A buggier, less iconic "Max Payne"
First I most say, I have this game on Steam not here, so this is a review of the steam version but I'm assuming they are the same.
This game, is obviously heavily inspired on Max Payne gameplay, but with worse story, presentation and less budget, than the game it copies from. It also has a more advanced engine, but a very buggy one.
Again In terms of gameplay, is a copy from Max Payne, third person, many guns, slow motion effects and shoot dodge mechanics.
The story/characters presentation is obviously inspired on Max Payne 2, but the story itself, is nothing to write home about, is B-movie stuff, no where near the story quality of Remedy writers.
In technical terms, like I said above the engine they used, is obviously more modern, it supports real time lighting and shadowing, Max Payne 1 and 2 MaxFX engine, is static/baked shadows and lighting, but this game tech, more modern or not, unfortunately has a serious problem in modern machines, sometimes the real time shadows, totally stop working, they are gone and personally, I was not able to find a fix for this yet.
So because of the somewhat Max Payne like fun gameplay, I give it 3 stars but be aware of the technical issues.
