    The best 3rd person shooter ever

    In max payne (which is the name of the character and the game why i have no idea) anyway in max payne you play a cop which is a change of scenery for third person shooters.

    The game starts you out in your house which has just been broken in to by thugs who kill your wife your baby daughter and your best friend and of course the cops show up while your in the house looking at what the thugs have done the cops barge in and see you standing over your wife's body so they asume you did it and that is how the story begins. And let me tell you if there was ever a game with a great story this is it. So pretty much what the game is about is you trying to figure out who really killed your family and friend and why they framed you for doing it.

    While playing the game you will see about four or five different types of bad guys and some side characters who provide you with some hints as to where some weapons are or how to get past a certain part you are at which can be really helpful while also annoying. There is no multiplyer however because with multiplayer this game would have gotten a 10.0.


    The gameplay is just awsome from the Fireing the guns to just running around trying to find the right door to go in makes it for a very realistic experience and there is almost never a minute you go without having to kill a enemy.

    There are a few things that are not so realistic such as the slo-mo dive which helps a lot during the gun fights even though it is not realistic it is very helpful and fun.

    The sound is also very well done from the sound of the gun fireing in slow motion to the regular sound.


    The characters voices are very well done by the actors and actresses making sound very real and not corny or cheesy.

    The graphics are also very well done with no lag at all the graphics are just purely awsome.

    Overall If you have a Xbox, Ps2, or a pc GET THIS GAME.

      Max Payne is dark, gritty, relentless, and simply badass 0

      S Max Payne is not only an incredibly well designed, all-around fun game. It's an example of how well story and atmosphere can be implemented flawlessly into a videogame and ultimately be the strong point of that title. Although it has aged since its release in back in 2001, Max Payne still holds up as a charming, enthralling videogame that not only executes well in the gameplay department, but also enthralls the player in a storyline that sucks you in and keeps you thoroughly entertained from b...
