"I had to defend my Max Payne rating in a backloggd review, it was the worst thing I could think of."

Disclaimer: I have no nostalgia for this game, it's my first time playing it.

It's a good game but it sometimes got annoying how quick you would die(sure you can quick load but still), especially the last level was horrible in this aspect. It really dragged the whole experience down a bit for me. Otherwise it's just a plain old fun little video game with time bending mechanics. Gameplay felt good for the most part and most of the levels are neatly designed. New games just don't have this feel anymore you feel me? (reminds me a bit of Half-Life or FEAR in a way.) Loved the graphic novel take on the story and Max's comments on everything. One of my favorite quotes has got to be "Punchinello was burning to get me, the feeling was mutual. He was trying to put out my flames with gasoline."

I'm definitely excited to see what they will do with the remake.
