I won't write a lengthy review, as many others on here have said enough. However, I would like to inject my own thoughts, as I enjoyed this game immensely. Sure, It may be a Max Payne spinoff, ripoff,or whatever you may label it, but it does have some unique qualities of it's own. I played Max payne one and two, and both games have some striking similarities. Both Max and Jack are cops who have lost loved ones to horrific violence, and are intent on revenge and retribution, no matter what it takes. Heck, the two even resemble each other physically. One thing Max did not have, was Shadow, the faithful k9.
I just finished this game a few days ago, and I'll be honest..for me, this was one of the most challenging games I have played for a while. The bosses in this game are the toughest I have faced so far, and I spent many nights tossing my controller down in frustration. Overall, if you are into the noir, this is for you. Despite my liking this game, it's not without it's flaws
Pros:
Good graphics
Nice array of weapons
great storyline
Excellent controls
Cons:
Mini-games..This is a true waste of time, especially the lifting part. I'm surprised i did not damage my controller buttons, lol.
Awkward camera angles on some levels.
Other than that, I highly suggest this game, as it's super cheap now. Enjoy!
Great game for all type of gamers - Reviewed on 2006-04-14
It is gritty and dark story about a Bronson/Eastwood like cop. It is action game , there is shooting (best solved problem of PS2 having no mouse to move crosshair ), fist figting and minigames. You can turn blood off, and there is plenty of challenge although I played and completed on Rookie Level.
Some bosses are too easy, some I'd never beat without reading FAQ, and some levels, like ninth , are TOO long compared to the ones that follow.
And yeah, if you think it is repetitive, try Quake 4 to see what is repetitive.
It is ridiculous to compare this game to Jak and Daxter, but I got so much fun outta both, and they left very high impression on me.
