Good Review , Rockstar showed the PC some love with this title , the game is gorgeous when cranked up to high + , was certainly worth the 30GB download :D
Rockstar was also quick to patch any problems within a week of release , very impressed.
Just be sure add -nomouseaccel to the command line, R* say it will be added as a standard option next patch so it will do for now :) , source: http://forums.steampowered....
Completed it on hard mode (free aim) the other night, very challenging , enjoyed it from start to finish :)
Wern't the graphics amazing!! And the gameplay was indeed tight. My only gripes are:
it didn't have the Max Payne darkness or twistedness. As beautiful as the environments were they all felt a touch cliche..it could have been Drake or any other recent game hero - I wouldn't have been the wiser.
I loved the NY flashbacks so much and wished the whole game was set in NY again. I kind of wished they had gone with the original max payne digitalized art. Without it, the game just felt like a GTA version of Max Payne. Kind of the way that Lego do Star Wars (slight exageration). Max Payne had a different voice or character from cutscenes to gameplay. Cutscenes were original max payne, ingame was some other joe blo.
Thanks for confirming that. I should have been a bit more clear in my post. I meant that Max Payne had a very different character (persona) from cut scenes to ingame. So much that I thought it could have been a different actor in some of the shots.

Id give the game a 8.5 anyways
My two cents.
Thanks for the review :)
