I'm thinking of buying Max Payne 1 and 2 for 15 dollars..

My questions are whether its worth playing still and if the price is a good one.

Don't think, just buy and witness the quality that is the Max Payne series. Oh, if only a third was in the works. If the movie succeeds though, that just might happen.

You'll get an almost universally positive reaction from the guys here, I can assure you of that. You should definitely buy it.

To put its age in perspective, I just asked a friend who didn't play Max Payne until just a few months ago to sum up his experience:

[02:52:40] me: can you give me like a sentence
[02:52:44] me: summing up your thoughts
[02:52:45] me: and experience
[02:52:47] me: with the game
[02:54:02] him: um
[02:54:30] him: fun neat, unique story. good graphics
[02:54:39] him: some frustrating parts
[02:54:56] him: and repetitive gunplay
[02:54:58] him: with slowmo
[02:55:13] me: is that everything you have to say?
[02:55:22] him: yeah

Max Payine one my favs ever... MP1 audio does not work in Vista if thats an issue. It can be fixed though, by converting all the audio. I was gonna try it but my disk went missing. :(

The Time you Wasted Asking us to Buy it, you could of already been playing.

Either one of the Games is worth $15 alone, but for both it's a steal.

No, the valkries aren't seen in the game, only referenced.

I recently replayed the first game, and it really does hold up after all this time, still a great game.

They definitely aren't worth your time. They are extremely old games, which causes them to feel really dated. The stories in the games are atrocious and laughable at best. Max himself is a pansy who couldn't even find his way out of a closet.

Now, just ignore what I just said and go straight out to buy the games and play them start to finish. Easily some of the best narrative and action to grace video games in the history of the entire hobby. Why you even needed to ask is beyond me.

Some of the best games ever. Especially the second.

They've aged well so you'd be crazy to not get them.

However if you have Vista you're in trouble with MP1. A lot of sound is missing when played.

if your looking for a good story (depressing though) then get it.

if you want to get it for the slo mo and action, get stranglehold instead. the gameplay is miles better and anyone who tells you otherwise is is lying, there is no denying the fact that there is a lot more to it and while its repetitive the same is true of max payne but worse.

overall though, definitely get it, its a cracking game.
