Max Payne

General/Summary: I bought this game off an on-line auction last summer for $20.00. I played it off and on for a number of months and finally completed it this month. As a veteran gamer from back in the Pac Man era, I can honestly state this is a great game. Sure, it may have flaws here and there but the game play is solid and involving. The story is reminiscent of the gritty crime novels I have found littered about various waiting rooms I have visited. The character is the epitome of the 1970's movie era rogue cop and the villains remind me of stereotypical mob characters, crooked police officers and corrupt governmental officials with a dash of the occult thrown in. Talk about having your hands full, Mad Max Payne certainly had his work/justice cut out for him. Some have argued this game is too short. Maybe it was because I played the game over a seven-month period but it really seamed long to me. From sewers to nightclubs, crack-houses to mansions, shipyards to high-rises; Max was...

THE GOOD:
The graphics are so much better than the
PS-2 version, especially in Bullet Time.

THE BAD:
The only bad thing about the game that I found, was that like everything else, it came to an end. A never ending game would be the only way to improve this game!

SUMMARY:
Just like the Matrix that made bullet-time famous for the movies, Max Payne made it great once again for the video game industry. Extreamly awsome game. When it first came out on the PS-2, I just had to get it. I played through it, and beat it. Now that it is out on the X-Box, I had to get it on that platform as well, and all that I have to say is..MUCH better!!! Good job guys, and keep up the good work!!

THE GOOD:
oh my how good game! Much maps to play, bullet time, and nice sniper.

THE BAD:
Grenades are buggy sometimes. No net game!

SUMMARY:
Good game with much maps and weapons. 4 difficult levels. Nice graphics and good sounds.
Grenades are little buggy sometimes.
Bullet time is just great! No net game! This game would be much better if it have net game! Well, its good anyway and again one game that i recommend!

THE GOOD:
Great interactivity with everything, bullet time, good variety of guns.

THE BAD:
Graphics are nothing to shout about and look a little out-dated.

SUMMARY:
Max Payne is a brilliant and fun game toplay. It has a feature called "bullet time" that slows everything down but allows you to aim in real time which comes in handy when your fighting some enemies.

There are a good variety of weapons, including a baseball bat, hand guns, shotguns, grenades and machine guns and more.

The graphics aren't all that special, they are a little poor compared to games now, but they are still fairly good and the game offers a good deal of interactivity with bullet holes appearing in anything that gets shot at.

Great game, and can be very challenging. Well worth your money as it's a game that can be played voer and over again.

THE GOOD:
Comic Book Story line approach, graphics, controls, and weapons lots of cool weapons.

THE BAD:
Max Payne only moves at one speed, after playing Spliter Cell, it was hard to get used to not being able to crouch and sneak up on people.

SUMMARY:
This is a great first effort for the XBOX, the story line is very cool and the comic book approach is an interesting way to tell it. I just bought the game last week as I thought it would be interesting to play one of the early games put out for the XBOX. The graphics in this game are very good for an early XBOX game, the sound on the other hand could have been better. What I really liked where the controls, you have the ability to customize everything to your own abilities. The game could have been longer, I finished it while watching all the animation in about 10 hours the first time through. Once you finish the game, you unlock new harder levels of game...

THE GOOD:
This game has great Graphics, nice charecters, and interesting story line, and that non stop thrill that you get every time you complete sometyhing.

THE BAD:
Really the only thing about this game that isn't great, in my opinion, is that it is very short. Really, thats it.

SUMMARY:
This game has everything. The graphics, the story, the gameplay that makes you not want to stop playing the game, and the story climax that all leads up to the final test. The charecter concept is done very well in this game, although animating the textures would have made an improvement. When you shoot someone, sure, blood splaters all over the walls/floor around them, but somehow it never seems to get on themselfs. That is no big issue though, as the rest of the game makes up for that. The gameplay for Max Payne is really awsome. Amazing slomo dives, realistic explosions, and weapons that all serve intirely different needs....

THE GOOD:
This game takes Graphics, and the realism of the Matrix into your Xbox...

THE BAD:
The game could have been fixed before coming out on the xbox....

SUMMARY:
This game is one of the few i would say that Rocks....
It is packed with action, weapons, and best of all special effects Known as bullet time which seem from the games angle view they rock.
I would recommend this game, to anyone who has a hunger for first person shoters and Sci-fy people...

Max Payne uses extremely realistic graphics to showcase a gritty film-noir-inspired New York City. Payne stalks subways, tenements, nightclubs, and even government installations as he takes his vengeance out on a horde of gun-toting bad guys. Taking a page from the visual style of famed director John Woo, as well as The Matrix, Max Payne lets the player launch into a slow-motion mode generally known as "bullet time," which makes dodging enemy fire and dishing out your own return fire a breeze, all while leaping side to side. While this looks extremely cool to do, it also evens the odds and can only be used for limited amounts of time, making it a strategic as well as aesthetic option.



And speaking of aesthetics, the game is packed with exciting moments, weapons, and locations, even if the enemies get a little redundant after a while. The level design ranges from inspired (a multilevel parking garage) to humdrum (a warehouse) and several levels actually take...

THE GOOD:
perfect gameplay, good character detail

THE BAD:
jaggy people

SUMMARY:
Max Payne is addictive and good for letting your anger out. I recomend this to people who like Goldeneye or Dyhard.
Good feature:
"Bullet Time" slows down gameplay so you can dodge bullets.

THE GOOD:
The good, this is a no brainer. This game was very good. It had a bullet time mode on it so if you hit the left trigger button on your controller you could slow time down to look like the MATRIX!! And it also helps you dodge bullets. The story line was very good because like it brought out sarcasm, humor, action, horror, and even some suspense here and there. I never really got frustrated with this game only at the last part i had to look at the walkthrough because i didnt know what to do after about 6 hours of playing. Also, you can save in the middle of doing something, there are no savepoints but you can save newhere youw atn and that really helps you get through the game The game is even still fun in the harder modes after you beat it the first time on normal(i cant remember what they called normal)

THE BAD:
There werent really ne movies...
