Ok, you remember in The Matrix when Neo and Trinity go to the gov building to rescue Morpheus?
When they walk into the lobby and proceed to shoot everything? Flipping about and stuff? The slow-mo that followed?
Well, Max Payne let's you do that yourself.
You control the bullet-time and it's the most incredible thing you will ever see.
A room with 4 baddies in?
No problem, run towards the door, hit slo-mo and you go leaping in, leather coat flying behind you as you unload duel berrettas at them, turn in mid-air to face backwards, still shooting, come out of bullet-time in a roll and voila!
All dead.
Being chased? Hit slo-mo, press backwards and Max flips in the air, faces the villain and flies backwards, guns blazing as he does so.
Absolutely stunning.
If you own a PC with the spec, get this game, I promise you will never, ever play anything like it for a long time.
Ok, I'm off to fly around the subway in slo-mo and shoot people.
This game rocks.
HURRAH FOR QUALITY GAMES.
Max Payne IS the future of gaming people

My first impression?
A PSOne game.
The graphics were ugly, the music sounded poor and the sound effects were musty.
The gameplay might be good though (as Goatboy described).
If so, it just goes to show that first impressions aren't everything...
Goatboy! You've got it?! I looked everywhere for it today but couldn't find it! Did you get it from Special Reserve? Please tell!
And I would have expected a bit more of a constructive approach.
Which makes me glad that I fired you.
I SAW IT ON GAME NETWORK.
The TV channel.
I had seen plenty of PC/PS2/DC/GC titles before an after it which all looked a lot better.
Perhaps the video portrayed an unfinished version.
Still, I thought that it was very good for a PSOne game...

Wicked! I can't wait to get it and try bullet time!
I have NEVER played anything like this before in my life.
Dan, are you a mentalist?
You must've seen a different version mate, or do I detect sour grapes?
"Well I haven't got it so it's crap"
Yabooh to you, sourpuss, it rocks BIG time mate.
I was disappointed to find that Operation Flashpoint needed at least a 400mz to run!

Glad to hear that you're having fun with it.
