Trivia
Max Payne kills literally hundreds of people in this game. The total count for the entire game is 662, but one kill is included for a dream sequence. The total number of kills in the actual game is 661.

Goofs
A .50 AE caliber Desert Eagle holds 8 rounds (7 in the magazine 1 in the chamber), not 12. A semi-automatic pistol is capable of holding magazines of potentially any size, and it is not impossible that an extended magazine was not being used.

Quotes
Max Payne: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Crazy credits
After the credits, when you complete the game, the following text appears on the screen: Max Payne has only started his journey through the night. The pain has only just begun. More will follow.

Alternate versions
The Xbox version differs even from PS2.
Auto saves and quick saves are still present from PC.
Red brackets were added around the highlighted menu options.
An even different graphic novel font is used than PS2.
The graphic novel panel for Backstabbing Bastard uses the same image as PC, just with the towers removed.
Different menu backgrounds are used.

One of the finest actiongames ever created

COMMENT FOR THE PC-VERSION:

"Max Payne" is brilliant. You just cannot say it in any other way. MP is a super-cool actiontitle that uses the so-called bullet-time effect to create extremely stylish shoot-outs where the main character Max Payne constantly dives into bloody gun-fights. Playing it again over 2 years since its first release still confirms its excellent quality, and it is a game that easlily passes the test of time. Some people may argue that this game is only inspired by "The Matrix", which is not correct. John Woo`s brilliant actionmovies like "Hard-Boiled" and "The Killer" are both among the most important source of inspiration for the Finnish developers. I can guarantee that if you give this one a go, then you will be hooked.
