Max
Payne 2 is just a remarkable production, and what it lacks in length or
volume it more than makes up for in quality and density.
Two
years after the events of the first game, Max Payne has quit his job at
the DEA and returned to his former job as an NYPD detective. While
investigating a series of murders by a group of contract killers called
the Cleaners, Max encounters Mona Sax, who was assumed dead at the end
of the previous game. Wanted for the murder of Senator Gates, Mona is
arrested despite Max's protests, and taken to the police station. While
at the station, Max overhears his new partner, Detective Valerie
Winterson, talking on the phone about Mona. Suddenly, the station is
attacked by the Cleaners, who are looking for Mona. Before they reach
her, Mona breaks out of her cell and vanishes into the night. After Max
meets her again at her residence, where they fight off the Cleaners who
followed Max to her place, they begin hunting down the people
responsible for the attack. Their search leads them to a construction
site, where Max and Mona defend themselves against the Cleaners. After
their foes flee, Detective Winterson arrives and holds Mona at gunpoint.
Mona claims that Winterson is there to kill her while Winterson claims
that she is simply trying to arrest a fleeing fugitive. After several
moments of consideration, Max shoots Winterson, allowing Mona to escape.
Before she dies, Winterson shoots Max, leading to his hospitalization.
After
Max leaves the hospital, he begins looking for answers. When Max is
kidnapped by Vladimir Lem, head of the local Russian Mafia, he learns
that the Cleaners work for Lem, who uses them to eliminate the
competition to his businesses. Max then learns that Lem is part of the
secretive Inner Circle, led by Senator Alfred Woden, who had ensured
that the charges against Max were dropped at the end of the previous
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 Max. After Lem reveals that Detective Winterson was his mistress, he
shoots Max in the head, 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.
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 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 begin to fight,
until Lem triggers a bomb that he planted in the mansion. After they
both drop to the floor below, Max pursues Lem through the mansion. Max
faces Lem in a firefight, and eventually destabilizes the platform below
Lem, causing it to fall to the floor below, killing Lem. Max returns to
Mona's side as the police arrive, and she dies in his arms. If the game
is completed at its highest difficulty level, Mona survives.
