Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMax Payne kills literally hundreds of people in this game. The total count for the entire game is 662, but one kill is included for a dream sequence. The total number of kills in the actual game is 661.
- GoofsA .50 AE caliber Desert Eagle holds 8 rounds (7 in the magazine 1 in the chamber), not 12. A semi-automatic pistol is capable of holding magazines of potentially any size, and it is not impossible that an extended magazine was not being used.
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits, when you complete the game, the following text appears on the screen: Max Payne has only started his journey through the night. The pain has only just begun. More will follow.
- Alternate versionsThe Xbox version differs even from PS2.
- Auto saves and quick saves are still present from PC.
- Red brackets were added around the highlighted menu options.
- An even different graphic novel font is used than PS2.
- The graphic novel panel for Backstabbing Bastard uses the same image as PC, just with the towers removed.
- Different menu backgrounds are used.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Troldspejlet: Episode #25.1 (2001)
Featured review
The greatest "film-noir" game I have ever seen...
Max Payne is the titular cop hell-bent on revenge after his wife and child have been murdered by a group of strangers in his own house. While the plot of the game feels good enough for any film-noir it is the unique atmosphere that separates it from the rest.
While most people will probably remember the game for the revolutionary bullet-time that allows the protagonist to move in glorious slow motion, there is I must say a whole lot more to the game.
Take for instance the movie references; The code for a passageway is "John Woo" while at a certain point Max dryly comments before attempting to take out some terrorists: "I played Chow Yun Fat..." Max Payne also has an awareness of itself in the game, whereby he accounts that "I feel like being in a computer game..."
All in all I must say that Max Payne is the greatest film-noir game and you surely must try it to experience it!
