I bought Max Payne not too long ago and beat it. I have to say that this is the best packed action shoot em' up game. In Max Payne your an undercover cop and becomes a New York fugitive. I can't tell you why because it would spoil the whole game. I gave this game 5 stars because of it's unique creation. It's full with action and it has just the right amount of difficulty. There's also an option that lets you do a matrix slow motion style shooter for about 7 seconds. This is a very brilliant option in the game because if you see a group of enemies just use this option and shoot them. Secondly, the graphics are amazing. It just spices everything up to a new level. The enivironments are also interactive, for example, you can buy a soda from the soda machine or turn on the sink or shower or even flush a toilet. So, that's also a pretty cool thing they put into this game. Also, the game's AI Scripts are easy at the beginning and increase with each level. The AI is never impossible to beat and I think that is pretty creative. Max Payne also has a dazzling storyline. The only bad part about this game is the voice talent. Max Payne always seems dull and just says things in a voice that's kinda lame but funny. Like if someone dies he's just like..well if you buy the game you'll see what I mean. I gave this game 5 stars because I thought it was very unique and amazing and everything! I also want to thank the creators and everyone else for spending their time to create a game with so much action and brilliance. Well, if you like action packed games with unique features I say buy this game at all costs!
