Is anyone with me when i say that Max Payne on the PS2 is an awesome game that should not be condemed by the likes of www.gamespot.com and www.ign.com , what do they want in a game that this game dosent have. Firstly they complained about the frame rate, i know it is not as good as other titles such as Gran Turismo 3 and Agent Under Fire but if I had followed their advice I wouldn't be the proud owner of one of the greatest console games ever to be desIgned i absolutley love it and i have completed it 3 times but i still want to go back for more, when these web-sites review the games it is coming from one persons opinion just like mine is here but why does it have such a big impact on gamers today. When you see the Official PS2 Magazine slating a game it puts us off but at the end of the day it is only one persons view of the game. Everything about Max Payne is excellent and the only thing i wish is that it was twice as long. Does anyone know when Max Payne 2 will be released in the UK on the PS2 because i cant wait to get my hands on the sequel to this superb console title, WELL DONE ROCKSTAR!

Max Payne is brilliant - One of the best shoot em ups available on PS2!!
Not sure about the sequel but Im sure it will be out for PS2 aswell!!

I think why some places arent giving Max Payne a good score is because on the PS2 it is the worst version. The PC version of the game got 9.1 from Gamespot which is a really good score. And the X-Box version got 9.2. Why the PS2 version only gets 8.0, is because it has a band frame rate e.t.c and isnt as good as the other versions.
Ye, PS2 version is inferior when compared to the X-box and PC version.

No Max Payne isnt old on the PC. It came out about August time last year. The PC version and X-Box are both better versions of the game.

How come it's on the shelves with PS2 boxes when the magazines havent got their hands on a review copy yet?
Very suspicious!

PSW have got a review of it. Other magazines may have reviewed it aswell. PSW didnt review Jak And Daxter till it had been out for over a month. Some times magazines dont get to review a game before it comes out. In Max Paynes case, its not a rubbish game that they dont want the magazines to get hold of.
Max Payne is good on the PS2 but not as good as the X-Box or PC version. If you have a powerful PC then you would want to get Max Payne on that. If your PC couldnt even run Quake then you would get the PS2 version.

No you're not right...It is very short/linear/derivative and not a patch on half life or deus ex. The only fun thing in Max Payne is the bullet time feature which is only good for about half an hour, then it becomes tiresome.....

Its firstly its my view, also magazines are happy with it and say its a good game. Secondly Half-life and Deus Ex are FPS games. Its like comparing Gran Turismo 3 to Tony Hawks 3.
In your view you dont like Max Payne, but thats your view not anyone elses.
