    The PS2 might sell more, but its limitations hurt this version of Max Payne.

    While the PS2 version is not really bad, it is horrible next to the near perfect versions on the Xbox and PC. The PS2's sound and music to Max Payne is uneven and really scatchy when the narrative scenes are on. The game... Read Full Review

    Max Payne is one of the best shooting games ever.

    The graphics are great and very moody and dark. Blood on the walls and things like that makes this game very dark and scary. The sounds are great too and features a great theme melody. The sound effects are good a... Read Full Review

    Max Payne perfectly captures the essence of being an action hero.

    This is how you make a 3rd person shooter

    I'm usually not a fan of 3rd person shooters or action games. I camera always drives me nuts since it usually keeps you from seeing what is in front of you. Plus, 3rd person shooters just aren't as immersive as FPS gam... Read Full Review

    Wonderful

    This game is great. The story is wonderful, and while is a little cliche all the twists and turns make it a great thrill ride. Pretty much, a cop gets his family killed by some junkies. A few years later, when his best f... Read Full Review
