I finished Max Payne 2 recently and while the overall experience
ranged from above-average to excellent, the ending sequence and the
song were simply brilliant.

Max Payne's plot is (and always has been) corny and Max Payne 2
doesn't change that in the least. It's just that MP2 brings to end
some of the unresolved stuff in MP1 and the final few cutscenes along
with the song (in both its theme and lyrics) tie into all that
perfectly.

Excellent choice by Remedy in picking the songwriters. And by the way,
the song is called 'Late Goodbye' and is done by 'Poets of the Fall'.
