Max Payne PC review-
I had heard about Max Payne through a friend so i picked up the shareware version online, a couple of days later i was hours into the First part of the full game.
Max Payne is an Action game in which you play as the titular Max Payne, a new york cop who lost his wife and child to crazed junkies and is infiltrating a Mafia Crime family, when his closest friend Alex is Murdered and Max framed for the crime.
This leads Max to launch a one man crusade against the criminals of New York and in doing so discovers a darker conspiracy.
The Gameplay in Max Payne is fairly standard with max travelling through standard corridors and setpieces similiar to a First Person Shooter, however the gunplay of Max Payne is Where the game truly shines with the Well utilized ability to use bullettime, Max is Able to take out hordes of foes and its always possible to scrape your way through a level with almost no health,The game also features a good variety of weapons clocking in somewhere around the 20+ mark.
The Graphics in Max Payne are a bit dated by todays standards but are a fare trade for the excellent gunplay, To make up for the graphics the game features a stellar soundtrack and amazing graphic novel cutscenes.
All in All Max Payne is a very enjoyable game that refines bullettime into a vital game mechanic and should not be missed by any Non-Pacifist.
