About

Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder and now hunted by cops and the mob. Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for pain...
Developed by Remedy Entertainment and produced by 3D Realms, Max Payne is a relentless story-driven game about a man on the edge, fighting for his justice while uncovering plot-twists and twisted thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard. Max Payne is an original third-person 3D game based on the MAX-FX engine and uses photo-digitized textures and radiosity lighting, resulting in one of the most realistic looking games ever seen on the PC.

I'm glad remedy is taking their time with the remakes, it's obviously going to be more than just a port or cleanup.

Max Payne reviews and comments

Completed as of writing this review: Base Game.

The classic and sad tale of Max Payne. This game is kind of a simple, but also a challenging shooter with beautiful dark storytelling. It can get tedious at times when bullets from enemies insta-kill you, but it's also challenging in interesting ways, for example where you need to shoot to progress. It's also interesting to see how the plot progresses and what kind of shenanigans wait for Max along the way. Plus extra points for visual novel style cutscenes.
