Max Payne is a masterpiece of ingenuity, with a bit of excellent illiteration throwing in for good measure. On top of all that it's one bloody massicre after another. The story itself makes the game worth buying, add in an awesome main character, then exciting combat and a good arsinal of weapons, and you have a winner. I totally love this game. Then you also have the dozens of MODS being produced every day including a first person mod, and the decision to buy this game gets even easier. The best game I've played in a long time. Don't hesitate. If your computer can handle it, get it. Unless you frown upon violence... Then don't. :)
