"There is no crime in hoping..."
A culmination of every grimy noir film that rotted inside the addled brains of young teens, "Max Payne" is a game that holds up in its gameplay, impressively well. I really enjoyed the gameplay in the Rockstar developed "Max Payne: 3" as well, but it lacked the sincerity of what Remedy created with the original. It created atmospheres, landscapes. Though the platforming is spotty, the dream/drug induced episodes played through the eyes of the unreliably badass-ness of Max Payne bring a life and experimentation to the game. Well done. Excited to play the sequel.
