If you even think of buying something else forget it. Max Payne is the best game of 2001. A plot that will keep you drawn in close from start to finish. A game that you will sit down and play and lose track of time. A fantastic game which captures the slo-motion of the "Matrix" in a bullet-time mode. If you like games like Halflife, Hitman Codename 47, or Rainbow six you will love this. The best Action game ever invented!
