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's wife and baby daughter were slain by junkies hopped up on adangerous new synthetic drug. For three years, Max has worked undercover to findthe source of these drugs, and, just when he's almost got it figured out,somebody ices his superior and pins the murder on him. Now it's payback time asMax faces off against the Mob, the police, and much, much worse. MaxPayne has jumped from the computer screen to the PlayStation2 and there'sgoing to be hell to pay.
Max Payne uses extremely realistic graphics to showcase a grittyfilm-noir-inspired New York City. Payne stalks subways, tenements, nightclubs,and even government installations as he takes his vengeance out on a horde ofgun-toting bad guys. Taking a page from the visual style of famed directorJohn Woo, as well as TheMatrix, Max Payne lets the player launch into a slow-motion modegenerally known as 'bullet time,' which makes dodging enemy fire and dishing outyour own return fire a breeze, all while leaping side to side. While this looksextremely cool to do, it also evens the odds and can only be used for limitedamounts of time, making it a strategic as well as aesthetic option.
And speaking of aesthetics, the game is packed with exciting moments, weapons,and locations, even if the enemies get a little redundant after a while. Thelevel design ranges from inspired (a multilevel parking garage) to humdrum (awarehouse) and several levels actually take place in the twisted wonderland ofthe hero's warped psyche. The introduction scenes consist of painted photospresented in graphic-novel style, which is a stylistic choice that paysdividends, even though the writing is hilariously bad and the voice acting is,if possible, even worse.
Needless to say, all this is violent, disturbing, and not at all for the kids.Pay attention to the Mature rating; it's not there for decoration. --BobAndrews
--This review refers to thePlayStation2 version of thegame.

Rating:  - A FANTASTIC ACTION TITLE9.25 OUT OF 10
Max Payne dishes out thrills like there's no tomorrow, and is definitely one of the original Xbox's finest action titles. It may be a third-person shooter, but that doesn't mean it isn't as cool as any other shooter.
WHAT THE GAME IS: You are Max Payne; a cop whose life has gone down the crapper because of the murders of his wife and baby, and now he's being accused of murder of a cop. So you must take out mafia and gang groups with a large arsenal weapons and descend into the New York underworld ... Read More
Rating: - Great game
This game was better on the PC, but the Xbox version was really fun as well.I loved the action sequences and the storyline is top-knotch.I did not care for the ending, and the part where you are drugged up and have to walk through the maze is a miserable experience to say the least.Other than those incidents, this game is incredible.Enemy AI is great, and the graphics are fantastic.You MUST experience the 'bullet-time' to appreciate this game in its fullest.
I highly recommend this ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome!Satisfies your New York Minute Cop Videogame addiction
Max Payne and its bullet time was the first game to allow the gamer to experience this innovative concept!What a breath of fresh air!I love the comic book picture storytelling and the linear story.Like reading a detective novel.Very interesting.
Rating: - Lacking in depth, but not in substance
The best thing Max Payne has going for it is a tremendously effective immediate atmosphere. From moment one, you feel like you're a part of this gritty, grimy, underground world. You're convinced that drippy, rusty pipes and dirty snow are the only constants in your own life, and all of that helps to make the central character, Max himself, much more understandable and sympathetic. All of the little things work together, from the graphics to the storytelling to the various ambient sounds to the characters ... Read More
Rating: - Fun!!!
This game is highly original and really fun. I'd have given it 5 stars but the beginning wasn't very fun and the sequences where you have to get through that maze and when you have to walk on that rope and follow the screams were pointless, tiring, frustrating and stupid. But besides that, it was awesome! The bullet time shooting and dodging is great. The guns rock as do the molotov cocktails! Once you play for around 1 hour, the game gets so frickin' fun!!! At the halfway point, when you're in the mansion, ... Read More
