Retro Review: MAX PAYNE

Hello Fellow Payners,

I picked this game up because I loved the second one so much that I wanted to knock the first one out! I really enjoyed playing this game and can really see how it was really first of its kind. I think that even with the graphics not up to today standards it is still really enjoyable and you owe it to yourself to play it yourself! I picked it up at CompUsa for $5.00 and roughly was 7-8 hour long game. That is what I call a deal!! In my review of Max Payne 2 I asked the question "is Alan Wake the new Payne?" and the answer is no! Max Payne 3 is in the works and I will pick that baby up as soon as it comes out:)

Pros
1. Story is excellent and keeps you in the game
2. I love the soundtrack of the game
3. Just like Payne 2 the passion comes off well from the developers
4. Bullet time was fun even back then
5. I loved the occult crazy guy in the game
6. Graphics are still ok for today standards
7. Remedy did a really nice job on this game!!
8. THE GAME IS $5.00 PICK IT UP WILL YA'S

Cons
1. Max looks like he needs to go to the bathroom in a real hard way:)
2. Some people might be turned off by the dream and drug sequences
3. It eventually ends.. and I have to wait now for the third installment
