Max Payne wasn't very good. If you knew where the bad guys spawned, you used judicious slow mo to decimate them. If you didn't you might survive, but it was a lot less likely, and there wasn't much you could do about it as one hard to spot guy with a shotgun or uzi would end your game almost instantly. I can't tell you what possessed me to pick up the sequel. I guess I just got tired of it staring at me from store shelves. So I played it (mostly on god mode, which still didn't help with the annoying escort missions). It sucked. I can move on.
Stubbs the Zombie was a similar situation. I knew it was a third person Halo, which never had very good gameplay. Stubbs is even worse because it gives you a bunch of fun abilities, then makes them take way too long to recharge. At least in Halo, it wasn't fun for me in the first place, so I didn't get my hopes up. I got the cheat that let me use all the special abilities all the time. That was far more fun.

I just came across my copy of MP2 the other day, and thought about installing it. Probably won't.
When most people talk about how much they like Max Payne, their usually talking about mods that add extra kung fu moves and bullet time. There might be something fun there. But playing the game on it's own did nothing for me.
