I don't know about angels, but it's fear that gives men wings.
Max Payne is the gritty film noir adventure of a broken man infiltrating the mob and taking down a government conspiracy, it's fondly remembered and spawned 2 sequels and a major Hollywood film, but...was it any good?
Max Payne is a great example of the memory of the entire event condensed to 'just the best bits' being a lot more enjoyable than the process of actually playing through it, which is buggy, simplistic and often frustrating.
Max Payne is an incredible experience told through a slightly above average gameplay vehicle.

It is impossible to describe how mind blowing this game was at the time

Rest in peace James McCaffrey one of the most iconic voices in gaming.

I gotta say the voice actor for Max is perfect for this kind of cop story. And those one-liners are often damn good. "He was trying to buy sand for his hourglass. I wasn't selling any" goes pretty hard.

What they lacked in budget they made up for with style and they nailed it... There's just nothing else like this game.

While some of the complaints are valid, some are a fundamental misunderstanding of how game engines, optimization and basic technical limitations work, especially at the time this game was being made. This wasn't 2015, this was at a time where game physics were largely dedicated to move player characters and NPCs. Having a case full of bank notes explode and spread like a cloud just for a two second quip does not justify the weeks of development, disk space and processing power it would require, when so much else in the game was probably already such a big demand from the developing team. It brings me to a point where I'm standing here just waiting for the criticism about how none of the characters' mouths move...

Quick note on the âpills on the pallets.â I used to work construction, and multiple times, when someone would pull something or get hit by something or even cut, they wouldnât just pack it in and go to the hospital, but pop a couple of painkillers and keep working. We had one guy specifically leave his pills on pallets when his shift was over, in case anyone needed them. So yeah, itâs actually not as outlandish as youâd think.
Enjoying the video otherwise, interesting perspective!

âHe was trying to buy sand for his hour glass, but I wasnt selling anyâ hha so good

As a games developer I started to collapse into myself when you suggested that the player should be able to shoot a cigarette out of an ash tray to set someone on fire

The Max Payne series is a testament to Sam Lake's talent as a writer. This game's story simultaneously takes itself very seriously and not seriously at all, and usually that would be like trying to mix water and oil. However, Max Payne 1 manages to do that impossible task. The story starts off with us, the player, experiencing a father's worst nightmare and it plays it straight up until we get to Roscoe Street Station. It begins to ease us into the dark comedy with Max's ridiculous metaphors that you'd see in film noir parody, and then we get the goofy dialogue between the goons which also borders on parody - the part where Max starts up the maintenance train to smash through the tunnel barricade, and he says "so much for being subtle" after breaking through, like did he expect to quietly smash through xD. Sam Lake knows that the entire story is ridiculous but he has fun with it whilst reminding the player why we continue with Max's warpath - "nothing is a cliche when it's happening to you".

"i was in a video game. funny as hell it was the most horrible thing i could think of" always loved that line.

I played this in 2012, 11 years after release and I was blown away. Could only imagine what it must have been like in 2001.

Just a quick PSA for those looking to play this game:
You may have noticed from Josh's footage that Max tends to slide along and clip through the floor in his shoot-dodge animationâthis is a bug resulting from running the game at anything above 60FPS. So after installing the required compatibility patches, don't forget to cap your frame-rate if you want Max to dodge through the air like he was designed to.

The part where the baby is crying and you've gotta follow the red trail stays with me to this day

The constant focus on making interactables have a purpose i genuinely have to disagree on- having a purpose is cool and by no means bad but having them just be a pleasant surprise to the player is just as good because there was no reason to add the detail. It just adds to the experience.

Josh: Why isn't this Hitman?
Me: Because it's Max Payne.
Josh: I want Hitman!

Max's drug induced nightmare had me shook as a child. Running along that blood trial with his daughter crying was stuck in my head for weeks.

It drives me absolutely nuts how everyone Iâve seen make videos on this game points out that the name Woden is âclose to Odinâ when Woden is the Anglo-Saxon name for Odin just as Wotan is the south Germanic name for him. Great video btw I just had to get that out

Besides the nightmare scene and the crying baby, the line that stuck with me all these years occurs when Max loses all his equipment and is being tortured. Freeing himself, he growls:
âAll I had was Niagaraâs bat, sticky with my own blood.â
Holy crap, what a great noir line and perfect delivery!

I just love hearing Max's dialogue, his voice actor did so well and I love the music and atmosphere. Replayed Max payne 3 several times and might have to play it again here soon lol

Without watching I can confidently say yes. Max Payne was very good.
