But they can also cut you down with it too. Each round does some vicious damage, and you can cut someone down with only a couple bullets if you aim right. You'll forget the Ingram ever existed once you start wielding the Kalashnikov AK-47. You have the Ingrams, three assault rifles, and two machine guns. There are so many fully automatic weapons, though, that a few get lost in the shuffle. The grenade launcher is gone, but you now have the MP5, a versatile assault rifle with a short-range scope. There are some interesting changes in the arsenal, speaking of which. Thankfully, the new Bullet Time mode also gifts you with rapid reload, which you will perform with a dramatic whirl and a swooping camera. Once you've finished a dive and are getting back to your feet, they better be dead, or you'll get a deadly lead salad before you've gotten all the way back up.

Plus they will all be wearing body armor eventually, forcing you to aim right at their heads if you want to take out two or three people in one dive. If this makes things sound too easy, well, let me tell you, these guys are quick on the draw and very rarely travel alone. Video Review Available! Want to see it all for yourself? Well, check out Max in all his Noir-ish glory! Also, the slow-motion dives don't use up the meter. You still get a boost in your hourglass when you take someone down, but the meter also gradually refills while you're not using that mode. It doesn't last for very long, but it's enough to get you through some tough spots, especially when a van pulls out in front of you and spills out more people than even Rambo could handle. However, there's another button that will put you in the new Bullet Time, and with each kill during this phase, your enemies become slower, until you can easily dodge bullets at medium range. You'll still be able to do those slow-motion dives, but you can actually stay on the ground until you've stopped firing. Your first firefight will be different as well, thanks to some adjustments in Bullet Time. Puddles of water give accurate reflections of their surroundings. You can knock things over like chairs, stools, boxes. A lot of animation has been motion-captured. Close-ups of faces are remarkably realistic. You'll notice some immediate improvements over the original as the scene opens at a city hospital. Along for the ride are our old friends Chief Bravura, Vladimir Lem, Vinnie Gognitti, Mona Sax, and a couple others, but I don't want to give too much away. Unfortunately, he couldn't be more wrong, and he will end up tumbling through another long rabbit hole into a Wonderland of mayhem and drama at least equal to what he waded through many years before. He thinks his past is behind him when he responds to a police dispatch regarding shots fired at an old warehouse. He is still a haunted man, now living in a hole-in-the-wall, run-down apartment and back to working for the NYPD. Yet although Max found some closure, the years have not been kind. The eponymous hero wreaked bloody vengeance upon the corporation responsible for the murders of his wife and daughter, but Max was painted as a hero thanks to a powerful man named Alfred Woden, the head of an inner circle of Illuminati-type power players.
