Max Payne - PlayStation 2

Oh. My. God.Max Payne is one of the best game I have played in years.It's full of surprises, has this amazingly elegant combat engine, darkly funny film noir attitude and gorgeous Bullet Time mode. Great writing and voice talent kept me watching the segue film, or rather, comic book clips, for the sheer entertainment value -- I was actually almost shocked at how sophisticated and clever some of the writing was. I 'm not used to this in a video game. And what a blessed relief to play a game with an adult story line and a no-apologies somber 'Silent Hill' back story. I really dug the Max Payne character, he's fleshed out, he's vital and worth spending your time with. This could be a movie easy.I have played alot of these Action games, it's my genre of choice, and MP is cream of the crop, top of the tops. I rank this game right up there with Metal Gear 2. And I have to admit, since getting Max Payne, Metal Gear 2, as much as I love it, has been sitting idle.I cannot recommend this game enough. I'd give it ten stars if I could. Max Enjoyment!

I heard this game was a classic, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I got it for 1 cent in great condition from Amazon. In 2011, this game is still challenging. The controls took some time to get familiar with. The weapons menu is very easy to get used to as well. There is action right from the start in this game. There are some really harcore shootouts where you think that you just have no chance of surviving. The enemy AI is pretty balanced. Some of them will walk into some of your gunfire, but they work together with the better enemy AI to set you up for failure. You have to be really smart on how you choose to use your weapons. There are PLENTY of weapons in this game to get the job done. I enjoyed the storyline in this game. There are some levels that are so hard & frustrating that you may or will turn the game off. You really feel like you accomplished something when you complete this game. You really feel like you were apart of a really good movie. The reviews scare me for Max Payne 2. I may try it though since I can get it super cheap. I am definitley going to get Max Payne 3 for the Xbox 360 when it comes out!

i received it at time but it'i not the thing i bought who suppose to arrive 28 december and magical it's not arrive yet.

No way anyone ever even checked this game is heavily pitted and scratches everywhere can't even get past the loading screen at the beginning of a disc. Will be returning

This was a fun video game...Played this a long time.

This is an iconic game, still retaining a solid game play value 20 years later. I received my copy in excellent condition, and I am satisfied with the experience.

Max Payne is a rare combination of nonstop bullet flying action tied with an intensely deep and emotional storyline. Max is a detective investigating the murder or his wife and daughter dragged deep down into a new designer drug world. The story runs deep with emotion while the lead continues to spray. I loved playing this game when it first came out and just recently bought it again so I could have a second go at it.

What I loved about this game is the background designs and layouts. Thie is game is fun and interesting, I loved how it tells the story aout max payne's family, it's like the 2008 movie of max payne. What I really love about this game is when I kill a bad guy they just remain thier and they don't disapear like some of the other games. The sound effects are good and a real time action/adventure game, its like playing the james bond games, I havn't play the james bond games, I think the games are tougher for me. At first when my sister was watching what I was playing she asked me 'is that silent hill your playing?'
