2nd game is better.
Since this is the first game in the franchise, some gameplay elements and level design choices are rough. Enemies always ambush you and the game's difficulty adapts to you, meaning enemies will take more hits to kill if you keep playing well. Vice-versa, if you keep dying, enemies will be easier to kill. There's one major flaw in this argument. …
Since this is the first game in the franchise, some gameplay elements and level design choices are rough. Enemies always ambush you and the game's difficulty adapts to you, meaning enemies will take more hits to kill if you keep playing well. Vice-versa, if you keep dying, enemies will be easier to kill. There's one major flaw in this argument. You HAVE TO spam Quicksave and Quickload if you want to have a decent time in this game. That means deaths won't be registered and the difficulty will just keep on going up.
There's also no sense of accuracy on any weapon except the sniper rifle, which is because, duh, it's a sniper rifle. You just aim in the general direction of your enemy and hope to RNGesus that your shot will connect. This is especially a problem on longer range battles where you just get sniped by the aimbotting enemies using Ingrams.
I much prefer the second game but this game is a nice entry to the franchise. Makes you appreciate the improvements in Max Payne 2 even more.
