One of the few games that really pulled off a "style" and story that really worked to fit between a movie and a game.
I remember playing Max Payne 2 when it came out and playing straight through. Max's last lines in that game I think really hits anyone who knows what loss is. Funny to say that about a video game but it works.
I remember being quite excited before the release of Max Payne. What they promised, and I believe mostly did, was this: textures based on photographs, not drawn, and an engine with lighting realistic enough to make it look good. That was a small revolution at the time. The company employed a lot of demoscene people, see...
The game was good, but it's not really among my all-time favorites tbh. Still good enough to finish it in just a few days for me as well, at least.

Video games are in the full extent of the definition an art form. Trying to convince me otherwise is futile.
I would agree, but most are really bad at it ;)
