I played thru the game, and much enjoyed it, but I'm a bit too lazy to play thru long enough to see the alternate ending.

can anyone give me a quick run down of it?

(I will admit, I was Spoiler: disapointed that Mona died. I'm just a happy ending junkie, I guess

I thought it was great, the final line by Max was brilliant. I'm playing through the game every now and again to be able to see the alternative ending, you have to clock it two more times after the first time to get it.

Err.... Anyone want to clue me in on what takes place in the alternate ending?

I guess I could look it up, but someone was bound to ask.

Silvy

So if I read you right, you need to complete the game a third time (in sequential modes) to see the alternate ending?
I gotta get my game back out now!

Mona didn't die.

The alternate ending is only a few slides different. Not worth recompleting the game for.

Max Payne 2 is an excellent game. I think is worth it to beat the game again, even though its "few slides different". Good game deserve to beat more than once.

Mr.Deflok

Yup, that's the one.

I loved May Payne 2, but I don't think I have ever played a whole game from begining to end twice no matter how good it was.

There are so many other great games out there, as soon as I finish one I am on to the next one even before I finish, or don't finish if it sucks.

Let's see if I can remember all the games I recently played (not incl demos)

Max Payne 2
Jedi: Outcast
Jedi: Academy
Simpsons: Hit and Run
XIII
Call of Duty
Enter the Matrix
Postal 2
Rainbow 6:Raven Sheild
Splinter Cell
GTA III
GTA Vice City
Tiger Woods 2004
Wolverine
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Hmm, there maybe 3 or 4 missing, but of that list I think I finished all but 3. Enter the Matrix being one of them and by far the worst game I played all year.

one thing I'm not sure on, do you just have to play thru 3 times? or do you have to beat it on a specific difficulty level? (that's what I heard, and why I wasn't planning on doing it)

Yup, your normal way through once, then once on the next difficulty setting (Hard Boiled I think) then the following one once and you should get your alternate ending.
