<quote>Speaking of other engines, I was always curious why the Max Payne engine was never picked up... it was the best looking thing around for quite a while... and unlike most of the other engines mentioned, it ran great on lower end hardware -- you didn't need a ton of horse power to run it.</quote>

You are absolutely right, both Max Payne 1 and Max Payne 2 were undeniably the best looking games when they came out and the engine runs amazingly well on not so high-end rigs. However as someone who has been modding for it over the last couple of years I can tell you it was tailor-made for the MP games and it's not really flexible to other game-types or other level/art scenarios than the ones featured on the MP games. Also, the level editor has very primitive modeling tools and doesn't really sport many features than other editors do. But boy, the Remedy guys did such an AMAZING work with the limited editor they had that you would never guess this.
