Max Payne is a story-driven 3rd person action game aimed for a mature audience.Two camera modes show the grim present day New York City setting and the gunplay action from the best possible angles. The follow-up mode tails Max Payne, as he runs, his guns blazing and his long leather jacket flapping, through trash littered alleys and cockroach crawling hotel rooms. [images]The cinematic camera provides 'director's cut' pre-set views to dramatic scenes, be it in a deep-shadowed slum, or in an all sleek and sexy art deco skyscraper.Realistic weapon setup includes over a dozen real-life guns, all fitting the crime-story setting like a bullet in the head.[images]The action is surrounded with more than 80 hand-painted comic-screens that enhance the game's dark and gritty atmosphere and attitude, introduce the game's murderous cast of characters and carry the twisting roller coaster plot from one action location to the next.
