A NYC detective living the American dream

The Max Payne saga began in 2001 when a relatively unknown Finnish developer named Remedy crafted the original title for the PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2. Billed as the ultimate tribute to classic John Woo films, Max Payne tells the story of an NYC detective living the American dream, until a gang of junkies violently murders his family, sending Payne on a vengeful rampage to discover the truth. This seemingly average plot was narrated with a film noir style reminiscent of the hard-boiled detective fiction found in the early 1930s.
