Rockstar Games, a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive, is proud to announce Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne, the next instalment in the blockbuster Max Payne franchise. Developed by Remedy Entertainment, Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne for the PC is expected to hit (US) retail shelves Fall 2003.

When Max Payne debuted in July 2001 as an award-winning, best-selling PC game, it revolutionized the action genre with its cinematic combat sequences fuelled by the groundbreaking use of slow motion and compulsive narrative-driven gameplay. Later that year, console audiences were equally impressed by the stylish, urban, revenge-driven story of a fugitive cop with nothing to lose and Max Payne went on to achieve "Greatest Hits" status on PlayStation2 and "Platinum Hits" recognition on Xbox.

The highly anticipated Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne for the PC was unveiled to an extremely select audience by invitation only at this year's E3. In honour of this highly anticipated release, rockstargames.com/maxpayne2 has been updated to include a selection of official wallpapers, buddy icons and a screensaver. Download at will.

Look for the forthcoming launch of the official Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne website soon.
