Blog War II
Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean all people are that way about sports games. The sad truth is a lot of people will rush out to buy a new game just because it has a new number attached to the end, but not all people. I also never meant to imply that all sports games should be changed drastically with every new one. Take the Tony Hawk games for example: They don't change a whole lot from sequel to sequel (except 2 and 3 which pretty much changed the way you play with the manual and revert), but now with T.H.U.G. it seems like it's not even a skateboarding game anymore. I guess I haven't played it yet though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that there's a different standard. Some (not all) people will go out and buy Madden, or Live, or what have you every year, but then turn around and complain about games like Max Payne or Resident Evil and how don't change enough.

Hi everyone. My name is Pete, and I love Max Payne 2. People have complained about it because it's not too different from the 1st one (aside from the amazing new physics engine. "Mmm... physicsy"). See the thing is people expect all sequels (except sports games) to either innovate or vastly change what the first had. This is because games don't hardly try to have much of a story, and just build a story around the game instead of the other way around. See, when movies do things like that, bad things happen. So why do games do it? You got me. Max Payne does it as it should be done, game around story, and the results are great. Sure it doesn't do anything thing gameplay wise that rocks any boats, but it sure does story wise. Heck, I think it makes a better movie than most movies do.
Speaking of movies (the segue king strikes again!), the reason I haven't mentioned it yet is because I lack the vocabulary to describe its splendor. Just let me say that it's better than you think it will be, no matter what. Just be sure to let yourself enjoy it even though it's different from the books.
