'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
I welcome you to the wonderful and brutal world of Max Payne.
The protagonist of this game, Max Payne, lives in a world full of
hundreds of mafia members, drug addicts (known as junkies), government
assassins and officials, who combine their forces to make your life as
difficult as a hellhole. You, as Max Payne, go through an incredible
journey full of emotional losses, setbacks, revenge, and finally,
redemption.
The world of Max Payne is incredibly scarce of normal, law-
abiding citizens since the entire story takes place in a timeline in
which the city is hit by the fiercest storm in the recorded history.
But the story is so well told, that you will instantly believe any
given circumstances throughout the game.
The story of Max Payne is the crux of this game (besides
gameplay). It is told through a number of cut-scenes and graphic novels
(ala Sin City). The writer has done a wonderful job of crisp and witty
writing which greatly serves the purpose of keeping the players at the
edge of their seats throughout the game. Both, the cut-scenes and the
graphic novels, are nicely done and maintain the dark mood and the
intense atmosphere of the game.
Now, we come to the come to the gameplay of Max Payne. It
brings to fore a new concept in gaming, Bullet Time (ala The Matrix).
The bullet time will help you through thick-and-thin situations right
through the game. The whole idea behind this concept is to make the
gameplay more stylish and fun to play. When in bullet time, you as a
player , and all your enemies move in ultra-slow motion with the added
benefit of you being able to aim in normal time while the enemies aim
in slow-motion. However, you will have to use it very wisely since the
use of bullet time is limited and it diminishes with time. You can,
however, regain bullet time by killing more and more enemies. Another
wonderful addition to bullet time is shootdodges, which you can use
either with bullet time or separately. You will either dive forward or
roll backwards-sidewards depending on the weapon you may be carrying at
that time. The enemy A.I. is simple---see you-kill you. Thus, making it
both a good thing and a bad thing. It makes for great, intense and
stylish combat set-pieces. However, it would have been nice if the
enemies could lose your trail, bringing a different kind of strategy to
the fore. But, that's not saying much. It remains a great game through
and through.
All said and done, this game will always be remembered for it's
story, it's unique and stylish gameplay, it's great characters, and
it's memorable lead protagonist, Max Payne.
Get ready to taste the Payne.

2) My Review (200)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
Introduction
A few years ago, I wasn't much into personal computer gaming at all
when a friend told me about a game developed by Remedy Entertainment
and 3D Realms which played just like the movie, The Matrix. It was
supposed to be a cool action game, with great story, never-before-seen
game-play, including bullet time and shoot dodge, and many other things
to go with it. I went forward and tried the demo. And that changed my
whole video-gaming habits and converted me into a pc gamer. I was
bitten by the Payne!
Preview
Welcome to the wonderful and brutal world of Max Payne. The protagonist
of this game, Max Payne, lives in a world full of hundreds of mafia
members, drug addicts (known as junkies), government assassins and
officials, who combine their forces to make your life as difficult as a
hellhole. You, as Max Payne, go through an incredible journey full of
emotional losses, setbacks, revenge, and finally, redemption.
The world of Max Payne is incredibly scarce of normal, law-abiding
citizens since the entire story takes place in a time-line in which the
city is hit by the fiercest storm in the recorded history. But the
story is so well told, that you will instantly believe any given
circumstances throughout the game.
Story: 9.0/10
The story of Max Payne is the crux of this game (besides game-play). It
is told through a number of cut-scenes and graphic novels (ala Sin
City). The writer has done a wonderful job of crisp and witty writing
which greatly serves the purpose of keeping the players at the edge of
their seats throughout the game. Both, the cut-scenes and the graphic
novels, are nicely done and maintain the dark mood and the intense
atmosphere of the game.
The story is told in flashback by the character you play as, Max Payne.
A NYPD Detective (New York Police Department), Max Payne is shown as a
family caring man who has refused a job offered by the DEA(Drug
Enforcement Agency) because he then, may have had to go undercover
which would have been bad for his family.
One day, Max returns home to find his house ransacked and his wife and
baby daughter murdered by junkies high on the designer drug V-Valkyr.
It happened on a fateful summer evening three years ago. Now, three
years on, he is shown working as a DEA undercover cop trying to uncover
the mystery behind the drug V.
While on the job, his best friend and fellow partner gets killed by the
Mafioso and Max gets framed for the kill. Now, he is a fugitive running
away from law while trying to get the real killers of his friend and
uncovering the mystery behind the drug V.
The conspirators weren't ready to face the Payne!
Gameplay: 10/10
Now, we come to the game-play of Max Payne. Its game-play is the
biggest highlight of the game. It's incredibly well done and extremely
enjoyable to play. You get the feeling that you are actually watching a
movie.
It brought to fore a new concept in gaming, Bullet Time (ala The
Matrix). The bullet time will help you through thick-and-thin
situations right through the game. The whole idea behind this concept
is to make the game-play more stylish and fun to play. When in bullet
time, you as a player , and all your enemies move in ultra-slow motion
with the added benefit of you being able to aim in normal time while
the enemies aim in slow-motion. However, you will have to use it very
wisely since the use of bullet time is limited and it diminishes with
time. You can, however, regain bullet time by killing more and more
enemies.
Another wonderful addition to bullet time is shoot-dodges, which you
can use either with bullet time or separately. You will either dive
forward/backwards/sidewards or roll forwards/backwards/sidewards
depending on the weapon you may be carrying at that time.
Enemy A.I.: 8.0/10
The enemy A.I. is simple---see you-kill you. Thus, making it both a
good thing and a bad thing! It makes for great, intense and stylish
combat set-pieces. However, it would have been nice if the enemies
could lose your trail, bringing a different kind of strategy to the
fore. But, that's not saying much. It remains a great game through and
through.
Graphics: 9.0/10
Though, the game is quite old, it still looks very good. The textures
and models are nicely detailed and they look realistic. Weapons,
character models, weapon reloading, environment, etc. all look fluent
and realistic. The explosions and flames are nicely done, lending
itself to creating a nice atmosphere. Carnage by bullets and explosions
are permanent and looks good. Death animation of enemies has its
restrictions, though. Also, there is no lip-syncing for the characters
which look odd at times.
Sound: 9.5/10
The voice-over acting in this game is the best you will ever find in
any game. They sound convincing and more! The graphic novels, though
they are great, would have been a big failure if it hadn't been for the
great voice-acting. Voice-acting in this game really makes you fall in
love with the characters. The guns and grenades all sound realistic.
The enemies yell curses at you during fire-fights which add to the
atmosphere. The music of the game, too, is one of the best for any
game, and it goes well with the intense mood of the game.
Controls: 10/10
This game is incredibly easy to control and operate. The features are
very well implemented and the players find it very easy to learn the
moves. You can also change the control set up for the game to any keys
you want to.
Play time
This game can take you anything between 9-12 hours to complete in your
first play through. However, this game has various difficulty modes to
beat.
Replayability: 9.5/10
The game-play is so strong that you can play it multiple times without
getting bored. Once you beat the game for the first time, you can try
to beat the game in higher difficulty modes, which are unlocked one-by-
one as you beat the previous difficulty modes. The game has three
difficulty modes which make the game progressively harder to beat. In
addition to these three difficulty modes, it also has a timed mode to
contain with.
Modifications
The game has quite a few good mods for you to play. And the mod
community for the Max Payne games has gained momentum off-late. So you
can get a few hours game-play out of them.
Overall: 10/10
Recommendation
All said and done, this game will always be remembered for it's story,
it's unique and stylish game-play, it's great characters, and it's
memorable lead protagonist, Max Payne. If you have, by any chance,
missed this gem, go and get it now. It can still bowl you over.
Taste the Payne!!!

"New York City is in crisis tonight, with reports of Valkyr-related
gang war in the streets of the Bronx. Apparently, Max Payne, wanted
for questioning in connection with the slaying of a DEA Special Agent
earlier tonight, is waging a one man war against his former partners
in crime. Among the listed casualties so far, are notorious Mafia
members, Joey and Virgillio Finito, as well as Rico Muerte, himself a
fugitive from the law and a suspect for several murders in the Chicago
area. The NYPD has been placed on full alert. A citywide APB has been
put out on Max Payne. Deputy Chief Jim Bravura has promised to take
whatever steps necessary to bring him to justice. What those steps may
be remains to be seen. For NYCNN TV News, this is Kyra Silver."
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
2) Radio News Broadcaster: You will throughout this game, get regular
updates on the outside world through the radio news.
"In his press conference today, the Mayor stated that Valkyr represents
a clear danger to New York, and called for drastic actions to
eliminate the problem. On todays 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. The gunman has been

Other Things Worth Knowing (480)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
1) Valkyr: It is a drug which plays a very crucial part in the story of
Max Payne. The story closely revolves around this drug and the main
character has a very personal score to settle with the drug and the
people behind it. Valkyr has emerged as one of the biggest problem for
the New York City Police, as it turns its addicts into freaking zombies
from outer space!!!
"Valkyr had been meant to be a white-winged maiden that would lift you
to a warrior's heaven...
But it had turned out to be a one-way demon ride to hell. The devil
was in the drug. I knew. I had met him..."
=======================================================================

relieve your pain.
"The pills would hold the pain back for a while."
=======================================================================
=======================================================================

you a few times in the game. It has a machine gun attached to it.

5) Weapons (500)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

a) Melee Weapons
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
1) Baseball Bat: Useful for breaking small crates and a few other non-
useful things. You can use it on the junkies since they don't attack
you until you mess with them. Useless in fighting against real
enemies.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
2) Lead Pipe: Same as above.
=======================================================================
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

=======================================================================
1) Desert Eagle: A powerful and accurate handgun which can be used to
take on a couple of enemies at one time.
Drawbacks: Clip size is small and slow rate of fire
Clip size: 12
Total ammo: 48
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
2) Beretta: The least powerful weapon in your armory but one of the
most accurate weapon. Also, it fires very fast.
Drawbacks: Not much use.
Clip size: 18
Total ammo: 162

3) Dual Berettas: Same as above, except you carry two of these.
Drawbacks: None. Can be used pretty much anywhere in the first two
parts.
Clip size: 36
Total ammo: 162
=======================================================================
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
c) Shotguns
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
1) Pump-Action Shotguns: This is my personal favorite since it's handy
for most occasions. It is very powerful.
Drawbacks: Slow rate of fire, not efficient at long ranges.
Clip size: 7
Total ammo: 80
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
2) Sawed-off Shotguns: These look cool but not very efficient at
handling more than one enemy at a time since it can hold only two
shells at a time.
Drawbacks: Can hold only two shells, not efficient at long ranges.
Clip size: 2
Total ammo: 80
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
3) Jackhammer: Just like shotgun but can carry 12 shells and has a very
fast rate of fire.
Drawbacks: Limited ammo.
Clip size: 12
Total ammo: 168
=======================================================================
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
d) Automatic Weapons
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
1) Ingrams: A great weapon at short and medium range distance and it
has a very high speed of fire.
Drawbacks: Inaccurate at long ranges.
Clip size: 50
Total ammo: 300
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
2) Dual Ingrams: Same as above except you carry two of these.
Drawbacks: Same as above.
Clip size: 100
Total ammo: 300
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
3) Colt Commando: It looks great, feels great and it is great. Good
rate of fire, accurate and good for long ranges.
Drawbacks: None.
Clip size: 30
Total ammo: 150
=======================================================================
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
e) Throwable Weapons

6) Hints & Tips (600)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
1) Always collect weapons after killing an enemy.
2) Use painkillers, bullet time and shootdodges extensively.
3) Rolling sideways/backwards/forward isn't really useful, since you
can't shoot while doing it. Try not to perform them. They are not
worth it.
4) Quick saves are a must in your first play through. Always quick save
after a tough fire-fight or before venturing into the unknown (new
rooms).
5) Always peek into the room before entering it, using the left or
right side of the doorways. It always useful to know rather than to
speculate the danger awaiting you.
6) If there are too many enemies, then wait and watch their movements
and think out a suitable strategy.
7) If an enemy is holding his position, and you're not in a condition
to attack, then use cover, show yourself and hide to make him fire
at you. And make your move when your enemy is busy reloading.
8) If an enemy is coming towards you, let him come and take cover,
attacking when he is near.
9) If you get your enemy in a state of suppression fire (i.e., shot him
and he is not in a position to shoot back while taking damage) keep
firing with a rapid firing weapon till the enemy's down and out.
10) If you are using a wall or a door as a cover and enemies are
charging at you then follow the following mantra to stay fit :
Step out-shoot once or twice-back to hiding-repeat till all of them
are dead.
11) Once an enemy spots, he will come after you. Be ready for some
action.
12) If you are in a hole, then you can always entice enemies into
following you. Take cover and let them have it once they come after
you.
13) Always try to aim for the head.
14) Keep check of your ammo and bullet time.
15) Make sure to turn off Bullet time as soon as your enemies are dead.
Don't wait for them to fall to the ground. Waste too much Bullet
time.
16) Make a habit of reloading after every fire-fight. It can save your
life.
17) Use the environment to your advantage. Dive behind sofas, chairs,
take cover behind walls, doors, pillars, etc. during fire-fights.
18) You need not shoot al the enemies that you see. Some of them are
often standing near explosive things (i.e., propane tanks, laser
tripwires, explosive drums, etc.) which you can explode to blow a
few enemies at one go.

8) Bullet Time & Shootdodge (800)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
Now, we come to the come to the gameplay of Max Payne. It
brings to fore a new concept in gaming, Bullet Time (ala The Matrix).
The bullet time will help you through thick-and-thin situations right
through the game. The whole idea behind this concept is to make the
gameplay more stylish and fun to play. When in bullet time, you as a
player , and all your enemies move in ultra-slow motion with the added
benefit of you being able to aim in normal time while the enemies aim
in slow-motion. However, you will have to use it very wisely since the
use of bullet time is limited and it diminishes with time. You can,
however, regain bullet time by killing more and more enemies. You can
activate bullet time in three ways:
1) While moving and pressing bullet time/shootdodge combo, you will
perform a shootdodge in slow motion. Bullet time will end when you
stand up again.
2) While standing still and pressing bullet time/shootdodge combo, you
and the world will go into bullet time. You can stop it by pressing
the same button again or performing a shootdodge.
3) Or you can do it by pressing the bullet time only button and stop it
by pressing the same.
Another wonderful addition to bullet time is shootdodges, which
you can use either with bullet time or separately. You will either dive
forward/backwards/sidewards or roll forwards/backwards/sidewards
depending on the weapon you may be carrying at that time.

Chapter 1: Roscoe Street Station
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
A graphic novel.
New York City. Present day. Two nights ago. Roscoe Street Station.
"The feeling hit me like a point-blank shot straight in the face...
Something was not right about this."
A cut-scene.
After a graphic novel followed by a cut-scene, you arrive at an
isolated station, your friend missing, sense of evil and crime high in
the air.
Look on the right side, you will find a locked steel gate. Go
towards it to trigger some dialogues from Max. On the left side, you
will find a door marked 'Personnel Only' leading to a room, go through
it-a cut scene-check all the lockers and cabinets to find some
painkillers and ammo. Go back to the previous room and near the door
leading back to platform. A couple of bad goons have arrived. Kill
them. Show yourself to them and then, quickly hide behind the gate. One
of them will come for you; get a head shot and the other one will hide
behind the barrels. Use the pillars to get near him, shootdodge, aim
for the head, KO. Take their desert eagles. The locked steel gate is
now open.
Go up the stairs, two of them are blocking the passage to the
right, kill them using bullet time/desert eagle. Remember to collect
weapons after every kill. Walk straight, look left, a thug behind the
locked gate, leave him. Turn right and down the stairs. Turn left, go
straight until the next left turn, equip desert eagles, and wait till
he turns and attack. Shotguns. You are now looking at the locked door
to the control room.
Go down the stairs to the right. When nearly down, you will see
a moving thug and a standing one. Shootdodge/shotguns the standing one,
while still in shootdodge, turn right and kill the moving one. If you
got him, good. If you missed him, then he has moved into the room to
your right. This room is not necessary. But we will take a look. Go in,
check their positions by peeking around the walls and kill them. A dead
guard. Check the lockers. At the far end of the room there is a
passage, follow it, you will reach a locked gate, desert eagles to kill
the two goons behind the door. Back out of the room and to the other
side of the floor .First room on the left, one thug and the security
guard (you need him to open the control room), shotgun, and one shot
kill. Check the cabinets in the room at the far end.
Now, back to the floor above, guard will follow you. Wait
outside the locked gate and he will open it-a cut scene-quickly hit the
panel on the right and go into the room and through the next gate and
wait outside the third one. A thug will move just inside the doorway of
the next room, kill him. Shootdodge and hide behind the control panels,
crouch, check their movement and introduce your shotguns to them. Go
into the only new room you can go and switch on the first train control
button. Painkillers.
Go back down to the floor below and enter the train. Hit the
control panel of the train-a cut scene-go out the front door. As soon
as you pass the fallen gate and past the bend, three more goons will
appear. You can kill them by shooting the cylinders but you need to be
quick for that. If not, just use whatever weapon you feel like using.
Go up to the cylinders and up the left staircase to exit the level.

Chapter 2: Live From the Crime Scene
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
A graphic novel.
New York City. Present day. Two nights ago. Unused part of Roscoe
Street Station.
"We come to you now live from the crime scene.
Right back at you."
A cut-scene.
You will start in an old and abandoned part of the station. Go
left; break the crate before turning left. Wait; take a peek around the
right side, a couple of thugs, shootdodge--shotguns to kill them. Check
the crates near the gate. Stand beside the gate, go into bullet time,
exit the door and kill the crook coming upstairs. Go down and you will
find another one at the end of the second set of stairs. Shotguns-
shootdodge--surprise attack. Exit the stairs and you will come out in
an underground tunnel. Go right. Stop when you see a thug. Shotgun
kills him, the other one will hide behind the crates. Quickly take
guard behind the pillar and take him and another one out with your
shotgun. Check the crates for ammo.
Go right and up the stairs. Boom!!! What the hell was that???
Go right in the next room and up another set of stairs and hide behind
a set of crates. You will see a couple of gangsters arguing until one
of them shoots the other. Now quickly kill the remaining one with a
weapon of your choice. You will have got hold of a sawed-off shotgun.
Check the crates. You will also notice a door, go and press the 'use'
key near its handle. It has bomb without a detonator attached to it. It
won't open. Go down the stairs opposite the door. Two more bad ones in
the room below. Use shootdodge--surprise attack to make short work of
them. Proceed right and through the broken wall and stop when you reach
the cell doors.
Their objective is about to become clear. Go into the hallway
and kill the goon with his back to you. Retreat back into the cell.
Three more thugs in that room. Run, dive and hide behind that room's
steel doors and carefully pick two of them and then the third one will
come out running. Kill him. Into the room. Look at the closed door with
a panel to the left. Press it. Door opens and a goon will come out
towards your room. Kill him and the one behind him. Desert eagle and
aim at the robber behind the control panel. Now, shootdodge--surprise
the last one.
Collect the painkillers on the panel, answer the phone, shoot
the alarm. Thank You!!! You will see three panels. Go to Vault C first
if you want to find out what the robbers were after. Then go to Vault A
and collect the detonator. Remember the door with the bomb, your next
destination. Now, press Vault B and head back to that door with the
bomb. But, stop just before the stairs opposite the door. Three robbers
will appear as soon as you take the stairs. Be quick and use berettas
on the first one as soon as you see him. Others are pressing a bench to
block the way. Quickly switch to shotgun/shootdodge and kill them. If
one of them manages to throw a grenade, quickly run away from that
place. After killing them, go to the door handle and press 'use' key to
blow open the door. Take cover behind the crates. A cut scene.
Bang, someone's dead!!! You will see a robber at the top of the
stairs on the far side of the room. Desert eagle to handle him. Two
more will appear and charge towards you with full vengeance.
Shootdodge--desert eagle to kill them. Go to the ticket booth behind
you to collect the painkillers. Now, take the stairs from where the
thugs appeared, right and left. Police sirens. You will notice another
set of three robbers. Shoot kill one of them and retreat away from that
place as one of them may throw a grenade. Now, wait for them to charge
at you and introduce your shotgun to them when they take the turn
towards you. But wait; there is still another one waiting for you in
the next room. Step into the room and shootdodge kill him. Now go to
the booth, press the Exit Door Control lever to open the gate to your
left and collect the painkillers. More sirens. Move out through the
doors and into the open sky and falling snow.

I took my time, thinking about it, building up the rage."
A cut-scene.
Equip M79 and go through the metal detectors. Left and then
look to your right at the far end. Explode the three thugs there.
Proceed, turn left and go to the far end and kiss the metal wall. Turn
back, equip sniper rifle. Notice the position of the three thugs at the
far end, on top of the ramp. And slowly move to your left, into the
long open corridor. Shoot the thug at the topmost ramp quickly. Then
take your sweet time to shoot the two thugs on the lower ramp. Walk
down the new corridor, and shoot the two thugs coming out of the door
on the right at the far corner with M79.
Take that door, and go to the landing of the metal escalator.
Shoot the laser tripwire and toss a grenade at the top landing to blow
another laser tripwire there. Move up the stairs. Use the metal pillar
as cover. A thug appears near the railing at the top to your right.
Kill him. Bullet time and head to your left, shoot the guard at the top
of the escalator. Shoot the tripwire and head up. A thug on the left
near the metal seats and another comes from behind on the right side.
Kill them all and head to your right, into the long corridor. Turn
right, at the end and collect the painkillers. Come back towards the
escalator, and another thug will come from the right side. Kill him and
take that route. Go into the room on the left, and shoot the thug on
the left side of the entrance. Collect the goodies and out of the room.
Shoot the laser tripwire in the middle of the escalator near that room
and head up. Turn around and go to the back of the floor. A thug comes
out of the door on the right. Kill him and enter.
Turn right at the end and you will come across a small corridor
loaded with moving laser tripwires. Save. Move ahead with caution and
shoot the thug that appears as soon as you cross the third tripwire.
Reach the end, equip M79 and enter the room. Blow the thug on the right
and another one behind him. Go through the passageway on the right and
check the cabinet for painkillers. Shoot the two thugs when you come
back, equip M79 and press the lift switch. A graphic novel. Quickly
turn around and backward shootdodge. And blow away the three thugs near
the middle wall. Again press the lift switch. Another graphic novel.
Enter the lift and press the switch. A cut-scene. Equip dual Berettas
and save. Look up and shoot the tripwires as they come near you.
Remember to reload your weapon after every explosion. There are five of
these. After you finish with it, you will arrive in another thug-
infested floor.
Carefully peek around the left corner to find a couple of thugs
patrolling the area. Shoot them in the head. Exit the lift and quickly
hide under the ramp near the dead thugs. Slowly move backwards while
looking up and stop as soon as you see a thug's head on the ramp. Shoot
to kill. Go to the right side of the ramp and do the same. After they
are all dead, make you way to the room behind you. Open the gate and
take cover outside. Kill him when he comes out and enter. Check the
painkiller cabinet and go to the lift control panel on the right side.
Press it twice and go near the right side sliding door. Save. There are
three of them outside. Shootdodge out and kill them with either M79 or
Jackhammer. It may take a few tries. After killing them, head to the
lift under the ramp.
Enter and press the lift switch. You are going up; soon you
will be going down!!! Kiss the left (switch) wall of the lift, as a
helicopter loaded with machine gun will attack. When the right wall
glass breaks, touch it. Left wall glass breaks too. Jump through the
left wall onto the next lift and enter, press switch. You're now going
down.
Peek on the left corner when lift opens. Two thugs are talking.
Blow them away with M79 and retreat into the lift. Switch to colt
commando, shootdodge through the gate and kill a third thug on the
right. Go to your right and peek around the corner. When the coast is
clear, run and take cover behind the security mainframe unit. Snipe the
two thugs at the far end using cover, one by one. Now, shoot two of the
mainframe unit and head to one of the doorway. A couple of guards will
come from the right side lift. Kill them. Now shoot the remaining
mainframe units. And head to the left side lift. A guard is occupying
the lift. Kill him, enter it, and press the switch.
The lift will take you to Horne's office. Exit and take cover
behind the pillar on the right side of the fence. Step forward into the
room and retreat. Three guards will come down the stairs and towards
you. Use Jackhammer to cap them. Take the stairs to the room above and
turn left. Hide behind the pillar as three more thugs are coming for
your head. Waste them all. Go through the sliding doors and approach
the computer table. Activate Horne's private computer. A graphic novel.
Explore the area for another thug if you feel like killing some more
thugs. If not, then head to the left of the computer panel and press
the lift switch to exit the level.

Chapter 8: Pain and Suffering
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
A graphic novel.
New York City. Present day. One night ago. Horne's Penthouse & Rooftop
(Aesir Plaza).
"No begging, no bribes, she knew better-Honor Among Killers,
"We who are about to die."
Both of us knew how this would end.
In Pain and Suffering."
A cut-scene.
You have finally reached Nicole Horne. You are in her penthouse
where you will straight away get to face four thugs. Take cover on the
left side of the partition, behind the chairs and table. Two thugs will
try taking position behind the sculpture on the right side. Use M79 to
kill them. And one more thing, make sure you save at least one shot of
M79 for later. If you only have one right now, then use bullet time-
colt commando to kill those two. Move forward to the edge of the
partition and kill the two thugs when they come for you. The next door
is closed and the blast door covering the entire bigggggggg window on
the right opens up. A cut-scene.
The helicopter is loaded with machine gun and will blast the
entire room. Quickly take cover behind the sculpture and crouch until
the helicopter leaves the party. Two more thugs will come out from the
next door. Kill them and exit the room. Stand outside the lift to kill
another thug. Go through the door opposite the lift and out onto the
balcony. Beyond the railing to the left is a narrow catwalk. Hop onto
it and make your way forward. The chopper will again come to stalk you.
Dive as soon as the helicopter starts firing, and into the next room's
balcony.
Through the sliding door, is a room with many of Nicole Horne's
sculpture collection??? Through the door on the right, take cover
behind the wall on the left of the stairs. A thug comes for you; kill
him and u the stairs. Go to the second landing, and retreat. Boom!!!
Again, go to the second landing and look into the next corridor. A thug
hiding behind a chair. Kiss the wall on the back, zoom in with the
sniper, and slowly move up the stairs until you see the thug, and shoot
to kill. Now, go to the left of the stairs and shoot the thug between
the narrow spaces. Up the stair, and a couple of thugs come out of the
lift on the far end. Kill them and another thug comes out of the door
on the right. Kill him and collect the goodies on the floor.
Stand near the door, show yourself and hide. A couple of thugs
will come for you. Kill them. Enter and kill the remaining thug.
Collect the ammo near the thugs' seating place. Go to the left of the
sliding door on the right and peek inside. A couple of thugs on the
left. Toss a grenade and boom!!! Collect ammo from near them and head
through the door on the right. Carry forward, and another thug comes
out of the room on the right. Kill him and carry forward. Another thug
is waiting near the bottom of the stairs on the right. Kill him and up
the stairs.
This is the last room of this game. Go forward until you reach
the end of the wall on the left, and a thug will come out from the
right side. Backward shootdodge kills him. Peek around the corner to
your left. Three more thugs to take care of. Show yourself to them, and
they will come for you. Pick them off as they come. Now, go to the
table at the end. Press the switch on the left side of the computer
table to reveal a door on the left side wall. Go through it and up the
stairs. Shootdodge when Nicole Horne starts to shoot at you. Through
the door at the top. A cut-scene.
You will see that Nicole Horne is on the other side of the roof
and you can't reach her. As you would have noticed, two of the swaying
tower's moorings are broken. You need to break the remaining two
moorings. You can relax for a minute, if you want to. A cut-scene. A
one-minute countdown has begun. Four thugs appear from behind, through
the sliding glass door. Equip and shoot M79 at them. Take cover behind
the cabin on the left and kill whoever survived the attack. Go to the
right side and stand near the mooring. You need to shoot the white and
yellow bolt the cable is attached to. Out onto the metal parapet it was
attached to, and look to your right, on the other side of the roof. You
will notice the second cable mooring. Zoom in and snipe it. Then, shoot
at the metal tower and watch the cool cut-scene.
If you didn't wait for a minute: Go to the right side and stand
near the mooring. You need to shoot the white and yellow bolt the cable
is attached to. Shoot it and four thugs appear from behind, through the
glass sliding door. A one-minute countdown has begun. Equip and shoot
M79 at them. Take cover behind the cabin on the left and kill whoever
survived the attack. Now, go back near the first mooring, out onto the
metal parapet it was attached to, and look to your right, on the other
side of the roof. You will notice the second cable mooring. Zoom in and
snipe it. Then, shoot at the metal tower and watch the cool cut-scene.

11) Easter Eggs & Fun Facts(Most of them are taken from Gamefaqs)(1100)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
Tutorial level
=======================================================================
1) Secret Area: In the tutorial stage, jump on the van where you got
the sniper rifle. Then jump to the square thingy on the wall. From
there, jump to the fire escape balcony. Go up 3 floors and destroy the
glass window. Voila!!! A secret room with a new gun.
I got the hint at the end of the tutorial where it says: ''Or you can
continue exploring the rest of the environment...''
Contributed By: devil
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
2) "All Your Base": In the training level, look closely at the sign on
the TAR CAFE (it's near the Police Mobile Arrest Centre on the street).
It says:
''World's Best Since 1964
615 ALL YOUR BASE ARE..."
Contributed By: Pyro Vesten
=======================================================================
P1C2- Live From The Crime Scene
=======================================================================
3) Thank You: There are (at least?) two parts in the game where Max
will thank you for shooting something -- the first is in the bank's
vault where the nosy alarms are going off. Shoot the red alarm hanging
above the security area. The second is in Lupino's hotel when you enter
the elevator and it's playing ''muzak''. Shoot out the speaker in the
ceiling to the
right after entering
Contributed By: Phased_5EK
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
4) War Of The Rats: You can cause the rats to war amongst themselves.
Use the developer command line cheat and give yourself a grenade (
then ''getgrenade'' in the console) at the start of the level. Toss it
in the gap of broken titles after the initial level start camera
panning. This will cause the mission objectives to change to ''I had
declared war against the rats''. As you progress through the level, you
will come across the two factions of rats -- WITH DESERT EAGLES! Shoot
at one of the ceiling lamps that's off at its base to make it fall,
causing the start of the war. If your group of rats wins, they will
join forces and follow you through the rest of the level. If the other
rats win, they'll turn their remaining forces on you.
Contributed By: Phased_5EK
=======================================================================
P1C3-Playing It Bogart
=======================================================================
5) Vampire: There is a door that you can break down (just before the
toppling boiler). Go through the door and out a window. After following
the bloodstains on the ledge, you'll come to another window to go
through after bashing in. Lots of goodies here, and also a body with a
stake in its back on the floor with the letters ''BUFF'' drawn next to
it in blood - a little tip of the hat to a famous vampire slayer.
Contributed By: Phased_5EK
=======================================================================
P1C6-Fear That Gives Men Wings
=======================================================================
6) Soldier Of Fortune 2 Room: During the chase across the rooftop,
inspect the dark window at the back to find a room with ammo and
Soldier Of Fortune 2: Double Helix posters
Contributed By: goldenX87
=======================================================================
P1C7-Police Brutality
=======================================================================
7) Secret Room: Near the end of the chase in part 1 chapter 7, when it
shows Gognitti trying to get into a door (yelling punching and
kicking). Go behind the satellite dish and jump down onto the ledge of
the opposite building. From there you can jump down under the emergency
stairway beside the basketball court. Funny poster inside ''Dopefish
lives!'', Molotov cocktails, and other weapons.
Contributed By: TaX
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
8) A Secret Enemy In A Secret Van: In the basketball courtroom, go to
the fenced off gate on the far right corner of the court, and shoot the
passing van. That van will stop and a man will come out with a shotgun
in hand. You can shoot him.
Contributed By: I found it myself and am surprised not to find it
listed in Gamefaqs.
=======================================================================
P1C8-Ragna Rock
=======================================================================
9) Musical Instruments: There are several instances where Max will do
something when you ''use'' a music-related item. In the Ragna Rock
club, you can play a rim-shot on the drums, walk across the guitar to
get a twang noise, or use one of the mics to have him say ''Karaoke was
never my thing.'' Later in the game when in the Punchinello manor, you
can have Max try a few -- unsuccessful! -- times to play the theme of
the game on the piano [make sure you have not knocked out the lid
support before doing this].
Contributed By: Phased_5EK
=======================================================================
P3C3-The Deep Six
=======================================================================
10) Turn Off Klaxon Sirens: While in the underground portion of the
Cold Steel plant (Project Valhalla labs), you can turn off the annoying
klaxons -- the Max Payne way! Any time you hear a siren blaring, look
around the ceiling for the loud speakers. They are usually located by a
doorway, except in the main control room where they are near the middle
of the room's ceiling. Pop a round or two in to them and the god-awful
noise will stop in that vicinity. Klaxon.
Contributed By: Phased_5EK
=======================================================================
P3C4-Backstabbing Bastard
=======================================================================
11) Developer Message: On the level where you are confronting B.B. on
the parking garage, there is a hidden area where you can get a sniper
rifle & ammo. Before going down the first ramp that leads deeper in to
the garage, jump on the various objects by the entrance to the lower
levels to get on a roof with a small metal-walled building on top. Bash
on all the walls with the bat until a panel falls away and then go
inside. Once inside, you'll also see a radio you can turn on to hear a
rather humorous message from a couple of the game's developer.
Contributed By: Phased_5EK
=======================================================================
P3C5-In The Land Of The Blind
=======================================================================
12) Secret Room: In the second part of the Asgard Building, after
picking up the video tape and watching the TV news report about Aesir
Corp being a huge monopoly, there is a small, dark room with a table,
couch etc. Shoot the small painting to make it fall off and a small
white button is revealed. Press this button to make the couch behind
you rise. Go down underneath it and use the control panel to open the
door. Inside, switch the TV on to hear a funny version of Star Trek
(called the Void) and open the cupboard behind the curtain to find,
er...something else.
Contributed By: Crono667
=======================================================================
P3C8--Pain and Suffering
=======================================================================
13) Secret Sliding Floor: In the last room, before going to the
building's roof, there is a switch on the fourth pillar on the right.
You can press it to reveal a sliding floor in the middle of the room.
You can see into the room below (which is the one you came through
earlier).
Contributed By: I found it myself and am surprised not to find it
listed in Gamefaqs.

14) Bad Ending: To view the 'bad ending' of Max Payne, just let the
helicopter on the final level take off.

After P3C8 Ending
=======================================================================
15) Secret Area: If you manage to beat Max Payne on the hardest
difficulty setting, after the game ends you will appear in a secret
area in which Max is in permanent bullet time. There's a bunch of
jackhammer ammo lying around, some painkillers and a few other things.
There are around 20 guards waiting for you. After defeating all of the
guards the game says "Well Done" and you'll be able to access a room
with photographs of the development team, a special Remedy logo and
some other things.

16) Endless Empty Clips: When reloading a gun like the Double Beretta

do this an unlimited number of times.

13) Question Hour (1300)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Q1) Omg, what happened to Mona Sax??? Is she really dead???
A: Maybe, maybe not. This game doesn't say anything regarding her
whereabouts after the incident. Wait till you play Max Payne 2. That
should answer your queries regarding Mona Sax.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
2) Why is Alex Balder bald???
A: Umm...maybe working for the DEA gobbled up his hair from the top
floor.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
3) What happened to Vinnie Gognitti??? Did Max kill him or not???
A: Max didn't kill him. He just filled up his body with bullets and
left him in the back alley. Why did he do that??? No idea. Maybe,
because he felt pity for the pathetic loser.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
4) And what about Vladimir Lem???
A: What about him??? Wait till you play Max Payne 2 for some news about
him.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
5) Did Nicole Horne really die in that last helicopter sequence???
A: She is officially done and dusted with in this game.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
6) What is the time that the events in the game unfold in???
A: Two days and two/three nights. The prologue of the first chapter is
based three years ago.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
7) So, what you are saying is that Max kills over 650 people in less
than 60 hours???
A: Exactly.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
8) Is beating the game in higher difficulty setting worth it???
A: If you're looking for a special ending, then you will be
disappointed big time. But, you will unlock a new secret level with
altered physics by beating the game on the highest difficulty setting.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
9) Is the New York Minute Mode beatable???
A: Yep, it is. Use judgment and precision. Don't waste time going for
out-of-the-way enemies which you can avoid. No need to collect all the
ammo and painkillers. No need to check all the lockers, closets,
shelves or rooms either.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
10) Does this game have a sequel???
A: Yep. It's called Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. It was released
in the fall of 2003. If you loved this game, then wait till you play
the second one. It will blow you away.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
11) Is this game a PC Exclusive???
A: Nope. You can find this game for various consoles including Xbox,
Playstation 2, and even handheld consoles.
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
12) Can I email you for help or query???
A: You can. But make sure it's not about something stupid. And also,
there's a high possibility that I won't answer you back.
