Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Max Payne is the game where your life has fallen apart in a New York minute, and you have to get revenge before you can move on.

Amazon.com Review:
Max Payne, the New York police detective, has had a bad time of it recently, and it's time for payback. Three years ago, junkies high on a mysterious new narcotic called Valkyr slaughtered his wife and child. The tragedy drives him on a prolonged path of vengeance. It turns him from a detective looking for easy work to a deep undercover vice cop infiltrating the Mob to a hardened vigilante. Max Payne is a film-noir-inspired game about revenge that is unflinching in every way possible. It's dark and moody, extremely twisted, and turns PC action gaming on its ear by featuring state-of-the-art graphics, audio, and cinematic action.

Aside from its inspired use of photorealistic graphics and unique graphic novel (comic book) panels to further the plot, the game also features something called Bullet Time: a slow-motion toggle, usable for a limited time, that re-creates the awe-inspiring diving maneuvers made popular by director John Woo and, of course, The Matrix. At the touch of a button, Max can go into slow motion and leap forwards or back, and side to side, while pumping generous amounts of lead into his enemy's bodies. This toggle isn't just eye candy, it's a strategic device that evens the sometimes staggering odds the game throws at you. The action is made even more visceral by the interactive environments (glass shatters, plaster puffs into dust, and wood splinters) and generous amounts of blood.

The game carries a Mature label, and this should be taken very seriously. The game doesn't pull a single punch, whether in flashbacks showing Max's reaction to his gunned-down spouse, or even, somewhat tastelessly, flashbacks that include his slain infant daughter. And he mows down a virtual army of hackneyed Joe Pesci-style Italian mobsters or ski-mask-wearing terrorists with extreme prejudice. The plot is predictable, the script is humorously bad (intentionally so?), but the action will definitely make a shooter fan drool. Max Payne is the übershooter, and as such, it should be kept out of the hands of kids. But mature action fans will love it. --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

Fantastic graphics and unparalleled action
The slow-motion Bullet Time is The Matrix or Hard Boiled come to life

Cons:

It's a little on the short side
The script is, at times, hilariously bad

Amazon.com Product Description:
Remedy and 3D Realms present Max Payne, a story-driven 3rd person action game aimed for a mature audience. Realistic weapon setup includes over a dozen real-life guns, all fitting the crime-story setting like a bullet in the head. The action is surrounded with more than 80 hand-painted comic-screens that enhance the game's gritty atmosphere and attitude, introduce the game's murderous cast of characters, and carry the plot from one location to the next.

- Gritty aesthetics don't completely hide the straightforward gameplay
Max Payne got immense praise when it was first released; PC gamer gave it a whopping 95%.Perhaps at the time it was easy to hail it's features. Many graphic features were excellent for the time. The graphic novel cutscenes. And (of course) the bullet time feature.

Looking back at it though I think that 95% is surely too generous a score. It has some serious flaws to gameplay. Firstly the structure is almost entirely linear (In fact as far
as I know it is entirely linear but I've ... Read More

- biggest shame of the gaming industry ever.
this game came out half a decade ago. reviews on it stopped shortly afterwords. but to this day, i get enraged when i think about my awful experience in this game. coming to this review out of mild curiosity, and seeing the fossilized brainless fanboy droolings from 6 years ago in it, is the last straw.

in the name of the forces of light (and my seething resentment), i am digging up this games festering corpse, in order to properly ***** **** it into hell, where it belongs.

- Why you should by Max Payne
Max Payne is a truly glorious game. The other reviews have what i want to say except this. He is always constipated. Just look at his face in those screen shots. CONSTIPATION. In number 2 he's got rid of that though. Anyway, stop reading reviews and buy it!

- Should have finished it and released it in 1999
Back when the game was started and developed, it was technologically way ahead of its time. Too bad that by the time it came out, other games with game engines like Max Payne's or even better were already out and dampened the already losing popularity. On top of it, the story finishes in a New York Minute so darn fast and then the interest in giving it another play is all sapped out. Would have been better if the story had been more dynamic rather than linear ! And don't count on the sequel to be any ... Read More

- Started out ok and did get some traction but when the game's over, so is the fun
I didn't find myself coming back to the game as it got more boring after the first time. The tougher levels were not all that difficult either so I don't regret having bought a cheap and used copy and will be happy to sell mine and put this crap behind. Overall, the game's not worth the money and neither is the sequel. Don't let the liars and hypers mislead you on how really great either of the Max Paynes are. Get it cheap and used and see for yourself.
