The Max Payne game with the most style, and my favorite out of the bunch.
It's a masterful attempt at style and tone that I doubt the remake will even capture. A showcase of how much you can squeeze in a single video game. It's a graphic novel, noir film, Hong Kong action piece, Lynchian horror and a violent video game that broadcasts all the team's influences which happens to be both genuinely dark and satirical at the same time.
Also, I'm gonna remove a star for each game that doesn't have Sam Lake's facial model from now on.
