  1. Vietnam veteran Joey Verolla is a really, really tough guy who can not only lift two kalashnikovs but also fire them simultaneously. And he does this trick with any other handgun, even SPAS. If it doesn't properly impress his enemies, it's because they are brainless. As is the entire game - despite some interesting mission designs, quite amusing (and gory) finishing sequences and virtually useless ability to seek cover by putting your back to the wall, this shooter is as simple as some precursors of the genre. [March 2008]
  2. If you missed out on the slow motion craze a couple of years ago, then this might be the game for you to pick. On second thought, just try to find "Max Payne." The poor execution to the game is where the real harm is in Made Man.
  3. Just as frustrating is the shoddy timing and placement of enemies. [Dec 2006, p.74]
  4. If you are a hardcore action shooter fan, you may be insulted by the total lack of challenge or variation in the gameplay, and if you are not, there is nothing here to attract you to this uninspired generic disappointment. This is one confession that should have stayed within the family.

    This game is the best thing since killswitch, even though its a rip off/based on the game, it improves, the ai is kewl, gfx;s is really good, nothing nextgen like, but the gameplay system is flawless, only played the demo thou, its only for skillfull gamers, not noobs, imagine maxpayne's textures stuck on killswitch gangsta style.

    Good to play through about three times then after that it gets a bit tedious. The removal of two points is do to the predictable nature of your enemies within the game. They get shot and then they don't move. The action really carries you through the game but its game dynamics could of been concentrated on a bit more. Don't let this put you off its enjoyable but just needs a little more work on the dynamics and possibly the modeling. Expand

    It can be listed in the worst games ever made! There are new gen games out there. This one is a rip off of its predecessors. The worst thing is that you cannot move your mouse 2 tackle enemies. The lead only moves around 2 shoot others,his arm is fixed with his body like a mummy. This is crap. Don't play it. Expand
