Max Payne is back and badder than ever! Older and 20 pounds heavier, Max still maintains his Bachelors (BA) in bad-assery. Rockstar enhanced the game’s signature mechanic “bullet time.” Bullet time “will allow players to choreograph their own incredibly stylish and deadly shootouts.” Functionally, the mechanic slows time while allowing Max to aim in real time. It affords Max the ability to deliver precision shots when he is vastly outnumbered and outgunned.
Running and gunning in Max Payne will have you pushing up daisies quickly. Strategic use of bullet time evens up the odds and keys survival. Replenishing bullet time depends on “the risks you take, level of skill and the precision of shots.” Max’s “shoot dodge” mechanic also returns. Shoot dodge allows Max to avoid gunfire, expand his range of movement and gain the advantage on his enemies. Other enhancements include improved game physics, motion capture and enemy AI and final killcams that the player can control! Check it out!
