Product Description

Max Payne™ is the long-awaited, third-person action shooter game based in New York's grimy underworld. The game features a strong storyline about a man who is framed for murder and now is hunted by cops and the mob. Players assume the role of Max, an undercover cop, who is fighting for justice while uncovering plot twists and enemies in a gritty underworld of New York during the century's worst blizzard. The high intensity gunplay combined with realistic particle physics and moment-to-moment movie sequences illuminate the action and take gaming realism to new heights. A unique feature called "bullet time", first introduced in the blockbuster movie, The Matrix, plays a key part in the game. When gamers perform certain dives or rolls, they can slow time, which offers a great advantage in battle.

MAX PAYNE STRATEGY GUIDE
Well i bought this book for the PC and wasnt that impressed, to be honest the game is not that difficult to complete without the book. However saying that, there are a few sections where the book comes in very handy and the tips that it gives allow you to quickly progress to the next stage of the game. I can assure you that there is nothing worse then runiing around a level for 10 minutes lookign for the exit, its gets very annoying.

Final verdict, a good buy if you are looking to complete the game extremely quickly, but no essential to finish the game.
