"Been there, done that"

I enjoyed first 2 Max Payne games. I liked the graphic novel effect. This new game tries to emulate that with long cutscenes, but those aren't nearly as creative as the first two. The main thing I did not like is that this is the shortest & most constricting Rockstar game I've played (vs. GTA, etc.). There really is very little time & ability to explore. Even getting the golden guns & clues is difficult because you are forced into linear action, and cannot return to most areas. This was your basic shooter game & not much else. For me, a real let-down from Rockstar. If they would have opened up the environment and added side-missions etc., it would have been much better. The most positive thing was that this has probably the best graphics I've seen from Rockstar. But glad I only spent $30.00 on Ebay instead of the $60.00 retail price.
