    Sam Lake has a very distinctive writing style, and Rockstar failed to emulate that (or they didn’t even try, that’s ok, but that’d be no Max Payne sequel for me). The team at Remedy also has a special way of building idle spaces that I missed.

      Yes, I will give you that. Lake’s writing style is more… let’s say poetic. If that is one of the main draws of the series for someone, then MP3 might disappoint.

        I mean… as with all Remedy games the writing, tone and style is pretty much the draw. MP3 is a great third-person shooter, but it’s not a great Max Payne.
