It's quality, not quantity.

the blood trails were annoyed the first dream one especially anyways the dialogue was ment to be in the vein of a comic book

Because they were awful!

Boring, fustrating and stupid.
They were pretty much a major flaw in an otherwise solid game.

I liked the cutscenes though.
I thought that the loading times were a pain, but then maybe I've been spoilt with Nintendo consoles! :-)

Max's husky voice and the cutsceens interupted the gameplay too much just like the codac screens cut in too much while playing MGS2.

Halo gets the right blend between cinematics and gameplay IMO.

I liked max Payne but those blood trails had me swearing, lots on several occasions.

Perhaps you can, but for me it was a major let down and really spoilt the game for me.

I'm glad you respect my opinion, but you've got to admit, though the story was nice, the dialogue was just laughable. I mean, don't you remember this scene, for example:
-----
[Max is talking to a friend at a subway station, through a gate. Behind his friend, a man runs down the stairs and shoots him in the head.]

Max Payne: He was dead. I could tell by the cold and accusing stare of his eyes.
-----
I mean, this guys brains had just literally been blown out, and the only way Mr Payne can work out he's dead is by studying his eyes? Sorry, but that just made me laugh, which I'm sure wasn't the intention.

Ah well, perhaps I'll give it another go soon, I might be able to get through it :).

Max Payne when you bust through into the bar for the first time :) You know the rest ;)
