Awesome old school game, straight action, no puzzles or stupid long boss fights, maybe 3-4 hours long. Grab some guns and kill some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in slow motion action. Some highlights include; no modern woke crap, one of the enemies is named Helmet Koch, some great cheesy 80s action movie dialog. You can grab this for less then a $1 on sale. 10/10 There are some tweaks I needed to configure in order to get it to run right. -PCGAMINGWIKI has Widescreen\FOV\Shadow Fix -Setup nvidia control panel with forced v-sync After these fixes the game ran perfect.

Bullet time is kind of unnecessary in this game, but it's still a short and decent experience if you treat it as an aim trainer. Yes, it's flawed in many ways, but it's not boring either, thanks to its streamlined and action-packed gameplay. Just make sure to quick-save every now and then to make the experience less frustrating. How to beat the final boss if you struggle: go to the upper deck and shoot him from there whenever he isn't coming upstairs. Easy win.

El Matador is a Max Payne clone(3rd person shoot em up type game with slowmotion and shoot dodge) It's a nice and fun game and it has nice glass shattering physics but compared to Max Payne it's not that good. Lower the difficulty if you don't like having bullet sponge type enemies. I recommend this only if you have already played Max Payne 1-3,Stranglehold and Enter the Matrix and want to play another Max Payne type game.(I also got this for less than one dollar and it is a good value for that imo) But you have to download some fixes from PCgamingwiki since it has performance issues on today's hardwares. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/El_Matador
