For the first time ever, I have played Max Payne and wow, this game is a lot of fun! I will say it is really dated, I mean this game is over 20 years old but it is still so much fun! Here are the Pros and Cons.
PROS:
Combat- This game takes the "Bullet Time" effect and makes it fun! In my opinion, I personally do not like using Bullet Time in games but in Max Payne, I found myself using it a lot more, all the neat tricks and stunts you can do just made the combat really unique.
Guns- You had a well done variety of guns! Couple shotguns, the famous Akimbo Uzis, Commando, and a freaking M79! A lot of fun weapons to use for taking down these people!
Max Payne himself- Max is one of the coolest MC's I have ever played as in a video game. He is just a chill dude but when you get on his bad side, he is not going to be very chill. His character is very unique.
Difficulty- This game has some what of a hard difficulty, some parts you can get by pretty easily, some not so much. This game is not ridiculously hard, it gives you a good challenge which is always nice.
THE COMIC BOOK TRANSITIONS- I am not even going to say anything, if you have played this, you know how cool they are.
CONS-
This is kind of all my cons packed into one because of this reason... THIS GAME NEEDS A REMASTER. This game is over 20 years old, it has not aged great, there are some really annoying bugs, the save system is awful, and the graphics are not the greatest. I know, this game is made by the notorious Rockstar Games, we probably are not getting a remaster (anytime soon). But I would 100% replay this again if it gets a remaster, along with Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, which I have yet to play but I will in the near future! Remaster both of these games and Rockstar will make a TON of cash.
Overall, Max Payne is a fun shooter, with a nice story to follow, great combat, epic moves, and one of the greatest Video Game Main Characters of all time. Like I stated above, I will be playing the sequel, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne in the near future.
