The protagonist of this game, Max Payne, lives in a world full of hundreds of mafia members, drug addicts (known as junkies), government assassins and officials, who combine their forces to make your life as difficult as a hellhole. You, as Max Payne, go through an incredible journey full of emotional losses, setbacks, revenge, and finally, redemption. The world of Max Payne is incredibly scarce of normal, law- abiding citizens since the entire story takes place in a timeline in which the city is hit by the fiercest storm in the recorded history. But the story is so well told, that you will instantly believe any given circumstances throughout the game. The story of Max Payne is the crux of this game (besides gameplay). It is told through a number of cut-scenes and graphic novels (ala Sin City). The writer has done a wonderful job of crisp and witty writing which greatly serves the purpose of keeping the players at the edge of their seats throughout the game. Both, the cut-scenes and the graphic novels, are nicely done and maintain the dark mood and the intense atmosphere of the game. Now, we come to the come to the gameplay of Max Payne. It brings to fore a new concept in gaming, Bullet Time (ala The Matrix). The bullet time will help you through thick-and-thin situations right through the game. The whole idea behind this concept is to make the gameplay more stylish and fun to play. When in bullet time, you as a player , and all your enemies move in ultra-slow motion with the added benefit of you being able to aim in normal time while the enemies aim in slow-motion. However, you will have to use it very wisely since the use of bullet time is limited and it diminishes with time. You can, however, regain bullet time by killing more and more enemies. Another wonderful addition to bullet time is shootdodges, which you can use either with bullet time or separately. You will either dive forward or roll backwards-sidewards depending on the weapon you may be carrying at that time. The enemy A.I. is simple---see you-kill you. Thus, making it both a good thing and a bad thing. It makes for great, intense and stylish combat set-pieces. However, it would have been nice if the enemies could lose your trail, bringing a different kind of strategy to the fore. But, that's not saying much. It remains a great game through and through. All said and done, this game will always be remembered for it's story, it's unique and stylish gameplay, it's great characters, and it's memorable lead protagonist, Max Payne. Get ready to taste the Payne. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 2) My Review (200) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= Introduction A few years ago, I wasn't much into personal computer gaming at all when a friend told me about a game developed by Remedy Entertainment and 3D Realms which played just like the movie, The Matrix. It was supposed to be a cool action game, with great story, never-before-seen game-play, including bullet time and shoot dodge, and many other things to go with it. I went forward and tried the demo. And that changed my whole video-gaming habits and converted me into a pc gamer. I was bitten by the Payne! Preview Welcome to the wonderful and brutal world of Max Payne. The protagonist of this game, Max Payne, lives in a world full of hundreds of mafia members, drug addicts (known as junkies), government assassins and officials, who combine their forces to make your life as difficult as a hellhole. You, as Max Payne, go through an incredible journey full of emotional losses, setbacks, revenge, and finally, redemption. The world of Max Payne is incredibly scarce of normal, law-abiding citizens since the entire story takes place in a time-line in which the city is hit by the fiercest storm in the recorded history. But the story is so well told, that you will instantly believe any given circumstances throughout the game. Story: 9.0/10 The story of Max Payne is the crux of this game (besides game-play). It is told through a number of cut-scenes and graphic novels (ala Sin City). The writer has done a wonderful job of crisp and witty writing which greatly serves the purpose of keeping the players at the edge of their seats throughout the game. Both, the cut-scenes and the graphic novels, are nicely done and maintain the dark mood and the intense atmosphere of the game. The story is told in flashback by the character you play as, Max Payne. A NYPD Detective (New York Police Department), Max Payne is shown as a family caring man who has refused a job offered by the DEA(Drug Enforcement Agency) because he then, may have had to go undercover which would have been bad for his family. One day, Max returns home to find his house ransacked and his wife and baby daughter murdered by junkies high on the designer drug V-Valkyr. It happened on a fateful summer evening three years ago. Now, three years on, he is shown working as a DEA undercover cop trying to uncover the mystery behind the drug V. While on the job, his best friend and fellow partner gets killed by the Mafioso and Max gets framed for the kill. Now, he is a fugitive running away from law while trying to get the real killers of his friend and uncovering the mystery behind the drug V. The conspirators weren't ready to face the Payne! Gameplay: 10/10 Now, we come to the game-play of Max Payne. Its game-play is the biggest highlight of the game. It's incredibly well done and extremely enjoyable to play. You get the feeling that you are actually watching a movie. It brought to fore a new concept in gaming, Bullet Time (ala The Matrix). The bullet time will help you through thick-and-thin situations right through the game. The whole idea behind this concept is to make the game-play more stylish and fun to play. When in bullet time, you as a player , and all your enemies move in ultra-slow motion with the added benefit of you being able to aim in normal time while the enemies aim in slow-motion. However, you will have to use it very wisely since the use of bullet time is limited and it diminishes with time. You can, however, regain bullet time by killing more and more enemies. Another wonderful addition to bullet time is shoot-dodges, which you can use either with bullet time or separately. You will either dive forward/backwards/sidewards or roll forwards/backwards/sidewards depending on the weapon you may be carrying at that time. Enemy A.I.: 8.0/10 The enemy A.I. is simple---see you-kill you. Thus, making it both a good thing and a bad thing! It makes for great, intense and stylish combat set-pieces. However, it would have been nice if the enemies could lose your trail, bringing a different kind of strategy to the fore. But, that's not saying much. It remains a great game through and through. Graphics: 9.0/10 Though, the game is quite old, it still looks very good. The textures and models are nicely detailed and they look realistic. Weapons, character models, weapon reloading, environment, etc. all look fluent and realistic. The explosions and flames are nicely done, lending itself to creating a nice atmosphere. Carnage by bullets and explosions are permanent and looks good. Death animation of enemies has its restrictions, though. Also, there is no lip-syncing for the characters which look odd at times. Sound: 9.5/10 The voice-over acting in this game is the best you will ever find in any game. They sound convincing and more! The graphic novels, though they are great, would have been a big failure if it hadn't been for the great voice-acting. Voice-acting in this game really makes you fall in love with the characters. The guns and grenades all sound realistic. The enemies yell curses at you during fire-fights which add to the atmosphere. The music of the game, too, is one of the best for any game, and it goes well with the intense mood of the game. Controls: 10/10 This game is incredibly easy to control and operate. The features are very well implemented and the players find it very easy to learn the moves. You can also change the control set up for the game to any keys you want to. Play time This game can take you anything between 9-12 hours to complete in your first play through. However, this game has various difficulty modes to beat. Replayability: 9.5/10 The game-play is so strong that you can play it multiple times without getting bored. Once you beat the game for the first time, you can try to beat the game in higher difficulty modes, which are unlocked one-by- one as you beat the previous difficulty modes. The game has three difficulty modes which make the game progressively harder to beat. In addition to these three difficulty modes, it also has a timed mode to contain with. Modifications The game has quite a few good mods for you to play. And the mod community for the Max Payne games has gained momentum off-late. So you can get a few hours game-play out of them. Overall: 10/10 Recommendation All said and done, this game will always be remembered for it's story, it's unique and stylish game-play, it's great characters, and it's memorable lead protagonist, Max Payne. If you have, by any chance, missed this gem, go and get it now. It can still bowl you over.

The story closely revolves around this drug and the main character has a very personal score to settle with the drug and the people behind it. Valkyr has emerged as one of the biggest problem for the New York City Police, as it turns its addicts into freaking zombies from outer space!!! "Valkyr had been meant to be a white-winged maiden that would lift you to a warrior's heaven... But it had turned out to be a one-way demon ride to hell. The devil was in the drug. I knew.

You can use it on the junkies since they don't attack you until you mess with them. Useless in fighting against real enemies. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 2) Lead Pipe: Same as above. ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, b) Handguns ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= 1) Desert Eagle: A powerful and accurate handgun which can be used to take on a couple of enemies at one time. Drawbacks: Clip size is small and slow rate of fire Clip size: 12 Total ammo: 48 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 2) Beretta: The least powerful weapon in your armory but one of the most accurate weapon. Also, it fires very fast. Drawbacks: Not much use. Clip size: 18 Total ammo: 162 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 3) Dual Berettas: Same as above, except you carry two of these. Drawbacks: None. Can be used pretty much anywhere in the first two parts. Clip size: 36 Total ammo: 162 ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, c) Shotguns ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= 1) Pump-Action Shotguns: This is my personal favorite since it's handy for most occasions. It is very powerful. Drawbacks: Slow rate of fire, not efficient at long ranges. Clip size: 7 Total ammo: 80 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 2) Sawed-off Shotguns: These look cool but not very efficient at handling more than one enemy at a time since it can hold only two shells at a time. Drawbacks: Can hold only two shells, not efficient at long ranges. Clip size: 2 Total ammo: 80 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 3) Jackhammer: Just like shotgun but can carry 12 shells and has a very fast rate of fire. Drawbacks: Limited ammo. Clip size: 12 Total ammo: 168 ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, d) Automatic Weapons ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= 1) Ingrams: A great weapon at short and medium range distance and it has a very high speed of fire. Drawbacks: Inaccurate at long ranges. Clip size: 50 Total ammo: 300 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 2) Dual Ingrams: Same as above except you carry two of these. Drawbacks: Same as above. Clip size: 100 Total ammo: 300 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 3) Colt Commando: It looks great, feels great and it is great. Good rate of fire, accurate and good for long ranges. Drawbacks: None. Clip size: 30 Total ammo: 150 ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, e) Throwable Weapons ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= 1) Molotovs: It is a dark colored bottle with a cloth coming out from top. It explodes at contact and burns the enemy to hell. Drawbacks: Throw it far away from you or you too may burn yourself. Clip size: 1 Total ammo: 10 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 2) Grenades: Blow enemies to hell with this weapon. Drawbacks: Can explode you too. Clip size: 1 Total ammo: 10 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 3) M79: It is not a throwable weapon but rather a grenade launcher. Drawbacks: Watch out, it can blow your ass up. Clip size: 1 Total ammo: 10 ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, f) Snipers ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= 1) Sniper rifle: Another of my favorite weapon. You can take out enemies out from long distances using the scope. Drawbacks: A liability at short ranges, slow rate of fire. Clip size: 5 Total ammo: 20 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= It's done. That will be your arsenal. Now get moving player. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 6) Hints & Tips (600) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= 1) Always collect weapons after killing an enemy. 2) Use painkillers, bullet time and shootdodges extensively. 3) Rolling sideways/backwards/forward isn't really useful, since you can't shoot while doing it. Try not to perform them. They are not worth it. 4) Quick saves are a must in your first play through. Always quick save after a tough fire-fight or before venturing into the unknown (new rooms). 5) Always peek into the room before entering it, using the left or right side of the doorways. It always useful to know rather than to speculate the danger awaiting you. 6) If there are too many enemies, then wait and watch their movements and think out a suitable strategy. 7) If an enemy is holding his position, and you're not in a condition to attack, then use cover, show yourself and hide to make him fire at you. And make your move when your enemy is busy reloading. 8) If an enemy is coming towards you, let him come and take cover, attacking when he is near. 9) If you get your enemy in a state of suppression fire (i.e., shot him and he is not in a position to shoot back while taking damage) keep firing with a rapid firing weapon till the enemy's down and out. 10) If you are using a wall or a door as a cover and enemies are charging at you then follow the following mantra to stay fit : Step out-shoot once or twice-back to hiding-repeat till all of them are dead. 11) Once an enemy spots, he will come after you. Be ready for some action. 12) If you are in a hole, then you can always entice enemies into following you.

It brings to fore a new concept in gaming, Bullet Time (ala The Matrix). The bullet time will help you through thick-and-thin situations right through the game. The whole idea behind this concept is to make the gameplay more stylish and fun to play. When in bullet time, you as a player , and all your enemies move in ultra-slow motion with the added benefit of you being able to aim in normal time while the enemies aim in slow-motion. However, you will have to use it very wisely since the use of bullet time is limited and it diminishes with time. You can, however, regain bullet time by killing more and more enemies. You can activate bullet time in three ways: 1) While moving and pressing bullet time/shootdodge combo, you will perform a shootdodge in slow motion. Bullet time will end when you stand up again. 2) While standing still and pressing bullet time/shootdodge combo, you and the world will go into bullet time. You can stop it by pressing the same button again or performing a shootdodge. 3) Or you can do it by pressing the bullet time only button and stop it by pressing the same. Another wonderful addition to bullet time is shootdodges, which you can use either with bullet time or separately. You will either dive forward/backwards/sidewards or roll forwards/backwards/sidewards depending on the weapon you may be carrying at that time. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 9) Walkthrough (900) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ======================================================================= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Format of Walkthrough (920) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' A cut-scene/graphic novel (whichever way a level begins).

Contributed By: Pyro Vesten ======================================================================= P1C2- Live From The Crime Scene ======================================================================= 3) Thank You: There are (at least?) two parts in the game where Max will thank you for shooting something -- the first is in the bank's vault where the nosy alarms are going off. Shoot the red alarm hanging above the security area. The second is in Lupino's hotel when you enter the elevator and it's playing ''muzak''. Shoot out the speaker in the ceiling to the right after entering Contributed By: Phased_5EK ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 4) War Of The Rats: You can cause the rats to war amongst themselves. Use the developer command line cheat and give yourself a grenade (then ''getgrenade'' in the console) at the start of the level. Toss it in the gap of broken titles after the initial level start camera panning. This will cause the mission objectives to change to ''I had declared war against the rats''. As you progress through the level, you will come across the two factions of rats -- WITH DESERT EAGLES! Shoot at one of the ceiling lamps that's off at its base to make it fall, causing the start of the war. If your group of rats wins, they will join forces and follow you through the rest of the level. If the other rats win, they'll turn their remaining forces on you.

Go through the door and out a window. After following the bloodstains on the ledge, you'll come to another window to go through after bashing in. Lots of goodies here, and also a body with a stake in its back on the floor with the letters ''BUFF'' drawn next to it in blood - a little tip of the hat to a famous vampire slayer. Contributed By: Phased_5EK ======================================================================= P1C6-Fear That Gives Men Wings ======================================================================= 6) Soldier Of Fortune 2 Room: During the chase across the rooftop, inspect the dark window at the back to find a room with ammo and Soldier Of Fortune 2: Double Helix posters Contributed By: goldenX87 ======================================================================= P1C7-Police Brutality ======================================================================= 7) Secret Room: Near the end of the chase in part 1 chapter 7, when it shows Gognitti trying to get into a door (yelling punching and kicking). Go behind the satellite dish and jump down onto the ledge of the opposite building. From there you can jump down under the emergency stairway beside the basketball court. Funny poster inside ''Dopefish lives!'', Molotov cocktails, and other weapons. Contributed By: TaX ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 8) A Secret Enemy In A Secret Van: In the basketball courtroom, go to the fenced off gate on the far right corner of the court, and shoot the passing van. That van will stop and a man will come out with a shotgun in hand. You can shoot him. Contributed By: I found it myself and am surprised not to find it listed in Gamefaqs. ======================================================================= P1C8-Ragna Rock ======================================================================= 9) Musical Instruments: There are several instances where Max will do something when you ''use'' a music-related item. In the Ragna Rock club, you can play a rim-shot on the drums, walk across the guitar to get a twang noise, or use one of the mics to have him say ''Karaoke was never my thing.'' Later in the game when in the Punchinello manor, you can have Max try a few -- unsuccessful! -- times to play the theme of the game on the piano [make sure you have not knocked out the lid support before doing this]. Contributed By: Phased_5EK ======================================================================= P3C3-The Deep Six ======================================================================= 10) Turn Off Klaxon Sirens: While in the underground portion of the Cold Steel plant (Project Valhalla labs), you can turn off the annoying klaxons -- the Max Payne way! Any time you hear a siren blaring, look around the ceiling for the loud speakers. They are usually located by a doorway, except in the main control room where they are near the middle of the room's ceiling. Pop a round or two in to them and the god-awful noise will stop in that vicinity. Klaxon. Contributed By: Phased_5EK ======================================================================= P3C4-Backstabbing Bastard ======================================================================= 11) Developer Message: On the level where you are confronting B.B. on the parking garage, there is a hidden area where you can get a sniper rifle & ammo. Before going down the first ramp that leads deeper in to the garage, jump on the various objects by the entrance to the lower levels to get on a roof with a small metal-walled building on top. Bash on all the walls with the bat until a panel falls away and then go inside. Once inside, you'll also see a radio you can turn on to hear a rather humorous message from a couple of the game's developer. Contributed By: Phased_5EK ======================================================================= P3C5-In The Land Of The Blind ======================================================================= 12) Secret Room: In the second part of the Asgard Building, after picking up the video tape and watching the TV news report about Aesir Corp being a huge monopoly, there is a small, dark room with a table, couch etc. Shoot the small painting to make it fall off and a small white button is revealed. Press this button to make the couch behind you rise. Go down underneath it and use the control panel to open the door. Inside, switch the TV on to hear a funny version of Star Trek (called the Void) and open the cupboard behind the curtain to find, er...something else. Contributed By: Crono667 ======================================================================= P3C8--Pain and Suffering ======================================================================= 13) Secret Sliding Floor: In the last room, before going to the building's roof, there is a switch on the fourth pillar on the right. You can press it to reveal a sliding floor in the middle of the room. You can see into the room below (which is the one you came through earlier). Contributed By: I found it myself and am surprised not to find it listed in Gamefaqs. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 14) Bad Ending: To view the 'bad ending' of Max Payne, just let the helicopter on the final level take off. Contributed By: Jeevan ======================================================================= After P3C8 Ending ======================================================================= 15) Secret Area: If you manage to beat Max Payne on the hardest difficulty setting, after the game ends you will appear in a secret area in which Max is in permanent bullet time. There's a bunch of jackhammer ammo lying around, some painkillers and a few other things. There are around 20 guards waiting for you. After defeating all of the guards the game says "Well Done" and you'll be able to access a room with photographs of the development team, a special Remedy logo and some other things. Contributed By: Pyro Vesten ======================================================================= A Glitch ======================================================================= 16) Endless Empty Clips: When reloading a gun like the Double Beretta or Ingram, press jump as soon as the empty clips fall out, and Max will reload his gun again upon landing, producing more empty clips. You can do this an unlimited number of times.

Is she really dead??? A: Maybe, maybe not. This game doesn't say anything regarding her whereabouts after the incident. Wait till you play Max Payne 2. That should answer your queries regarding Mona Sax. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 2) Why is Alex Balder bald??? A: Umm...maybe working for the DEA gobbled up his hair from the top floor. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 3) What happened to Vinnie Gognitti??? Did Max kill him or not??? A: Max didn't kill him. He just filled up his body with bullets and left him in the back alley. Why did he do that??? No idea. Maybe, because he felt pity for the pathetic loser. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 4) And what about Vladimir Lem??? A: What about him??? Wait till you play Max Payne 2 for some news about him. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 5) Did Nicole Horne really die in that last helicopter sequence??? A: She is officially done and dusted with in this game. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 6) What is the time that the events in the game unfold in??? A: Two days and two/three nights. The prologue of the first chapter is based three years ago. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 7) So, what you are saying is that Max kills over 650 people in less than 60 hours??? A: Exactly. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 8) Is beating the game in higher difficulty setting worth it??? A: If you're looking for a special ending, then you will be disappointed big time. But, you will unlock a new secret level with altered physics by beating the game on the highest difficulty setting. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 9) Is the New York Minute Mode beatable??? A: Yep, it is. Use judgment and precision. Don't waste time going for out-of-the-way enemies which you can avoid. No need to collect all the ammo and painkillers. No need to check all the lockers, closets, shelves or rooms either. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 10) Does this game have a sequel??? A: Yep. It's called Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. It was released in the fall of 2003. If you loved this game, then wait till you play the second one.
