Gonna start Max payne 2 - but forgot the story!!

[Laztlain]

I installed Max 2 last night and started playing, but man I have forgotten just about every character in Max 1 - its been 4 years! Without replaying Max 1 any ideas on a good refresher? Is there maybe a way to view all the movie cutscenes form Max 1 without playing the game? Thanks!

dude the story is so long and yes u can view all the graphic novels press f1 in the last lvl (if u still have a save game)

else play it over again, its worth it and it can be done in like 1-3 hours

I think there's an option in the main menu of Max Payne 2, that says something like, "previously, on Max Payne." That should give you all the backstory.

The Max Payne wiki retells the entire story in great detail. It sorted out many story issues that confused me:

(I just wish the Max Payne 2 wiki was as detailed http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif)
