Title: Max Payne gets 8.0 from Gamespot
Post by: Rick on December 11, 2001, 07:03:52 AM
Yeah thats right 8 out of 10 for Max Payne.

To tell the truth, I\'m a little dissapointed, my PC wont run the PC version, and I was lookin forward to this. I thought it would have been better (closer to 9). Never mind, i guess i shall save £40 anyway!!

Hmmmm, the Xbox version got a 9.2.  I was expecting something like this since Max Payne was developed for the PC anyway.  I\'d still recommend the PC version to the console ones.  But then again, there are people like Rick that have compatibility probs. :sleepy:

i think the Xbox version is worth buying..it has all the textures ported perfect and it runs at 60 fps...

Yeah im a bit disapointed too. This could have been a really good game. May still be, im not going to base my predictions / opinions on one review but still if the games really good everyone tends to say its good.

Max Payne is a one time run through. I mean, the game itself centered around a story.

No multiplayer? Please

I pre-ordered Max Payne back when Amazon was doing their 3 for 2 deal.  Soooo...I\'ll probably have it by late this week or early next.  I wish I could play it on PC or maybe even X-box, but alas, my PC is a 300mhz celeron , and I\'m not getting an X-box until I stop hearing of center channel failures and "contact MS" screens.  I still have hope for the PS2 version of MP, though!  I\'ll let you know what I think when it arrives.

Actually Star Wars Starfighter for Xbox has perfect 5.1 with the center channel in full use.  The problems with the 4.1 sound were with the developers and the software (thanks goodness).

I\'m reallyrelieved to hear that it\'s a software problem.  X-box\'s 5.1 sound is very appealing to me.  I have the optical cable for PS2, and I usually set it to play on all the speakers, but I\'ve never experienced a game in true DD or DTS 5.1

My brother hooked my PS2 to his "Suround Sound" and it\'s really cool because I played GTA3(somewhat like MP) and it feels like you\'re in the car or in Liberty City.  I also have played MGS2 on it, and Silent Hill 2.  That \'s very creepy to hear at night.:eek:   Just thought I\'d tell ya.

Well, I wanted to play the PC version but my PC is out-dated so I settled for the PS2 version......


:mad:

This game bites ass , so far....I\'ll post further impressions once I get into it more...(I just got it a few hours ago)

LiC,

You have an Xbox right? Why get the PS2 version?

I had no clue what so ever that the Xbox version was even near to being released, infact I haven\'t even seen it anywhere - so I picked  up the PS2 version which was a huge mistake..:(

I hadn\'t been following the ports closely either, so I saw it in Wal-Mart and nowhere in the Xbox section, so I bought it. Got it home and booted it up to a huge dissapointment, so I went and read about how sweet the Xbox version is....:(


Damn 30fps and below!!!

Oh well, such is life..The gameplay isn\'t too bad, if I just can get over this massive frame-rate issue..

LiC,

Ah man, it sucks to hear that. I\'ve gone through the PC version, and those sharp textures + high framerate makes all the difference. Maybe you can find a way to have it exchanged?

I\'ve played through the PC version too.. I liked the gameplay.. But all the cheesy talk got on my nerves at times.

Bah slow rubbish version PS2. I think the PS2 will be great but this could happen if developers don\'t invest time into the console esp when releasing over multiplatform. Anotherwords we could see the X-Box versions out shine in the PS2 in the future where ports are concerned.
