this brings me back to the good old ps2 games. the great storyline, great slow motion gameplay, great weapons and great character. i cant wait till part 3 comes out.

Max Payne has to be one of my favorite games in my collection. A sad but interesting story that will make you play until the game is over. This is the first shooting game ever with slow motion and what really kinda annoys me is many other games have copied that, such as Rise to Honor but Rise to Honor was a great game but this review is about Max Payne. So besides the akward graphics this is one great game!

Max Payne put's a new spin on an old style of game's. This game has a fresh feel to it that will keep you returning for more, and story to go with it as well. I will start there the story of Max Payne is a great old fashion good cop gone bad revenge story. There are so many unexpected twist's, and just when you think it's going to end they hit you with somthing else. The story also unfold's to you in a stylish Noir Comic fashion keeping the dark tone in this game nicly. The grafix in this game are great, expecially nice detail when you enter into bullet time, which give's you the ability to kind of slow down time so you have a better chance to dodge bullet's. The control's are easy to learn and master, and smooth as well making for some fun less frustrating gameplay and an overall more enjoyable experience. The audio in this game is also done exceptionally well, from the character's voice's, to the OST. Though there isn't much of an OST the game rely's a lot more on natural surrounding's in the game to fill in the background space. And that help's pull you into the dark scenerio Max is in. The bullet time that I mention earlier is where all this started in videogaming now being copied by numberous game's just with the name changed. It is a refreshing and fun feature to use. Just talking about this game make's me want to go play and beat it again. If this game intreague's you or you are a fan of action video game's this game is definatly for you. If you are not into though's style of game's you might just find yourself enjoying it as well. Overall a great buy for everyone.

Max Payne is pretty much a shoot-em-up. But the story is dark and violent and gripping, the only thing that really makes this game more than just a shoot-em-up. Worth a rental.

Great story line where your trying to clear your name and find your families killers. Bullettime was awesome as you slow down time in order to avoid bullets and to shot enemies with ease. Controls were easy to manage and the game itself wasnt too difficult.

Well I was hoping for some improvement in MP2. Max doesn't look as good as he used to and his coat looks more like a cape. The levels and gameplay add nothing new to the series. There is some better graphics but they didn't try too hard. This is Max 1.5 at best. The bullet time is still cool but they need to make some improvements. Lets hope if they make MP3 they put more effort into it.

In max payne you play a man named max payne (Probably would have guessed that) who comes home and finds his house broked in and his wife and his baby girl dead. Your goal is to find out who is behind the murders and the drug valkyr. What you do in this is shoot mafia gangsters and this game couldn't have better action. One the bullet time is off the hook it takes you into extreme slow motion. Another great thing is the narrator and the background music makes a very suspensful motivation for the game. Not only that but if you want this game to be really hard then try to unlock New York minute where you are sorta under a time limit. The graphics to this game are a little cheesy but the plot is very well put together and has some suspensful twists to it that will leave you amazed.

WHOA! this game is freakin' awesome. so what if sometimes the framework slows down because there's too much going on. no game is perfect. this game is really close too it. if you get tired of dying on the same level again and again and again, just use codes. it's still fun. don't use level select. i can play this game on all its modes, although you may need codes on Dead On Arrival and New York Minute mode. this game is just....just...i can't tell you how fantastic this game is. Rockstar should get publisher of the year. let me list all the great things about this game: 1. the story is dark, gloomy, twisted. 2. the action is FAST-paced and challenging. 3. in fugitive mode, enemies adjust their difficulties to how well you're doing. 4. the controls are a little too sensitive, but in most situations, it helps. 5. the dreams are demented and insane. 6. i love the graphic novels (who needs cinematic sequences). 7. bullet time is superb and very, very helpful. 8.after killing enemies, you can't help but love it when they do a matrix- like camera spin. 9.i think the graphics are great on the PS2. 10. you have so many weapons, so many foes to use them on. 11. this game is pretty long, but it explains the whole enchilada. 12. jumping off skyscrapers and watching Max Payne fall all the way down screaming and hitting the ground is pretty exciting. 13. i just love the theme music. 14. you may think the story is finished, but trust me, it's not. 15. Rockstar came up with this genius work.

Not only do I think that Max Payne is one of the best video games for the PS2, I also think that it's one of the best games ever!

WITH A LOT OF LEVELS, ENEMIES, WEIRD STORY MAX PAYNE COULD BE COUNTED AS ROCKSTAR'S SECOND OR THIRD BEST GAME ( GTA 3 IS BETTER) ALSO REMEBER TO GET THE CHEATS FROM THIS VERY WEBSITE FOR THE UNLIMITED BULLET TIME FOR MOST FUN. IT'S PAYNE NOT TO PLAY THIS GAME.
