Summary: Great game, but not for kids by any means
Comment: I am not the biggest fan of 1st person shooter games. The only two games of this nature that have interested me has been Rainbow Six and Max Payne. With that being said, I must say Rainbow Six is a way up there in the ranking and Max Payne is by no means number 2.
The rating for this game needs to be taken extremely seriously. Although they show Max Payne (player) being holed up in an impossible situation (thus what he does can probably be viewed as ethical), he is required to get out of a violent battle between mafia groups and politicians. A lot of drug and sex reference in the game. Obviously, not a game for kids in my opinion.
The game is very much fun to play, the story is great and justice is served in the end, as is revealed at the beginning of Max Payne 2. This game will not work in Vista because of issues with drivers for sound cards that Vista does not have. Unless you get those drivers first, don't even think of getting this game. This game is currently not supported in 64-bit systems. So, watch out.

Summary: Frustrating At Times, But Still One Of The Best Games Out There!!
Comment: I bought this came for the computer when it came out in '91, just because it looked cool. It ran sluggish on my computer, so I gave up after a while. Then it came out for Playstation 2 and I was all over it!
So much has been written about this game that I'll just give my perspective on it.
The Good: The graphics are top-notch, especially for the time when it came out. Despite what others have said, the storyline, writing, and voice acting are superbly executed!! I love the graphic novel feel of the game, especially Max's dialogue. I love the new twists taken by an action game, really pulling you into each scene. Deaths are realistic, as well as the explosions that happen all over the place. Grenades come out of nowhere, bullets take you down quickly, and you can't fall too far without dying...which brings me to the bad parts of the game.
The Bad: The controls on the PS2 were shoddy at best. I found it EXTREMELY frustrating to manuever across the rooftops and during the dream sequence (I guarantee you'll die at LEAST 50x's during that part), and the aiming was frustratingly way off! In the early stages the health were in short supply, but the later stages I found crates of health (or pills) when I didn't really need it. Maybe I was just getting better at not dying. I don't know. But the more you die, chances are you'll have to watch cutscenes over and over again with no way to skip them (except for the graphic novel parts), but at least you don't have a certain number of lives; you just keep trying until you beat the level.
Despite these few points, the game is really fun to play. The release of the movie inspired me to play the game again, and NOT to go see the movie. I just don't see Marky Mark as Max Payne at all; he's too beefy, to much muscle. Max is slick, slender, almost boney. They should have used Same Lake, who was the writer of the game and also played Max in the graphic novel cutscenes. Or they could have used Dean Winters (Ryan O'Reilly) from Oz, or Peter Krause (Nate) from Six Feet Under. I MIGHT rent it when it comes out, but that's it.

Summary: Great Game.... for PC
Comment: 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.
