Too many people are whining about the cheesy. hammy acting in this game. Well, guess what? When I was a kid, we didn't have this much acting in video games. All we could settle for was a couple of minutes of grainy dialogue and maybe some jerky FMV cut scenes. Max Payne is one step closer to bridging the gap between games and cinema. Kudos to the valiant Finns who created this bad boy. Finland is slowly but surely taking over the media world!
