Max Payne was an innovative game that much of the gaming world missed out on. Played mostly in third person (think Tomb Raider), the story of Max--a hardboiled ex-LAPD detective now DEA agent--played out with interspersed stylistic graphic novel and cinematic cut scenes. Stylistically no other game was quite as well done.
The real plus to MP was the physics model (shoot a table covered in money and watch the wood and paper splinter/disentegrate, the paper pieces fluttering in the air while the wood chips scatter) and the ability to put Max in bullet time (think slo-mo Matrix style).
MP2 is more of the same, but better in all aspects. No lie, best damn game I've ever played. Do youself a favor and check it out.
