Exactly what I did with trying to play Max Payne using only the baseball bat. If you roll, time your movements properly, make enemies shot each other, use some glitches and repeat parts ad nauseum you can play most levels using only melee weapons. Recorded this on its own site.

The first game is awesome.

It went downhill with the second game and the GBA version. The movie script was just horrible. Where was the mafia and related characters? That was 2/3 of the game. Anyway, I am not very optimistic about this new game, but I prefer to wait and see.

In the meantime I'll keep trying to play the first game using only the baseball bat.
