Max Payne goes a step further and requires you to join Rockstar's social club even just for single player. Kind of double DRM which is irritating to say the least. I don't mind DRM if it works properly but when it causes players who have actually bought the game to go through all this faffing about and yet there are still hacked versions around this irritates me. I'm not surprised so many people just download a copy from torrent sites.
I might give it another try when my bandwidth allowance is reset as at 35Gb a time it uses up over half my allowance. Until then I think I have wasted my money - it's punishingly difficult on Medium difficulty anyway.
Venix - yes, I found those unskippable cutscenes very annoying especially when I got to the part where I died in 3 seconds. Had to watch the cutscene over and over again. It was like as soon as the cutscene ended it was bang, bang, dive for cover, bang. Dead. I played the previous two games and enjoyed them, I liked the movie style script etc. Also they were not as difficult as MP3 - I tend to play on Medium first and adjust accordingly if I find a game too easy or hard on this setting.
