Kyra Silver: [Narration from trailer] On today's top story, the Valkyr crisis worsens with the murder of DEA Special Agent Alex Balder. Special Agent Balder had been shot repeatedly from a point-blank range. A suspect was seen leaving the site only moments after the shots had been fired, and the NYPD is currently in pursuit of Max Payne, a repeated felon, believed to be armed and extremely dangerous.See more »
The year is 2001 the world trade centers are attacked and diney releases some crappy movies but what caught the eye of every video gamer was a small company called Remedy interactive that had just released Max Payne. Go ahead 2 years and my oddesy begins. After getting my Xbox and 2 two games to go with {among other things} for Christmas one of these games was Max Payne. When i first looked at the cover i thought hmmm... looks like your basic shoot em up tps. I was dead wrong. From the first moment of comic noir to every last bloody body MAx Payne is a modern masterpiece. With its sharp graphics Noir storyline and Graphic novel comic to advance the story, and it is the very first game to implement bullet time. And before you say "heh they stole that from the matrix" The Matrix was released in 1999 Max payne was in development since 1996.{for a side note John Woo is the man who invented bullet time} Now for the story: Max Payne the average Nypd cop is having the time of his life hes young Married has a beautiful baby girl and has a well paying and fairly easy job. But dreams have a nasty habit of turning into nightmares when you're not looking. Max comes home one night to find his family murdered by Valkyre addicts the new street drug. Thrown into deep depression he vows to never let this happen again. He joins the DEA as an undercover agent joining the Punchenello mob. Then just as Max gets closer to shutting down the V trade he is framed for the murder of his fellow agent Alex. And to make things worse the mob now knows hes an undercover cop. So fighting both the Cops the Mafia and an evil corparation to boot he has his worked cut out for him..... There is also many great one liners in hear examples: "Vinnie Gotti the man I've bin killing to see" "I put a few more bullets in his head to make sure he stayed that way" The body count in the game though is ridiculously high not that it makes it worse {it makes it better} but i estimate that you kill over 500 people in this. So in closing if you like Third Person Shooters,Noir Films,Violence,Bullet time and one hell of a story check out Max Payne you wont regret it. {ps: cant get enough Payne? There a sequel out now called Max Payne 2: The fall of Max Payne check it out}
