NOTES-+-

Three years back a young NYPD cop, Max Payne, came
home one night to find his family senselessly
slaughtered by a gang of drug-crazed junkies, high
on a previously unknown synthetic drug. Now that
same drug, Valkyr, has spread through the whole
New York City like a nightmare plague, and Max
Payne's on a crusade for revenge, out to get even.
To Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, this new
drug was evil incarnate, to be stopped at any cost.

Max's boss and best friend, the only one who knew
his true identity, has been murdered, and Max's
been framed for the slaying. Everything ripped
apart in a New York minute... 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. Max is a man
with his back against the wall, fighting a battle
he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of
deep action game. Prepare for pain...

GAME FEATURES:

- FEEL THE PAIN -- "Story is the bedrock of Max
Payne. Yeah, it's chock full of mind-blowing
gunplay. But at every turn, a new and clever
piece of noir storytelling will motivate you
forward and illuminate the action." - PC Gamer

- REALISM TO THE MAX -- A first in gaming. The
first PC game with photo-digitized textures,
radiosity lighting and hardware T&L combined.
All this tech talk just means game play never
looked this real, nor frightening!

- BULLET-TIME GAME PLAY -- A first in gaming.
"Slo-mo gives you an inventive advantage over
your opposition...[and] also happens to be the
most frickin' cool device ever employed in an
action game." - PC Gamer

- PLAY IT YOUR WAY -- Auto-adjusting game play,
another first in gaming. You want the action
will be challenging and intense, but not unfair
and frustrating--the game's self-adjusting
difficulty keeps you in the sweet spot of game
play bliss.

- MAKE YOUR OWN LEVELS -- The most powerful,
easiest-to-use game editor ever released is in
your creative hands, with WYSIWYG-style editing.
Even recreate your house or workplace!

- MORE REALISM -- Painstaking attention to detail,
bullets even modeled accurately resulting in
realistic and cinematic game play unlike
anything you've seen. "Everything is
destructible, and comes apart realistically.
You've never played action sequences with this
level of demolition." - PC Gamer
