I asked the same question. The answer also depends on what do
you want the game to be?
I loved to stroll the snow-covered New York streets during the night, with that depressing music theme in the background.
Today, Max Payne looks
like this. Yeah, in broad Brazilian sunlight!
I haven't played the game yet, so I can't say if it's a good
game. But surely this isn't the Max Payne I used to know.
