12 Days of X-Mas: Game - Max Payne
By Michael Flaminio, Insanely Great Mac
December 6th 2002
Gritty noir game lets gamers put on the persona of man with nothing to lose
Max Payne injects some personality to the first person shooter genre. The player takes
on the role of the title character as an undercover NYPD cop gone fugitive. He's on
the run from the mob and police as he attempts to clear his name. An in-depth, gritty
story is complemented with some hard-boiled narration.
Max Payne is a fun game. What I enjoyed about it is it's more about the story than
game play, which to me anyway, meant it wasn't overly difficult. Max Payne sucks you
in, not because you want to beat the next level, but because you want to know what's
going to happen next. Also, the game avoids making the levels just a means to get to a
cut scene for the story to advance.
Max Payne runs on Mac OS 9.1 or Mac OS X 10.1.4 or later. The game is somewhat violent
and may not appeal to all gamers. Inside Mac Games has a full review of the Mac
version of Max Payne.
Max Payne is available from most Mac resellers. The game is available from Small Dog
Electronics for $43.
