About this product

Product Information

Rockstar Games and Neo Software bring Remedy Entertainment's PC hit to the Xbox. The game was developed solely as a single-player adventure, as the designers at Finland's Remedy Entertainment focused on creating an experience that would make gamers care at least as much about the main character as they would about finish times or frag counts. Tried and true devices of pulp fiction and film noir are employed in this game, drawing the player into the dark story through gripping motivations of revenge and self-preservation.<br><br>Technically, Max Payne offers its own brand of state-of-the-art graphics and sound. Detailed, high-resolution environments are deformable, as walls become riddled with bullet holes of various sizes and shreds of paper, plastic, plaster, and tile fall to the ground, each in their own distinctly realistic manners. Admittedly inspired by the cinematic works of John Woo and Sam Peckinpah, the game applies stylistic techniques borrowed from action films as well, not only to add to the mood of the story but also to enhance gameplay. The title's signature "bullet time" gunfights can be played out in slow motion to provide a familiar dramatic effect and also to allow the player a chance to better situate himself and pick out prime targets in the chaos of flying lead. <br><br>While the storyline still determines the events that need to happen in each mission and level, Max Payne is designed to allow the player to decide exactly how goals are accomplished. While the game must adhere to the linear nature of a plot-driven experience, it strives to also allow an engaging sense of freedom and control through expansive level design. Large, seamless areas are intended to offer the player a sense of new space to conquer as he or she sees fit, whether methodically sneaking about to avoid detection or running quickly and violently through a swarm of enemies with both guns blazing.

  • The original noir TPS and a must for any fan of the series.

    The game itself is a third-person shooter that recounts a dark and dirty flashback of undercover DEA agent Max Payne. And when I say dark, I mean pitch black. It's so gritty it almost made me sick at times -- but I mean that in a good way. The story is so well told and so involved that it's like you're playing a John Woo action film on your computer -- something the folks at Remedy have no qualms about admitting since they scattered Woo references throughout the game. Within the first 20 minutes of the game, your wife, baby, and boss are dead. Seeing as how you don't have much left to live for, you go after the Mafia drug syndicate where you've been working as an undercover mole, exacting justice on the people you think are responsible for your family and friend's deaths. - IGN

  • Max Payne: Gritty Bullet-time Master

    Classic gameplay. Great use of the bullet-time feature and an interesting noir detective story.

  • 5 stars because I’m not bothered

    But they sent a platinum hits version when the picture isn’t maybe I missed something but like I said I don’t mind just giving a heads up to other people because I know some people be weird about the platinum hits cases. I’ve been waiting years to play this game so I’m glad to finally play it thanks!

  • Max Payne is one of the best games made

    Older so graphics aren’t the greatest but the controls and story are amazing. Max Payne 2 is also great.
