Solid, fun shooter with fantastic shooting mechanics, but ultimately held down by a sub par engine, awful bosses, and some levels that are just completely awful.

I'm a huge John Woo fan as well as Max Payne fan, with the entire A Better Tomorrow series being in my favorites along with Hard Boiled. I came into this expecting something that plays akin to Woo films, and for the most part, they do. The shooting itself is fantastic and snappy, but the interactions such as jumping on rails etc feel really spacey and unresponsive. The bosses, all of them, are awful, and a terrible edition to the game no matter how you look at it. I really have no clue why they felt the need to shove them into the game, but here we are.

If you're a fan of Woo or Max Payne, this game is sure to entertain you.
