Has been updated since I last made a negative review. Seems like it has improved a lot since then. Can't say I've tried it yet however.

Origin got replaced by the EA application and there is a bug that makes the game not load anymore. Dead game unfortunately. A shame, since I was really craving some battlefront action.

♥♥♥♥ game.

My friend asked me to play this game and at first I was aprehensive. It looked like a very amateur game with lackluster graphics and very basic combat, and at the time I wasn't sure whether I could afford to play it with my limited amount of time that I play videogames. What I discovered completely blew my mind.

In motion the graphics are stunning, skin glistens in the wind and rocks explode violently when you throw them, with one of the best physics engines I've ever seen in all my years of gaming. When you use the groundbreakingly innotive control scheme to use the sumo attacks, he will realistically track the enemy and attack at face, or back of their head in some scenarios when they are moving.

The gameplay functions alot like a game of football. You basically score points for each time you can knock down your opponent and this is alot more difficult than it sounds, due to a roguelike system that basically means that alot of your attacks will fail and at times can cause a tie when both of you take out each other at the same time! This can result in sudden death bonus rounds!

I really enjoyed this product.

Engine Upgrade.. Get it? LOL

+10/10 Singleplayer campaign delivers on all fronts, a worthy addition to the max payne series
+Sexy graphics and animations in particular
+Good music, voice acting and dialogue is spot on
+Linear structure means level of detail is rediculously high, every scene is beautiful
+Arcade modes for replay value
+Decent multiplayer
-Linearity means traditional rockstar freeroam is missing, but facilitates higher strength on storyline, graphics etc
-Long load times (You won't notice this the first play through however, as they are disguised with good cinematics)
-Somewhat overcomplicated narrative at parts
