Kärtsy Hatakka & Kimmo Kajasto are the Finnish composers of Max Payne and Max Payne 2 game soundtracks. Their atmospheric instrumental tunes perfectly fit the games which are both dark and noir-style. Music in those games is a great background to the history of an introverted protagonist and his metaphoric soliloqies. .
