Sooo...just picked up my copy. I didn't get a good look at the retail copies, but my pre-order one came in a DVD-style case. How's the game...I hope the demo wasn't an indication of the game, but you'll know my opinion. When? Uhhh, that depends on how long it takes me to play it through. I may have to play it a few times to get a better idea of what goes on. I hope it takes a long time....
I haven't really played Max Payne, but I don't think DX and MP are similar, other than being classified as being FPS. You don't have to kill in DX, and it is possible to go through the entire without doing so. You've got - and computer skills, plus other stuff to customize your person. Max Payne has bullet time...beyond that I'm not sure, since I haven't played it.
