this game is one of the best in the world. But it's too short!good thing it has different diffuculty levels you can unlock. I rented it and beet it in a weekend. In this game you can take down an evil mafia, and save my home, NYC, from a drug called valkyr. Using plenty of guns, and stopping time!!![....] Max payne can slow down time allowing you to dodge bullets, and yet, still aim in real-time. This game does have blood, some drugs,and some freaky dreams during a couple bad-trips on drugs. I gave it a 5/5 because I cant wait for a sequel!!!
IT IS THE BOMB

It's a must buy for anyone who loves shooting games where you need to think to get through chapters.The graphic novel is great.The game is a story in which you play out what happened.The story makes you want to continue playing with the plot twists.
XBox Version is the best especially with HDTV 480p !!!

Max Payne on the XBox is the best version to date!!! There is no comparison to PS2 etc. This shows us the true potential of the Xbox and its gaming future!
The graphics and playability is glitch free and play is realtime!!
If you have a HDTV with component video you will even make the game better by getting the 480p (480 horizontal lines with Progressive Scan x 2) display since the XBox's game video output is 480p. This actually doubles the lines for the clearest picture available!!!
NOTE: To get this 480p you'll need to buy the HDTV cable set for the XBox!! Normal output is 480i (480 horizontal lines of Interlaced video - excellent picture).
Summary: Max Payne New York undercover cop's wife & child are murdered. He is framed and pursued by everyone including his fellow police & feds. The actual storyline unravels as you move through the winter night of blizzard ridden New York trying to solve, and find your families murderers. There is nice narration and comic strip segments to fill you in as you transition between segments. There is plenty of action, weapons, clue solving and adversaries who you find out are plentiful & after you with there own vengence.
This is a visual pleasure and the sound track adds to the drama. Hours of gameplay are in store for you. You won't put it down until you solve & get your revenge. Enjoy.
I'm playing it right now...

...well not this very minute. But so far this game is terrific!! The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is smooth, and the plot development is addictive. If you have even thought about getting this game, do yourself a favor and buy it. I was a little hesitant at first, but I am very happy that i did. I just hope that it's not too short.
Gotta Love It! Great Mafioso Action!

If you like the Sopranons, then you'll love Max Payne. Great story line. Graphics are nice. Could use alittle more real time action when explaining Max Payne's life story. Overall....Great Game.

This game was one of the best shoot-em-up games i have ever played. The bad thing is it was fairly short. I rented it from blockbuster and beat it after about 5 hours total. I would recomend renting this game a couple of times instead of purchasing it.
GREAT GAME

Next to Halo, this game was the most fun to play on the Xbox. I just bought Genma Onimusha and I put these 3 as the greatest games so far! Get them all!

First of all I just want to say that this is the best game that I have ever played. If someone tells you that this game isn't worth buing, their full of it. One of the great featurs of this game is its intense detail of Max and the great detail of the bullets. Another GREAT feature of this game is bullet time, which gives you the edge in the game against enemies. Basically what bullet time is it allaws the action to slow down the action around you while Max is still able to aim in real time. This game is great all around except for one feature that could have been avoided. I'm talking about the cut scenes. Almost all of them are like a comic strip. They should have normal cut scenes. Overall this is a must have for any xbox owner.
I hope this is helpful to you. Buy the game and you'll know what im talking about.
REPRESENT FALL RIVER.
nice game
