"Max Payne 1st impression"

I'll do a proper review tomorrow (trying to cram in some gaming before I away to lady's place)

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

Yeah, keyboard/mouse rules ownz!

I don't see how a PC game can be improved on the PS2. The graphics will have to be toned-down and some graphical features will be missing. And also, the PS2 controller will never be able to compete with the mouse/keyboard set-up.

I've had my eye on this one, but I'm going to wait till it comes out on PS2 - I hear it's being improved.

Fair enough, Strafex. :)

From the video clip I saw on Game Network, it didn't look good.

I did say that I didn't know about the gameplay so that I was probably wrong.

I don't know if anyone else has seen that particular clip but it looked pretty rough.

If it is that good then I clearly saw a bad clip.

ok i dont even meet the ram specifications. I have a 300mz 64mb and a 16mb graphics card.

I really need a new graphics card, rest of the system is somewhat pointless with a very low end GeForce..

I went to SR in Sawbo but they had sold out,so I got mine in PC world.
Plenty on the shelf.

Min spec:
450mhz, 96MB ram, 16mb video card

I only have a 300mz :-(

Gasmask, the recommended system is a &00Mhz while the optimum system is a 1000Mhz! My Duron 750 should manage then (especially as it's backed up by a Geforce3 and 384MB of RAM.)
Goatboy, could you send me those two screenshots please? My e-mail address is [email protected]
Grix Thraves, please explain this business about sacking Dan! I like gossip!
Oh, and Goatboy again, where did you get the game from? Can I walk in PCWorld tomorrow and expect to see it racked up on the shelves?
