About this game

Undercover cop Max Payne is caught between the police and the mob while investigating the drug Valkyr and the violence that shattered his family. Graphic-novel scenes tell a noir revenge story through the streets and criminal hideouts of New York. Move through each area, shoot enemies, switch weapons and search drawers, lockers and control panels for supplies or clues. Trigger Bullet Time to slow the surrounding action, or combine movement with it for a shootdodge. The hourglass drains while slow motion is active and recovers as enemies are defeated. Use painkillers to recover health, complete a level and save your progress, then return with Continue Game or revisit unlocked levels.
