Max Payne

Visão geral do jogo

Sobre o jogo

Max Payne é um homem que não tem nada a perder na violenta e fria noite urbana. Policial fugitivo disfarçado acusado de assassinato, caçado pela polícia e pela máfia, Max é um homem encostado na parede, travando uma batalha que não tem esperança de vencer. Max Payne é um jogo implacável baseado em uma história sobre um homem no limite, lutando para limpar seu nome enquanto luta para descobrir a verdade sobre sua família assassinada em meio a uma miríade de reviravoltas na trama e bandidos distorcidos nas entranhas arenosas de Nova York durante a pior nevasca do século. O inovador jogo de ação cinematográfico original, Max Payne introduziu o conceito de Bullet Time nos videogames. Através de seu elegante tiroteio em câmera lenta combinado com uma história sombria e distorcida, Max Payne redefiniu o gênero de tiro de ação.

História

In December 2001, as New York City is enduring the tail end of the worst snow blizzard in the history of the city, Max Payne, a renegade DEA agent and former NYPD detective, is standing at the top of a skyscraper with a sniper rifle in his hands, smiling, as police units arrive on the scene to arrest him. He then experiences flashbacks from three years ago and the last two days he experienced. Three years earlier, on August 22nd 1998, Max was working as a regular NYPD detective, having just finished his day's work. His longtime friend and DEA agent, Alex Balder, invites him to transfer into the DEA, but Max declines the offer, wanting to focus on his full-time life with his wife, Michelle, and their newborn daughter, Rose. As he returns to his house in New Jersey, he finds that a trio of junkies had broken into his house, all addicted on a brand new designer drug, Valkyr. Max receives a call from a mysterious woman who seems pleased at the trouble in the house and refuses to call for help. Max rushes to aid his family and kill the junkies, but is too late as he finds his wife shot dead, and his daughter slaughtered. After his family's funeral, Payne accepts Alex's offer, and transfers to the DEA at his own request to stop the spreading of the drugs.
