O portare pentru Mac a fost publicată în Iulie 2002 de MacSoft în America de Nord și de Feral Interactive în restul lumii. Au existat planuri pentru o versiune a Dreamcast a Max Payne dar proiectul a fost anulat datorită discontinuitatii consolei. Max Payne a fost relansat în Aprilie 2009 ca un joc descărcabil în programul Xbox Originals pentru Xbox 360.
Spre deosebire de alte jocuri video, Max Payne nu folosește obișnuitele filmuleție cinematografice pentru a face legatură între nivele sau evenimente. Acestea sunt înlocuite de "graphic novel", similare cu benzile desenate, dar având sunet, imagini si voci de înaltă calitate.
Firul poveștii se concentrează in jurul lui Max Payne, un polițist de la NYPD (Departamentul de Poliție din New York) a cărui viața este dată peste cap atunci când iși găsește soția si fiica sa acasă omorate de mai mulți dependeți de droguri. Acțiunea se mută trei ani mai târziu, protagonistul lucrând sub acoperire in cadrul DEA-ului. Max lucrează la un caz implicând familia Punchinello, grup ce are legatură cu Mafia.
Rezolvarea cazului îi va aduce lui Max răspunsuri la multe întrebari din trecutul său, mai ales despre adevaratul mobil din spatele uciderii soției și fiicei sale.
ENGLEZA/ENGLISH:
Max Payne is a third-person shooter video game series developed by Remedy Entertainment (Max Payne and Max Payne 2) and Rockstar Studios (Max Payne 3). The series is named after its protagonist, Max Payne, a New York City police officer turned vigilante after his family had been murdered by drug dealers. The series' first and second installments were written by Sam Lake, while Max Payne 3 was primarily written by Rockstar Games' Dan Houser.
The first game of the series Max Payne, was released in 2001 for Microsoft Windows and in 2002 for Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Apple Macintosh; a different version of the game was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. A sequel entitled Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne was released in 2003 for Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows. In 2008, a movie adaption, loosely based on the original game, entitled Max Payne was released, distributed by 20th Century Fox, starred by Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in the roles of Max Payne and Mona Sax, respectively. Max Payne 3 was developed by Rockstar Studios and released on May 15, 2012 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and on June 1, 2012 for Microsoft Windows.
The franchise is notable for its use of "bullet time" in action sequences, as well as being positively received by critics, although Max Payne 2's sales were considered underwhelming. As of 2011, the Max Payne franchise has sold over 7.5 million copies. The film rendition received negative reviews but was commercially successful.
Renegade DEA agent and former NYPD officer Max Payne attempts to hunt down the ones responsible for murdering his wife and child, as well as framing him for the murder of his partner, Alex Balder. As the story unfolds he gains a number of "allies", including a Russian mafia gangster, called Vladimir Lem, and Mona Sax, a female vigilante who is out to avenge the death of her twin sister, Lisa, and manages to bring down the ring-leaders in a major drug-operation for a narcotic called V or Valkyr—after the mythological figures in Norse mythology
