Pros:

- Max Payne with vampires, that's always going to be cool
- Narration/Voice acting, James especially is very well written and voice acted.
- Presentation, the style is just cool, I just wish it went further and got weirder
-Story

Cons:

- Very drawn out. overstays its welcome
- Gets repetitive very quickly
- Gunplay is off, weapon reloads are slow for this type of game as well
- Enemy and level variety. 20 levels in you've basically seen everything, and you still have about 20+ more to go.
- Lack of indicators, either low health or projectiles. Can't count the number of times I died to a lock-on fireball nailing me from off screen.
- Balancing. Beat the game on the intended difficulty and still died quite a bit. Some enemies are a joke and other are just annoyingly god-tier.
- Damage. Sometimes a weapon is a one-shot kill, other times it takes 4 shots to the head. The game can't decide if the weapons want to work or not.

I really wanted to like this game more, but there just isn't a ton here worth spending the duration of the story to see. The gunplay is just okay, and the lack of enemy and weapon variety make the game very redundant.

A sequel where the tighten things up could be promising, but unless you're really desperate for a slightly different Max Payne, then I'd suggest picking this up on sale or skipping it outright.
