>Didn't Max Payne come out around the same time on the same console?
It's ironic that you compared two games that are elevated by their gimmicks. Max Payne, by the devs own admission, was saved by bullet-time. It could have easily ended up like pic related.

At Halo CE's release, it was still novel to have vehicles that you could enter and exit in realtime inside of a huge environments, nevermind being able to operate different seats and turret, or even being able to shoot someone through a window. GTA3 was like three weeks old.
