About This Game

Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, hunted by cops and the mob, Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Max Payne is a relentless story-driven game about a man on the edge, fighting to clear his name while struggling to uncover the truth about his slain family amongst a myriad of plot-twists and twisted thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard.

The groundbreaking original cinematic action-shooter, Max Payne introduced the concept of Bullet Time® in videogames. Through its stylish slow-motion gunplay combined with a dark and twisted story, Max Payne redefined the action-shooter genre.

Max Payne has aged like fine wine. The bullet time still thrills, making every gunfight feel cinematic. Its graphic novel-style storytelling is amazing , pulling you into Max’s dark world. Even after all these years, it’s a moody, unforgettable ride that still hits just as hard.

Abandonware This game will not run by itself with a fresh install on modern systems. You'll need to search and download "Max Payne 1 Complete FixPack (2025 Edition)" There should be a steam guide there. I automatically give a thumbs down review anytime the community has to fix your product.

One of my favourite games when I played it in 2002 and to replay it again in 2025 was amazing. It runs not well on new PC's but thanks to the Steam workshop patches it runs and looks even better than before. Great game!

Great game but a terrible port. Audio barely works and many, including myself, needed to install a patch for the game to even launch. Didn't even know the comics had voice acting until I looked online
