When making the evaluations for the Action Game of the Year Award one game kept coming
back to mind: Max Payne. Why did we choose Max Payne for our Action Game of the Year?
Features like graphics and 'Bullet time' enabled Max Payne to virtually rip the trophy
from ours hands, as it emerged as our runaway favorite for 2001.
Max Payne's novel cinema-realistic graphics are simply stunning. No where have we
seen this level of detail in an action game engine. Crisp, lifelike, and of course,
intense - pretty much sums up our thoughts on this game. Make sure you have enough
system, because you'll need it.
How cool is Bullet time? Try watching a bullet whiz through the air in 'Bullet time'
and tell me if Half Life just doesn't seem the same, anymore. 'Bullet time' adds a
whole new dimension to the shooter and makes everything else seem a little, well,
dull. 'Bullet time" is to Max Payne what John Woo is to action films - very cool.
Like a good roller coaster, Max is fast and furious and when the ride is done you
don't want to get up - you just want more.
