The game is pretty cool. The story is great, keeping thing moving and having you want to see what happens next. Pretty good graphics, although they are grainy. The controls suck. I played the whole game through and was never able to work them smoothly and control customizations are very limited. I found myself switching between configurations for different situations.
I did start to get tired with it about 3/4 of the way through and was ready for it to end, but the story kept me coming back. If you are content just shooting people then this may be for you. But there are virtually no puzzles and the game is extremely linear. You go from point A to point B and never have really have to find your way. Great story, some fun and no brains needed.

I really, really wanted to like this game (especially with it's new price tag), but often found myself facing a sense of deja vu level after level after level. All the characters looked pretty much alike (aside from the the ones wearing skirts) and all I seemed to do was shoot (no puzzles to solve here as the game plows forward as you kill off bad guys). Max Payne is a pretty straight-forward shoot-em-up game that only offers the unique "Bullet Time" to enhance game play (which I often just found to be too distracting to ever use). Filled with a good amount of violence and a decent story line and some okay graphics, Max Payne wasn't a complete waste as it offer a few twists while you discover who has framed Max for a serious of brutal murders. However, the ending was a little lack-luster and made me wonder if they'd ever produce a sequel (considering that the game has been around for a few years for the PC).

I highly suggest a rental, or borrow it first.

Max Payne was one of my favorite games last year, but now the thrills of the game just didn't last that long.
Pros:
Nice aresonel of weapons
Bullet time really helps
A port of a superb PC game
Go through a good story full or twists
Fun while it lasts
Cons:
Long loading times
graphics not as good as Xbox or PCs version
after beating it, there's little thrills to play it again
No extras
can't skip boring movies
No shadows at all
The game gets repetitive as well
Killin level after level sure gets boring
If you brought it, sooner or later you're gonna wish u rented it
The voice acting is ugly, and horable

The game was addictive at first, and I ended up trading state of emergency, one of the wackest games ever 4 dis. Well this is better than it, but the loading times are what [make me mad] the most, cuz when I die, I have to sit throught the loading times again and again. Like I said, rent or borrow B4 u buy.

The Payne to the Max

All I have to say is this game is the funnest game I have ever played. I just got it last weekend for my birthday along with 4 other games and Max Payne is the ONLY game I've played since. The bullet time is the best part. I mean who can resist a shoot 'em up game where you dive into a room full of guys with machine guns in slow motion. Overall a great game.

Cool Game

This game is awesome. The slow motion rocks. Great graphics 2. This game has everything you could ask for. The first level is pretty freaky though. Trust me. This game is awesome.

Graphics for the game were awesome and the storyline was great but the game didn't take very long to finish, it only has three chapters to the game and that is why it was traded as soon as I finished it, I was very disappointed with the end too! Save your money and just rent it!!!!!

MAXED out...

This is a good action game. It has a great storyline and something called bullet time to kill your enemys in slow motion. Almost anything you shoot has a reaction. When people shooot at you their face even changes. This is also a very hard game to beat. The only reason I gave this game four stars is every time your getting into the game they go to some pain in the [neck] load screen. The voice acting is also very bad, at times it is laughable. But that is no reason not to buy this game.
