Remedy's 2001 PC exclusive, Max Payne, was something the likes of which we'd never seen before.

" I vividly recall the rainy summer months of 2001. August was particularly dreary. Not just because of the consistent cloud cover and lengthy thunderstorms, but because that month was the first time I got my hands on Remedy Entertainment's masterwork third-person shooter, Max Payne. For a 14-year-old kid that was just getting into videogames, falling in love with Hollywood action films, and truly embracing the thought of a future in game development, Max Payne was a Godsend. The visuals (by 2001"
"Ehkä hiukan negatiiviset mielikuvat oli kun tämä aikanaan julkaistiin, mutta nyt ensimmäisen läpipeluukerran jälkeen osoittautui kuitenkin ihan kivaksi yllätykseksi.

"The original bullet-time hero is back! This time Max Payne is in the more than capable hands of Rockstar Games.
I have to say, Max Payne may be one of the more depressing characters in video games.

Maxilla rupeaa ikä painamaan ja päihderiippuvuudet ovat pääkopan riesana. Silti äijä tappaa niin jalkapallostadionilla kuin favelassa, muttei kuitenkaan ole mikään supermies. Tässä pelissä vastustajat ovat aivan liian tarkkoja, lisäksi tekoäly on hyvä, joten useamman miehen kaatamiseen voi tarvita hieman harkintakykyä ja bullet timen oikeanlaista käyttöä. Kuolemasta voi vielä selvitä hengissä, kunhan vain saa kertalaakilla pudotettua ampujan.
Toteutukseltaan raina on "

Culling inspiration from Hong Kong action films, the slow-motion, Bullet Time-infused shootouts of The Matrix, and the dark, foreboding atmosphere of '40s & '50s noir cinema, Remedy created something wholly unique and innovative.
Max Payne and its sequel, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne never suffered the fate of innumerable rip-offs and imitators, although the series' success certainly inspired other developers to craft more cinematic and story-driven games. If Valve's Half-Life was the precursor to the cinematic action game, then by com” read more
