Max has been given some more awards, and we're here to bring you a short summary of them. First off is the best PC game of the year award given to Max by Gamezone. In Gamezone's award (http://www.gamezone.com/goty/GOTY2001PC.htm), they say this about Max:
"The game is absolutely and genuinely unique. Its only major shortcoming is in its bathetic presentation: it comes off as a B-movie at times when it seems the developers wanted it to come off as an A-movie. If you think about it, though, that's hardly a shortcoming: it's a game that comes off as a B-movie among a multitude of games that only wish they could come off as any kind of movie at all. It's really quite an achievement; it's a mixture of standard story-art qualities (plot/momentum, story, scene balance, character) and standard computer game qualities (bug-free technological excellence, top-notch graphics, compelling sound production, gameplay and interface innovations, editor tools, replayability).
In other awards, Max was given several Reader's choice awards over at IGN.com. The IGN awards are:
