Product ReviewsMax Payne (Microsoft Xbox, 2001)

it works

Three years ago a young NYPD cop, Max Payne, came home one night to find his family senselessly slaughtered by a gang of drug-crazed junkies high on a previously unknown synthetic drug. Now that same drug, Valkyr, has spread through the whole New York City like a nightmare plague, and Max Payne's on a crusade for revenge, out to get even. The drug hit the city like a bad dream, turning it into a hell on earth. More corpses lie in the streets than there are demons in the real thing, and hordes of Valkyr-head junkies are on an insane killing spree, their eyes burning with mad green fire. To the Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, this new drug was evil incarnate, to be stopped at any cost. They placed an undercover agent into the ranks of a NY Mafia family that appears to be behind the distribution of the drug. Desperate times call for desperate measures.Read full review...

The original noir TPS and a must for any fan of the series.

The game itself is a third-person shooter that recounts a dark and dirty flashback of undercover DEA agent Max Payne. And when I say dark, I mean pitch black. It's so gritty it almost made me sick at times -- but I mean that in a good way. The story is so well told and so involved that it's like you're playing a John Woo action film on your computer -- something the folks at Remedy have no qualms about admitting since they scattered Woo references throughout the game. Within the first 20 minutes of the game, your wife, baby, and boss are dead. Seeing as how you don't have much left to live for, you go after the Mafia drug syndicate where you've been working as an undercover mole, exacting justice on the people you think are responsible for your family and friend's deaths. - IGNRead full review...

Max Payne: Gritty Bullet-time Master

Classic gameplay. Great use of the bullet-time feature and an interesting noir detective story.

5 stars because I’m not bothered

But they sent a platinum hits version when the picture isn’t maybe I missed something but like I said I don’t mind just giving a heads up to other people because I know some people be weird about the platinum hits cases. I’ve been waiting years to play this game so I’m glad to finally play it thanks! Read full review...

Good game

I find Max Payne to be a good game; the concept is cool, game-play is unique and the length of the game is better than some others. Graphics could have been better compared to other similar games that were released around the same time frame.

Pros:

Game length, plenty of levels
Choice of weapons
Slow motion ability
Story/concept
Excitement factor
Quick saves

Cons:

Load time and frequency

Great Action, Amazing Story.

This game is Amazing. From the start of the game to the end of the game you will be on the edge of your seat. The action with all the special features such as "Bullet Time" work Great and are very neat. Game has an amazing story that will make you want to keep playing to the end, and the gameplay all the way to the end Never gets old. In fact you will probably find yourself going back and replaying this game over and over again.

5/5 ExcellentRead full review...

Max Payne is one of the best games made

Older so graphics aren’t the greatest but the controls and story are amazing. Max Payne 2 is also great.
