Right, I'm not going to bore you with the plot or other such aspects of the game that have been covered here. Instead, I'm going to say that if you haven't stumbled over this classic from the glory days of the PS2, then pick up a copy and strap yourself in for some gritty film noir fun. Max Payne aims to give you a film ...  Read the complete review

Max Payne is a now classic PS2 game that plays as a third-person shooter and is one of my favourite console games of all time. Recently made into a film starring Mark Walbherg to very mixed reviews, the game sees you playing the part of a cop who returns home to discover his wife and child brutally killed by junkies in what is essentially a ...  Read the complete review

Flashback to 2001, less than a year after the launch of the PlayStation2 and a crucial time in determining how successful Sony’s next-generation console may ultimately become. But Sony had a bit of a problem on their hands, and it lay in the shoot ‘em up genre. Blasters had for a long-time been a favourite amongst gamers, but despite solid ...  Read the complete review

I think it’s safe to say that Max Payne is one of the most atmospheric games I’ve ever played. Set in a cold, dark and rather grim world Max Payne employs a whole new approach to gaming. This isn’t just your average shooter, this is a game that you’ll never forget and that’s a guarantee. Max Payne is essentially story ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game yesterday, its great i spent all day on it!! If your a fan of John Woo and Chow yun fat then ‘Max Payne’ is for you. The story is of a usual format-’Your family gets killed, you get framed and now your on the run’ but instead of playing out the story as you go along, the whole game is past ...  Read the complete review

There’s a famous scene in When Harry Met Sally that goes something a bit like this: “Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh God, yes, yes, YES!” And that was exactly how I felt just a few short minutes into Max Payne on the PC. Only I wasn’t faking it. You see, though I’ve raved about such titles as Black & White and Severance: ...  Read the complete review

This is a port of the very sucessful PC game to the Playstation2. I never did play the original due to my PC running slower than a dead tortoise. So I came to the PS2 version without any of the baggage of people who had already played it. I had heard about the slow mo effects and the good storyline but that was all. What this game is is a solid ...  Read the complete review

Max Payne is, to put it simply, superb. The game revolves around a detailed storyline that gets you engrossed within the action of the game, so much so that you will find it difficult to put down because you will want to find out what the next twist in the plot is going to be. The producers of Max Payne have made it so that the difficulty ...  Read the complete review

Max Payne is a game with a very adult theme to it, arguably more adult than Grand Theft Auto 3 yet it is only rated 15. Max Payne was originally released on the PC where it was a massive hit and it is set to be a hit on the PS2 as well. Max Payne includes drugs, hookers, violence, gambling, and swearing, in short this is a strictly adult game. ...  Read the complete review

Max Payne has got to be one of the best shoot em up's ever. It was original released on the PC and was claimed as one of the best action games ever. Its main selling point was the 'bullet time' feature. With the single press of a button you can slow the game down. This slowed down your enemies and you, but you could aim in real time. ...  Read the complete review

I bought Max Payne for the pc as it looked a one of the kind, sort of game. So when i played i thought it was spectacular. The when i bought it for the ps2 it was a different story altogether. Being praised as one of the best PC games of the year, Max Payne is a new twist in the action genre that we've become o' so accustomed ...  Read the complete review

Max Payne.......... Boy have I heard alot about this game. I've been hearing all about it on p.c. so was excited to learn it was coming out on PS2. Now before buying the game I had reservations, so asking a few friends about left me in the same frame of mind so I thought. "What the hey" and bought it. ok abit of ...  Read the complete review

This game doesn`t sound like the type of shoot-em-up game you would expect, but when i checked it out it was better than what I thought. What catched my attention was the bullet time combo and slo motion features which makes it very similar to the movie, The Matrix. It was so similar to how a game based on The Matrix would be, that if I didn`t see ...  Read the complete review

Incredibly stylish third-person shooter. Plays like a Hollywood blockbuster on steroids - looks and sounds fantastic and is fun for a short while but at the end of the day it's the shallow, repetitive gameplay that prevents it from attaining greatness. Max Payne was the most hyped and delayed game since... well, since Black and ...  Read the complete review

Just when you thought you'd killed all the aliens and enemy soldiers and you could relax by the pool, you realise it's a pool of blood. Yep, if Soldier of Fortune was gory, Max Payne is bloody....good! I disagree with one opinion regarding the requirements of this game. One of my friends plays this game on an AMD K6-2 500MHz ...  Read the complete review
