10 Incredible Video Games You Can Beat In A Few Hours
4. Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne
Time To Beat: 3-4 hours
Max Payne's slow-motion, Matrix-inspired combat helped to usher in a new era of action games capable of recreating the most cinematic film sequences of the best action movies. For as important as it is, though, there was a lot of room for improvement when it came to many of the design elements.
Enter Max Payne 2. This sequel took just about everything that was lacking in the first game and turned it into something great. This is particularly true of the game's story. Whereas the first Max Payne provided a basic revenge story that was more of a parody of the genre than anything, the second presents a genuinely intriguing tale of love and violence that sucks you in quickly. Of course, you're still playing this game for the action which is even better than the first, thanks to the use of the Havok physics engine.
In little more than the time it takes to watch Die Hard, you can experience one of the finest shooters ever made.
