That Max Payne is the most fun I've ever had with a video game. Period.

Anyone else agree.

Not the most fun, somewhat up there though.

no, i enjoyed it. but the best game i ever played... no.

I just recently played through the first two games, I had a lot of fun with the story and gameplay. Their is something about the bullet time mechanic that makes it awesome even today.

I liked both of them. Sometimes I'd be dying at a hard spot and realize I'm not using my bullet time. Then it'd be too easy, the game really is about tactically using your bullet time. 10x so on hard, I remember going through Max Payne 2 on the hardest setting. I got up to the last fight but never finished, I just went for a "I'll come back later" and never did.

The ONE gripe I have about Max Payne 1 and 2 is that there is no checkpoint system.

I get way into the games that I forget about quicksaving and then end up dying near the end of a level. Rage does the same thing and it instantly makes me turn off the game.

Can't even count how many times I've completed this, and I don't even bother to replay other games.

Who said anything about it being the best game? We're talking most fun, not best.

I got this game 4 days before I got my first PS3 game. I stopped shortly after the dream sequence. I don't think I was using bullet time enough and I couldn't find enough pain killers. The PS2 version wasn't the good version to begin with so that probably didn't help. It hasn't aged particularly well either. I did get drunk and laugh at how bad it is once about a year and half ago. That was fun.

Gognitti ran out of steam in a dead end valley with steam boiling out of the sewer grates, like all the fires of hell were burning high beneath us.

It was shakedown time.

Never played a Max Payne game so I can't really say I had fun with them.

It's up there. But I have other titles that gives this one tough competition.

I can't say that. It's not even close to being the most fun I've had with a game. In fact, it might have been the most dreary and boring time I've had with a game.

I liked it even more after I installed that Kung Fu mod for it :)

but what can you almost really say about them? :)

what I can say is that Max Payne 1 and 2 are still just as fun when I replay them as they were when they came out. Story holds up, gameplay does, too. But: what was bad before still sucks (=> dream sequences).

Honestly, the max payne series is one of the greatest series ever. Story telling, gameplay, sound, visuals. A work of art in my opinion.

Its pretty good.

I used to play parts of Max Payne over and over again with unlimited ammo/bullettime and unleash hell... good times. New one looks siiiieeck!
