    so call me crazy but wasn't max payne an amazing game? even to a comparable extent max payne 2? sure they were short but my god...to this day I still think about it when I'm bored in class.

    (I also love my max payne mouse pad)

    Did any of you guys have a moment in the middle or end of a game where you just sat back and said "my god this game is amazing" ?

    i loved the game too, i think the best part was the textures, they did an awesome job, so many things about the game were neat, especially for its age.

    They were superb games and I don't think that many people thought otherwise. If they did then they are shit.

    It's not something I think about regularly though.

    They are modern classics, no doubt. However I dont think it was a very good idea for me to complete the game about 3 times in a row after getting it, I have no interest in revisiting it now D:

    But I'm still saving a Max Payne 2 replay for a good time~

    i agree with max payne 1 being great, but 2 was a bit crappy IMO

    I had to skip past 2's story completely tbh. I tolerated the gameplay but it felt like a lot of rehash.

    Loved the first one, one of the best games ever. I got disapponted to the change of his face tho. It didn't really feel like the same story anymore, i would've never believe that it had that much effect on me.

    Second was fun, but nothing amazing in it.

    The combat was incredibly fun and set new standards in 3rd person action games, story was great (emotional!! at least 1st part, 2nd one wasn't so great anymore I agree), art/level of detail was amazing, especially in the 2nd one, the pay off was that the game was rather short, lots of interaction...I hope Remedy delivers again with Alan Wake!!

    Yeah, they're great.

    I like a game that's not afraid to kill a baby and torture you for it.

    It's better. Some say it's not but it definitely is.

    After seeing this thread I actually installed Max Payne 2 again and played through it in one day (took me about 6 hours). Tis good stuff, visually it still holds up quite well (Although no near as impressive as it was back then)~
