Max Payne 1 - My Review
Amazing game, even to this day. Jesus Christ the Bullet Time effect is still timeless (no pun intended).
Played this on the Original Xbox and it's a fantastic shooter for the console considering shooters for the console were very clunky and generally bad. There are definitely difficult moments in the game that will take some dying along with some memorizing to complete, but considering I've beaten this game so many times it's not that hard of a challenge for me and with some smart tactics, it shouldn't be hard for someone to beat the game to pick it up.
Story is pretty damn cool too.

The game overall is amazing besides being so difficult
The game was so fucking great and so well made. One thing that did it for me was the difficulty, impossible to beat it. I had to get some cheat engine scripts to finally beat it, I never gave up till my 50th try of beating the damn game. Overall you should play it or play it with cheats if you can't beat it.
