Max Payne
Max Payne is a third-person shooter video game developed by the Finnish company Remedy Entertainment, produced by 3D Realms and published by Gathering of Developers in July, 2001 for Windows. Ports later in the year for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 were published by Rockstar Games. A Macintosh port was published in July 2002 by MacSoft in North America[5] and Feral Interactive in the rest of the World. There were plans for a Dreamcast version of Max Payne, but they were canceled due to the discontinuation of the console.[6]
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
At the ending of Max Payne, Max was being led away in the back of a police car, about to face charges for his two or three night killing spree in which he killed upwards of 600 people, even though they all had criminal records. However, Max was eventually cleared of all charges, thanks to his relationship with a very influential member of society, Senator Alfred Woden. A few years have passed, and Max has returned to work for the NYPD as a homicide detective. However, during a routine murder investigation he finds himself face-to-face with the fugitive Mona Sax, a woman he thought was dead. Max and Mona team up to solve the answers to Max's past that left his wife and child dead. Between them and the answers they seek rests an army of scum and murderous thugs in New York City's underground.
Max Payne (Game Boy Advance)
The Game Boy Advance version of the game was developed by Mobius Entertainment Ltd, now known as Rockstar Leeds. Since it was developed on a far less powerful platform, the GBA version differs greatly from the PC versions and its Xbox and PlayStation 2 ports: instead of a 3D shooter, the game is shown from an isometric perspective, and uses extremely low-polygon models over a static pre-rendered background. The gameplay features have remained mostly the same, however, and is actually very similar to the original, the perspective change aside. The story also remained the same as in PC and console versions, though some levels from the original are omitted. The game even includes quite a large part of the original's graphic novel sections, complete with voice-overs.
Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3, developed by Rockstar Vancouver, will find Max in a "downward spiral" following the events of the second game, according to a press release from Rockstar Games. He is now 12 years older, has left the NYPD and New York itself and after being double-crossed, finds himself in a "city full of violence and bloodshed". The game is scheduled for release in 2010 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[7] Max now works for a security firm in Brazil, and his appearance is considerably different from that of the originals.link title
