finds Mona, and together, they begin to look for answers. When Max is kidnapped by his old associate, Vladimir Lem, head of the Russian mob, he learns that the Cleaners work for Lem, who used them to eliminate competition to his businesses. Max then learns that Lem is part of the secretive Inner Circle; Senator Alfred Woden, the leader of the Inner Circle, had ensured that the charges against Max were dropped at the end of the last game. Lem plans to kill Woden and gain control of the Inner Circle. Max also learns that Mona is a hired gun for Woden, with orders to kill Lem and himself. Finally, Max discovers that Winterson was Lem's mistress; to avenge her death, Lem shoots Max and leaves him for dead in a burning building. Mona rescues Max, and together, they go to Woden's mansion to save him from Lem. Max Payne 2 The Fall of Max Payne Free Download Torrent.
At the mansion, Mona knocks Max to the ground in an attempt to follow her orders to kill him, but discovers that her feelings for him keep her from doing so. Lem then shoots Mona, after realizing that she will not kill Max. Woden then appears in a wheelchair, and lunges at Lem; Woden is killed during the ensuing struggle. Max and Lem then fight while the mansion burns around them. Eventually, Lem is killed as the floor underneath him collapses. Max returns to Mona's side as the police arrive, and she dies in his arms.[5]
The alternative ending is non-canon with the rest of the series, and is unlocked on the highest difficulty of the game. In it, Mona Sax survives. Max Payne 2 The Fall of Max Payne game free Download for PC Full Version.
