Game Description
A retired cop turns into a vigilante and hunts down scummy drug dealers in this gritty third-person action shooter. Max Payne mixes cutscenes and bloody shoot outs to deliver a cinematic journey through the worst parts of city life.

Packed with an impressive array of weaponry, voiceover, and light puzzles, this action title is not for the squeamish.
