1) Introduction (100)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=============================================================================
In this Character Faq, I have described most of the characters, good
or bad, which have made an appearance in the game, Max Payne. A couple of
really un-important characters have not been included here. All the
characters have been accompanied by a quote from the game, either said by
them or said about them. This Character Faq is, actually, a section in my
faq/walkthrough for this game. I have decided to make it into a separate Faq
altogether for people who may want to familiarize themselves with the
wonderful characters of Max Payne, without having to go through the big guide
of the game.
I welcome you to the wonderful and brutal world of Max Payne. The
protagonist of this game, Max Payne, lives in a world full of hundreds of
mafia members, drug addicts (known as junkies), and government assassins, who
combine their forces to make your life as difficult as a hellhole. You, as
Max Payne, go through an incredible journey full of emotional losses,
setbacks, revenge, and finally, redemption.
The world of Max Payne is incredibly scarce of normal, law-abiding
citizens since the entire story takes place in a timeline in which the city
is hit by the fiercest storm in the recorded history. But the story is so
well told, that you will instantly believe any given circumstances throughout
the game.
The story of Max Payne is the crux of this game (besides gameplay).
It is told through a number of cut-scenes and graphic novels (ala Sin City).
The writer has done a wonderful job of crisp and witty writing which greatly
serves the purpose of keeping the players at the edge of their seats
throughout the game. Both, the cut-scenes and the graphic novels, are nicely
done and maintain the dark mood and the intense atmosphere of the game.
All said and done, this game will always be remembered for its story,
its unique and stylish gameplay, its great characters, and its memorable lead
protagonist, Max Payne.
Get ready to taste the Payne.

2) Story (200)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
=============================================================================
The story is told in flashback by the character you play as, Max
Payne. A NYPD Detective (New York Police Department), Max Payne is shown as a
family caring man who has refused a job offered by the DEA(Drug Enforcement
Agency) because he then, may have had to go undercover which would have been
bad for his family.
One day, Max returns home to find his house ransacked and his wife
and baby daughter murdered by junkies high on the designer drug V-Valkyr. It
happened on a fateful summer evening three years ago. Now, three years on, he
is shown working as a DEA undercover cop trying to uncover the mystery behind
the drug V.
While on the job, his best friend and fellow partner gets killed by
the Mafioso and Max gets framed for the kill. Now, he is a fugitive running
away from law while trying to get the real killers of his friend and
uncovering the mystery behind the drug V.
The conspirators weren't ready to face the Payne!!!

Police, as it turns its addicts into freaking zombies from outer space!!!
