Max Payne’s wife and baby daughter were killer by junkies hopped up on a perilous new synthetic drug. For three years, Max has worked undercover to find the fund of these drugs, and, just when he’s nearly got it figured out, somebody ices his superior and pins the murder on him. Now it’s payback time as Max faces off against the Mob, the police, and much, much worse. Max Payne has jumped from the computer screen to the PlayStation2 and there’s going to be hell to pay.
Max Payne uses extremely realistic graphics to showcase a gritty film-noir-inspired New York City. Payne stalks subways, tenements, nightclubs, and even government installations as he takes his vengeance out on a horde of gun-toting terrible guys. Taking a page from the visual stylishness of famed director John Woo, as well as The Matrix, Max Payne lets the player launch into a slow-motion mode generally known as “bullet time,” which makes dodging enemy fire and dishing out your own return fire a breeze, all while leaping side to side. While this looks extremely cool to do, it also evens the odds and can only be used for limited amounts of time, making it a strategic as well as aesthetic option.
And speaking of aesthetics, the game is packed with exciting moments, weapons, and locations, even if the enemies get a small redundant after a while. The level design ranges from inspired (a multilevel parking garage) to humdrum (a warehouse) and several levels in fact take place in the twisted wonderland of the hero’s warped psyche. The graphics are state of the art, though admittedly the PlayStation2 doesn’t have the potential to render them as well as the Xbox or PC, but most people won’t notice the difference. The introduction scenes consist of painted photos presented in graphic-novel stylishness, which is a stylistic choice that pays dividends, even though the writing is hilariously terrible and the voice acting is, if possible, even worse.
Needless to say, all this is violent, unsettling, and not at all for the kids. Pay attention to the Mature rating; it’s not there for embellishment. –Bob Andrews
Pros:
- Photorealistic graphics

Why buy this on the PS2. It looks horrible on the PS2. It looks so much better on the PC or wait for it to come out on the XBOX. The game itself rules and deserves game of the year honors, but no matter what you do don’t buy on the POS2.

I have the Ps2 and like it, graphics are splendid and sports meeting are fun. Max Payne, but, is the greates shooter ever and is incredible in every way. The graphics require more than the Ps2 so they will have to downsize the graphics. I wouldn’t buy it for the Xbox either. The graphics are a small bit better but not much. Ps2 and Xbox wouldn’t be worth the cash. Buy it for PC, then you can fully delight in it!
