its kind of gta style, but being police back in the day! It has terrible optimization but with a 280x you will have no trouble maxed out

It's brilliant and has a deep story line but it's poorly optimized and poorly executed by Rockstar. It runs at 30fps only, badly implemented features and a lazy port (again ) by Rockstar.

I'd say get it if you don't have a console or other wise give it a miss.

I don't have any sort of game console, and prefer to keep it that way. If I can't play it on PC, I'll never play it

Anyway I'm considering getting this now since it's only 5 bucks, though I've got other games to play/finish ahead of it.

Thanks

Fair enough it's definitely worth a play through. Am with you on this PC rule except for the new GTA's, as Rockstar release PC games 10'000 years after the consoles and as we know and are poorly ported *cough* GTA 4 :banghead: . Although Max Payne 3 was a good port. (Well it worked brilliantly for me)

I'm currently playing this game i got it free when i bought Max Payne 3

Have to say the story's and the way you have to conduct yourself makes one amazing game

Its worth $5 easy. Fun game.

The 30FPS will bug you at first. And apparently they had to do it that way because of motion capture. Any faster throws things off. Or so they say.
But after a while you start to get used to it and it doesn't seem so bad. At least for me.

I have it for PC and have played it on the PS3. And after spending time with both, the PC version is still the better version IMHO, despite the flaws.

There is an FPS unlocker, but it does cause some glitches eg facial textures not loaded, throws of the physics while driving etc just a few things

I couldn't get that game to work for a whole year my pc wouldn't run it and i had a 8350 set up in crossfire 7970s i am running the same set up pretty much but running intel the game works wtf

 

[sygnus21]

I decided to pass on it at this time. Have too many other things going on, plus I just started Mass Effect 3.

Thanks.

For $5 though, it would have been worth leaving it sit there till you had time. It is a pretty damn good game.

 

[sygnus21]

Yeah I kind of thought about that, but at this point in time it would have been sitting a long time as I've still got games to go through - Mass Effect 3 and all it's DLC's, Witcher 1 & 2, and Prototype. Plus I've still got school, and my photography business to get off the ground... so yeah, L.A. Noire is out.

Anyway I'm currently trying to blast through Mass Effect 3 and rebuild my website before having to return to school 6 Jan, so...
