Pros cool storyline...awesome game play
Cons story can go slow at times
Recommended it? Yes

I was bored one day, and so I went to Family Video to check out the games(for the millionth time that day). I browsed around the games until I found one last copy of Max Payne sitting on the top shelf. Yay, after months of Hollywood Video and Family Video BOTH not having Max Payne, I finally find a...

Pros Bullet time.
Cons Game play takes some getting used to; graphics better on a PC. Voice Acting.
Recommended it? Yes

While lapsing in and out between stupors (via alcohol -- say no to it, kids!) I noticed some friends of my friends playing what looked like a cool game on the X-Box: Max Payne. I'd heard scant information about it; my friend who went with me said he knew about it seeing as how he was steeped in... Read full review »

New York. Fugitive Undercover Cop. Nothing To Lose.

Pros Intense gameplay, excellent detail, bullet time is fun, Max is a great lead character.
Cons Lots of long loadtimes, quite a bit of slowdown, could use more variety.
Recommended it? Yes

2001 was probably one of the biggest years for gaming in a while. The highly-anticipated Sony PlayStation2, Microsoft X-Box, and Nintendo GameCube game consoles all saw release that year and sold in record time. All three systems had games that also sold very well and became instant classics.

Pros Bullet Time! Dark ambience, cool style, good story.
Cons Valkyr levels, rarity of health, difficulty.
Recommended it? Yes

Max Payne comes from the gritty minds of Rockstar, and the shoot 'em up masters responsible for Duke Nukem, 3D Realms, as well as Remedy, and is an quite an innovator in stylistic action games. It was the one that introduced Bullet Time into games, many times described as stealing or ripping off... Read full review »

Pros graphics are amazing. long plot. lots of cutscenes movies. great music.
Cons can be a little to challenging at times. dreams are long and dull.
Recommended it? Yes

Once again I come before you to write a review on a Rockstar Games production, this one, unlike my first for GTA 3, is based on a game that is much more acceptable by my and many others thoughts.

This game is based around the life of N.Y.P.D. Detective Max Payne, who arrives home one... Read full review »

If Bruce Willis Had Hair...He'd Be Max Payne

Pros Addictive Gameplay, Bullet Time
Cons Frustrating Controls
Recommended it? Yes

Max Payne was a title that I didn't pick up right away; it struck me as a Grand-Theft-Auto-meets -Onimusha type of game, and I didn't give it much of a chance until it became a Greatest Hits title. All of the reviews for it were basically positive, so it seemed like it would be worth the 20 bucks... Read full review »

Max Payne is a great masterpiece that should be played by many!

Pros Graphics, Gameplay, story
Cons camera angles, can be frustrating
Recommended it? Yes

Max Payne is truly a unique game. Rockstar, maker of the famous Grand Theft Auto 3 and State of Emergency, has made a fine game. How this game unfolds, you?d think it was a movie. I think that NO game has been made like this. This game is special. John Woo can?t beat this game. This game MADE John... Read full review »

Pros fun, good graphics, bullet time
Cons cheesy story, long load times,lack of variety
Recommended it? Yes


"Nothing`s a cliche when it happens to you."
- Dialogue from Max Payne


I beg to differ. Max Payne is a game riddled with
cliches that happen to both Max, and to you, the player. This is a third person action game that, as enjoyable as it is, cannot quite overcome its... Read full review »

Max Payne: the Modern-day Charles Bronson

Pros The graphics, the Bullet Time feature, interactive environments, and the oh-so-many...
Cons ...but loading and cut scenes are by far too frequent.
Recommended it? Yes

Max Payne would have Keanu Reeves shaking in his leather chaps if they ever crossed paths.

Max Payne is one of Rockstar?s more infamous video game controversies (i.e. Grand Theft Auto 3 and State of Emergency). You story goes like this: you play as the rogue cop Max Payne, whose wife and... Read full review »

When I first heard about Max Payne 2 coming out all I could think was it is about time. I have been waiting for months for the second installment to come out for this saga that is Payne.

First of all I would like to say that I got this game for the Xbox so that is what I will be refering... Read full review »
