 Great Game.... for PC, 2008-10-04
Max Payne is a great in every sense of the word. The engaging twisting storyline, and combat, the music, the graphics (for '01). Everything.
But the controls suck.
Never have I played a game with such bad controls that it made me depressed. Do NOT buy this for PS2. Buy it for PC.

I gotta get this out of the way right at the very beginning. I bought Max Payne because the box cover and pictures on the back reminded me of my own anti-hero detective John Dark. After I played the game, he still reminds me of my boy.
That said, I can now get on to the review.
If you like gritty, old-fashioned, hard-boiled detective novels or movies, the two-fisted kind that Mickey Spillane used to write, then you'll love Max Payne. This game is tough and as gritty as back-alley gravel.
It's got a hero that's out for revenge and down on his luck in a big way. This game has got all kinds of gunfights and fist-fights. It's extremely heavy on action. I also do want to say that Max Payne is a heavily adult game too. There's quite a few four letter words sprinkled throughout the dialogue and sexual behavior (I should say misbehavior) is the norm in Max Payne's world. To tell you the truth, I didn't mind that one bit.
The atmosphere during the entire game is classic noir. You'll feel as though you are living through an old time hard-boiled movie where no one can ever be trusted. The action takes place in rundown hotels, dirty rainy city streets and all kinds of places you normally avoid in the real world.
But this isn't the real world. This is a game so dive right on in with guns blazing.
The one thing that knocked a point off the score was that the controls were sometimes a bit too stiff and sometimes the animation was a little blocky. But even with those flaws this is a fully immersive video game that hard-boiled fans will love.
I highly recommend Max Payne. I had a blast playing it and so will anyone who likes good old-fashioned shoot-em-up detective stories.
 One of the Best Video Games EVER!!!, 2008-08-26
This a really awesome video game! It has the best plot, best action, best voices. Max Payne had the American Dream; friends, house, beautiful wife, baby daughter, but one night, all that is taken away! His wife and baby were murdered by junkies on a drug called Valkyr. After three years of being undercover, he finally has a lead on a dark night and NY is having the worst snow storm ever! Max is supposed to meet Alex Balder at Roscoe Street Station. When Alex is shot, Max is framed for murder. Max must avoid the police and the Mafia in order to survive the night and get the revenge he deserves! If you love action, you'll love MAX PAYNE!!!
p.s. I can't wait to see the movie!!!
One of the Best, 2008-04-19
A classic, an absolute classic. It's like playing within a Mickey Spillane novel: great action, great story, and great babes (well, I think there's one babe, but she's hot). A must-have for third-person shooter lovers.
