There are a couple of draw backs that I noticed while playing the game. There will be three (3) levels that will frustrate the crap out of you. These level, I feel, could have been left out. But, due to the game�s story, I understand way they left it in. Another draw back I noticed, was the fact that there were no FMV�s (full motion videos). Max Payne unfolded as if you were being read to. Still pictures would be on the screen, accompanied with captions. And you, Max Payne, would narrate. I would liked to have seen a little FMV somewhere (and NO, the ending 3 seconds BEFORE the ENDING narration does not count). The replay value is mediocre. Eventually, you MIGHT play it again,�MIGHT.
CLOSING STATEMENT
Overall, Max Payne is a great game for both consoles. But do be aware for the MATURE rating, it�s on there for a reason. I bought it, played it, beat it, digested it and spit it back out. I like it. Score: PS2-8.9/Xbox-9.0
