Max Payne review
Posted by @ 10:38 AM, EST
We added a review of Rockstar’s first person shooter, Max Payne:

After getting by the less than stellar visuals, the actual gameplay and control have been done quite well. Controlling Max through his journey is simple enough thanks to an easy control layout utilized on the Dual Shock 2. The ability to cycle through weapons and equip them is painless and fast. Switching to and from slow motion and the coveted bullet time sequences is also a snap. While utilizing the bullet time is addictive, you are limited to its use thanks to a gauge that once finished does not replenish until you move onto the next area of a particular level. Therefore, in later stages of the game where its use will ultimately decide your fate, you will have to use it sparingly.
