[October 4th, 2006] [45KB] =============================================================================== 04.......Story =============================================================================== Max re-joins the NYPD, working as a detective under Jim Bravura. He encounters Mona Sax during a murder investigation. Mona is the suspect in a major murder case. Can Mona release Max from the nightmares that still haunt him, or will a group of thugs attempt to bring him down in his quest for peace? =============================================================================== 05.......Controls =============================================================================== These are the default controls... DPAD: Change weapon. Left Analog: Move character. Right Analog: Aim weapon. Triangle: Reload weapon. Circle: Take a painkiller. X: Jump and roll Square: Zoom in with scoped weapon/Examine information. L1: Shootdodge. L2: Activate Bullet Time. L3: Crouch. R1: Shoot/use weapon. R2: Alternative attack. Select: Go to main menu. Start: Pause game. =============================================================================== 06.......Bullet Time/Shootdodge =============================================================================== Bullet time is even more effective than it was in the previous game. If bullet time is activated, the action around you will slow down, but you'll still be able to aim your weapon(s) in real time. If you take a number of enemies out in a short amount of time, the bullet time icon will turn yellow, giving Max an advantage over his enemies, due to their movement being slowed down. Bullet time can be increased by taking out enemies. Shootdodge is slighly different this time. If you're surrounded by numerous enemies from different angles, it's advised that you use bullet time instead. This feature could make Max stay down for longer, allowing the enemy to hit him with a plethora of bullets. I'd advise you to use this feature when encountered by a few enemies. =============================================================================== 07.......Weapons/Items =============================================================================== There are a lot of weapons in the game. Some of them are useful when facing a small number of enemies, whereas others are more useful when encountered by a lot of enemies. Here is some information on them... ------------------- Alternative Attack ------------------- You can hit someone with the side of your weapon. Only useful against un-armed enemies. ----------- 9mm Pistol ----------- The basic handgun used by most enemies in the game. An accurate weapon and good from any range. Useful against the weaker enemies in the game. ----------------- Dual 9mm Pistols ----------------- Especially useful when in bullet time. Useful in gunfights with numerous, heavily armed enemies. ------------- Desert Eagle ------------- Isn't too useful from range but can be deadly when used at close range. I wouldn't advise you to use this weapon when facing a lot of enemies, as you'd have to constantly reload, making it difficult to effectively take down any approaching enemies. ------------------- Dual Desert Eagles ------------------- Fantastic. Useful in firefights and extremely deadly from close range. Can be useful in bullet time. -------------------- Pump-Action Shotgun -------------------- Only useful from close range. Only use this weapon when encountered by one or two enemies. ------------------ Sawed-Off Shotgun ------------------ The Pump-Action Shotgun is generally better. Carries two shells in the chamber, explaining why the other shotgun is better. ------- Ingram ------- A small machine gun reminiscent of the Uzi. A powerful and accurate weapon from almost any range. ------------- Dual Ingrams ------------- Deadly. When using these in bullet time, a rain of bullets will take your enemy down almost instantly. ---- MP5 ---- A sub-machine gun. This weapon has a scope attached to it, has a decent range of fire, and can take down almost any enemy in the game. ------------ Kalashnikov ------------ A powerful assault rifle. This weapon is decent from range, has a good clip size, and can fire a number of bullets in quick succession. ----------- M4 Carbine ----------- In my view, this is the most deadly and accurate weapon in the game. Useful against any enemy. ------------- Sniper Rifle ------------- Useful from any range. Extremely powerful and accurate. Has a basic scope attached to it. Crouch and activate bullet time to get a steady shot. --------- Dragunov --------- Not as useful as the above. It is just as powerful, but it can be difficult using it effectively, due to the scope being hard to use. -------- Striker -------- The most effective shotgun in the game. Has a decent clip size and isn't too bad from medium range. Extremely useful in bullet time. --------- Grenades --------- Useful for taking down enemies that are hiding behind corners or are using cover. Keep your distance. ------------------ Molotov Cocktails ------------------ A bottle filled with flammable liquid. When thrown, a ring of fire will erupt around the area and direction it was thrown in. ------------- Painkillers ------------- Available throughout various parts of the game. If Max's health is low, he can take a painkiller, which will increase his health. When engaging in vicious firefights with a number of enemies, it is always good to have a large amount of painkillers available. =============================================================================== 08.......Characters/Enemies =============================================================================== This section will contain information on the characters and enemies that will appear in the game. *************************************************************** NOTE: This section containers SPOILERS.

Speak to Mike and tell him to assist you in your fight against the mobsters. Go upstairs. Once you've reached the top, tell Mike to stay put. You don't want to go in the next room all guns blazing, as it is full of explosives, that could take you and Mike out. After you've killed the mobsters, go back to Mike and tell him to follow you.

Make your way to the utility room, killing the three cleaners that attempt to ambush you. As you're making your way back to Max's apartment, three cleaners will come running down the steps. Once you've dealt with them, head into the apartment, jump onto the ledge below, and go all the way across. Violet and the old man will attempt to provide cover for you. If any cleaners are stopping you from getting across, throw a Grenade or Molotov in their direction. Jump onto the platform below. As it starts to fall, jump to the right and then to the left.

Go upstairs, go through the blue double doors, and find a place to hide. Kill the cleaners that are talking about Kaufman. Head upstairs and enter the double doors. Stand back, throw your Grenade in the room, and wait for the explosives to destroy the elevator. Drop down into the next area. Enter the door on your right. Kill all of the cleaners located around the area. Once you've collected weapons and ammo, enter the door at the far end. Keep walking along until you can go through the double doors. Thugs will try to surround you from both sides of the room. Once you've killed them, go through the set of doors at the end of the room. Go all the way up, killing every cleaner that gets in your way. Bullet time can be extremely useful, as it's likely you'll be up against a number of heavily armed enemies. When you get to the far end of the room, there will be numerous cleaners hiding behind cover. Once you've taken care of them, make your way through the grey door, using bullet time to effectively take down the cleaners. Walk across the plank of wood and slowly make your way through the next door. There are a lot of gaps in the floor, so if you aren't extremely careful, Max will fall to his death. Enter the door on the left. ------------------------- Chapter Two Continued... ------------------------- Collect all of the guns, ammo and painkillers. Head upstairs and go through the double doors.

Enter the door and turn left. ========================== Chapter Three: Blowing Up ========================== Avoid the explosions and flames. Head through the door, turn right, and keep walking along until you see the floor explode. Enter the door on your right and instantly roll backwards. The cleaner will shoot at you, but will more than likely hit the explosives, destroying the room. You'll see a crack in the wall. Shoot the explosives to open the wall up. Carefully jump onto the platform. Slowly make your way across and keep moving. Carefully jump down. Kill the cleaners at the bottom. Slowly keep walking along, avoiding any falling objects along the way. Let the cleaners come towards you. Once you've dealt with them, use the hole in the floor to make your way into the next area. Jump down, make your way through the double doors, turn right, and shoot the explosives blocking your path. Go through the open wall on the left.

Once you've dealt with them, backtrack through the building until you come to the elevator shaft. Kill the cleaners and commandos below. Keep walking until you come to another set of commandos. Kill them. Make your way all the way down, killing every commando that gets in your way. Once you're outside, snipe the two cleaners above.

Run out of the door and knock the commando down. Quickly run through the red double doors and run up the first three set of stairs. Run through the red doors. Turn left and go all the way around.

Collect the weapons and painkillers near the set of explosives. Go through the door that the mobsters came through. Go through the brown door near the end of the room. Use bullet time to successfully take out the three mobsters below. Snipe the mobster above. He has a Striker, so I'd advise you to be extremely careful. Make your way upstairs, killing the two mobsters that attempt to take you out from the side. Go through the brown double doors at the end. Kill the two mobsters as soon as you enter. Go through the door on the right and make your way to the top. Once you're at the top, shootdodge to the right, killing the sole mobster. Go through the double doors. Carefully enter the door on the left. There are two mobsters talking. There are also tons of explosives, so it wouldn't be clever to go in all guns blazing. Go through the yellow doors but DO NOT shoot. There is a cardboard cut out of a guard. There are explosives near it, so it's likely that Max will die if he gets hit. Kill the two mobsters at the end.

Wait for the two commandos to come through the green door. Once you've killed them, make your way upstairs. Kill the commando at the top. Go upstairs, shoot the explosives near the wall, go through the wall, enter the door on the left, and make your way through the next hole. Go through the white door and make your way into the next area. Go down the first set of stairs and take a left. Enter the door at the end, killing the lone mobster. Activate bullet time and slowly walk across the ramp, through the next hole in the wall. Mobsters will try to shoot you below, so bullet time can be useful in avoiding excessive damage. Go up the first set of stairs and enter the door. Turn right and kill the two mobsters. Carefully walk across the ramp, go through the hole in the wall, and enter the door at the end of the room. --------------------------- Chapter Three Continued... --------------------------- Follow the mobsters, assisting them in their fight against Vlad's cleaners and commandos. Once all the commandos and cleaners are dead, a mobster will tell his friends that you're Max Payne. Kill the mobsters. Go through the green door, use bullet time to take out the thugs near the van, and keep walking forward to trigger a cutscene. ======================================== Chapter Four: Dearest of All My Friends ======================================== Collect the painkillers and weapons on the side. Move forwards and kill the three commandos. Once they're dead, Vinnie will walk towards you. Go to the window and kill the numerous Russian mobsters and commandos outside. Some of them will drop from the wall, whereas others will be at ground level. Follow Vinnie through the next set of doors. Two thugs will come through the window at the end of the room. Kill them. Once Gognitti attemps to go through the double doors, three of Vlad's mercenaries will drop down from the window that the other thugs came through earlier. Once they're all dead, follow Vinnie to the elevator. Once you're in the elevator, five or six men will try to take you down. Protect Vinnie at all costs. If they pierce Vinnie's outfit with their bullets, the level will be over and you won't progress any further. Stand at the top of the stairs and kill the two thugs that attempt to come up.
