MAX PAYNE 2: Matrix Edition

#############################################

ZIP FILE CONTENTS:

#- Matrix Edition v1.1.mp2m
#- Readme.txt (this file).

#############################################

This mod is my first attempt, it was originally just my way of learning the mechanics of MP2 modding but after a while it evolved into a decent mod, so I decided to release it, enjoy :).

INSTALLATION:

Copy the '.mp2m' file into the same directory as the Max Payne 2 exe file. Start Max Payne 2 and select 'Matrix Edition v1.1' from the 'Choose customized game' pull-down menu.
