I saw it as Max Payne 1 part 2. I think in the gaming world people have forgotten that games can be extended. Seems like people seem to think that just because its a sequel or something that it has to have 2 generations above its original in graphics/physics/and required video card.
Kids who started gaming on p3 500s with voodoo 5s I think associate great games with eyecandy rather than how fun it is to play.
