Amazon.com Review:
Max Payne, the New York police detective, has had a bad time of itrecently, and it's time for payback. Three years ago, junkies high on amysterious new narcotic called Valkyr slaughtered his wife and child. Thetragedy drives him on a prolonged path of vengeance. It turns him from adetective looking for easy work to a deep undercover vice cop infiltrating theMob to a hardened vigilante. Max Payne is a film-noir-inspired gameabout revenge that is unflinching in every way possible. It's dark and moody,extremely twisted, and turns PC action gaming on its ear by featuringstate-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 calledBullet Time: a slow-motion toggle, usable for a limited time, that re-createsthe awe-inspiring diving maneuvers made popular by director John Woo and, ofcourse, The Matrix. At the touch of a button, Max can go into slow motionand leap forwards or back, and side to side, while pumping generous amounts oflead into his enemy's bodies. This toggle isn't just eye candy, it's a strategicdevice that evens the sometimes staggering odds the game throws at you. Theaction is made even more visceral by the interactive environments (glassshatters, plaster puffs into dust, and wood splinters) and generous amounts ofblood.
The game carries a Mature label, and this should be taken very seriously. Thegame doesn't pull a single punch, whether in flashbacks showing Max's reactionto his gunned-down spouse, or even, somewhat tastelessly, flashbacks thatinclude his slain infant daughter. And he mows down a virtual army of hackneyedJoe Pesci-style Italian mobsters or ski-mask-wearing terrorists with extremeprejudice. The plot is predictable, the script is humorously bad (intentionallyso?), but the action will definitely make a shooter fan drool. Max Payneis the übershooter, and as such, it should be kept out of the hands ofkids. 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 cometo life
Cons: - It's a little on the short side
- The script is, at times, hilariously bad

Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Fun but predictable
This game is very fun, gameplay is relatively unique due to the needed use of Bullet Time where time slows down for a few seconds. Graphics are great on a stock 20 inch Imac ans sound is also great. The biggest flaw in the game is that there is no puzzle element during the actual game. There is only one open door where there is a posability to go else where. So wherever a door can be opend is the way to go. Also enemies become very predictable after the majority of the game which makes replays pointless. ... Read More
Rating: - Max Brings The Payne
Max Payne is one amazing game.You play as Max Payne, a everyday person who walks home one day to find his wife murdered...because of this he goes undercover and thats where the story begins...the story is filled with action and adventure and it keeps rolling out, never getting "slow".The graphics are great and "bullet time", a matrix type gameplay, is very cool...everything slows down and you can dodge bullets easier.Although there is no online option, Max Payne still has a very good story line and ...

Rating: - a shooter (third person) par excellence
normally, shooters dont do much for me unless combined with some other quality such as stealth, role playing, or puzzles, specifically nolf, deus ex, and tomb raiders. i dont have the reflexes or hand eye coordination of a teenager, and i cant do unreal tournament etc, even the training. max pain, though is a real winner with excellent visuals and a convincing, though improbable story (one man wipes out the entire illegal drug industry, from street junkies all the way to the head of the corporation that makes ...

Rating: - fun fun fun
will not disappoint. I wish there was a difficulty setting to make it harder, but I enjoyed every minute and got totally immersed in the game play. well done.
Rating: - Heck Yeah!
Even though I have the PC version of Max Payne, this game rocks! if there are any Mac Users reading this, and they do not have Max Payne yet, why not? go get it! The game came out in 2001, and I am still hooked! I have not played any other games that can top this. I can't wait for the sequel, which is suppose to be out sometime at the end of this year. Don't know if they are making it for Mac users. Oh one last thing, A word to parents-if you are worried about this game being too violent for your son/daughter, ... Read More
