Summary: Quality VS. quantity
Review: I promised myself I wouldn't review Max Payne. I mean, everything to say has already been said in the countless reviews spread across the internet. Instead, I'll focus just on what, in my opinion, are the good and bad points.

------------------------------------------------------------

The Good:

-Fast-paced and stylish. If you are a fan of Tarantino(-esque) gangster movies (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Desperado) you will enjoy Max Payne.
-The best weapon sounds of any game. Crisp and realistic.
-The graphics, obviously. Sharp textures, great character models, stunning particle effects. An amazing engine that looks great even when scaled to the minimum quality.
-Fun. Simple, no-brainer fun.
-The nightmare sequences. I loved these. Hopefully the sequel will have more.

------------------------------------------------------------

The Bad:

-Yes, it is very short. I believe I finished in just under 8 hours. But with many good mods already out--and more on the way--the game is well worth the price.
-Bad plot, cheesey graphic novel (especially the later ones), tolerable voice acting. It's fun like a B-movie, though at times takes itself a way too seriously.
-Linear in a bad way. No dead-end hallways or rooms; only the doors you need to get through are unlocked. Seriously kills any suspension of disbelief, but with a story this bad there never was any anyway.
-No puzzles. I know it's an action game, but I'd have liked something a little more challenging than pushing two levers.

------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusions: Flawed but fun. Gimmicks and style can, at times, make up for gameplay. Let's just hope MP2 corrects on the bad and builds on the good.

Just like the game, there is my review: extremely short, badly written and to the point. Hurrah.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Game
Review: Max Payne is a great game. Extremely cinematic. The guns are very fun and the Bullet Time is revolutionary. At times the plot may be a little unbelievable but still very, very exciting. One of the reasons I like Max best is because of it's very cinematic. I highly recomend this game to anyone who loves action movies and games.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This is an amazing game, really. I'll tell you the full story and options you have in this game.
Three years ago his wife and baby girl died, because of some men that broke into the house. Max Payne has killed them, though he wants revenge for this happening. Finally, three years later, he gets a lead on the case. He follows this lead with bosses and a lot of guys to shoot ahead, using bullet time that is like Matrix-Style Slow-Motion that is easier to use then the fast-paced real life that happens all round him. He firsts gets a case in the subway, he finds out that his partner is died, and the big guy blamed it on him and so here on out, cops are on his tail. Well, though here to the lasts missions he is just trying to get though the bosses that lie ahead, each boss defeated getting him one step farther. There are over 25 levels, each long and painful to Max Payne, but that's what happens when you're trying to beat the case of V. I should tell you that there is two "wacky levels" that is kind of confusing, there called, "Prologues" which the first time, Max Payne gets shot up and gets a nightmare. You actually have to beat the nightmare. The second time the bad guys OD him on a drug known as V. It's a lot more confusing and hard in the second one, bad after the second one it's good and clear though here on out. Well, I'm not going to spoil it for you, but he learns out everything and gets the real bad woman that is with all of this. Scale time.
Graphics: Great, awesome, with smiles! :D 10/10
Fun: There is some slow parts here, but most is fun. 9/10
Gameplay: It took me 30 hours WITH cheats 10/10
Sound: Awesome, it makes sound for even the panels! 9/10
Overall: Well, not perfect but Max Payne 2 will probably be twice as good! 9.5/10

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Max Payne is full blast
Review: This has to be the best game ever. This is only lesser to Soldier of Fortune, Gta3 and Halo. The pc version doesn't have limb cutting unlike the Xbox version. The gangsters are realistic. The enemy A.I is realistic. Slow-mo is damn cool. My favourite weapon(s) is the Jackhammer Shotgun or twin uzi. Gta3 is the best game ever but Max Payne is good competion for it. Max Payne is a vey good attempt at the perfect action game but needs for weapons and cars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cure for the common FPS
Review: I've grown tired of first-person shooters. You run around, kill things, get a bigger gun, and kill things some more. Max Payne doesn't let you get away with that. Yes, you run and around and kill things, but this game runs deeper.

The story is quite intriguing and gives the player some narrative reason to keep playing. The story is narrated and presented in the form of stills from a graphic novel--very nice.

The voice acting is superb and the sounds are accurate and subtle. Having a good 4.1 or better speaker system is a must.

The graphics are gorgeous and graphic. The faces of the characters are very realistic and expressive.

Bullet time: This may be the game's crowning feature. Think The Matrix, where Neo dodges a few bullets. You can do this on a regular basis in Max Payne.

If you want a game with stellar graphics, an intelligent and nicely developed story, great sound, and you want to kill things, Max Payne is for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Excellent Graphics and good story plot its the ultimate shoot em up! This game make other 1st person shooting games amatuerish by comparison.
The weaponry is realistic and I have to say that even the subway graphics and the look of the NYC storefronts is totally authentic. (I thought I was back in Flushing, Queens!)
The Joe Pesci criminal types are perfect. I haven't finished the game yet and I'm trying to savor the fun. Definitely worth the money...ENJOY!
