Max Payne is a stylish, urban, revenge-driven action game based in New York City's grimy underground with Max fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for pain…

Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, and now hunted by cops and the mob.

The ground-breaking rendering engine allows for heart-stopping, photo-realistic visuals and breathtaking film-quality effects as Max fights his way to uncover the truth. The game combines elements from Hollywood action-thrillers with the latest in videogame technology to deliver a highly original gameplay experience.

Max Payne lets the player launch into a slow motion mode generally known as "Bullet Time", which makes dodging enemy fire and dishing out your own in return, while leaping side to side, a breeze. While this looks extremely cool to do, it also evens the odds and can only be used for limited amounts of time, making it a strategic as well as aesthetic option.
