I played max payne 2 quite a few years(5-10 years?) ago but I never played the first game.
So since the Max Payne bundle was on sale on steam I picked it up installed the first one and finished it in a few days,
the game was a bit short but it was one of the best shooters I've played for years.
While short the game was damn hard even on the easiest difficulty,
a single hit from a shotgun at close range was enough to kill you
and on the later levels there were some enemies that had grenadelaunchers
that one shot you if they hit anywhere near you,
basically the enemies did the same damage as you.
The way the story was told through a graphic novel was also very nice.
tl:dr Max Payne = very good game
