GBA Longplay #13: Max Payne

Max Payne is a relentless story-driven shooter about a man on the edge, fighting for his justice while uncovering plot-twists and twisted thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century’s worst blizzard. This Game Boy Advance adaptation of the successful PC and console action series employs similar gameplay techniques in a new overhead vantagepoint designed around the GBA’s capabilities. Gamers can expect much of the same cold-as-steel scenarios, buckets of blood, and edge adult situations in this portable Payne. Also brought over is the hook of “Bullet Time“ -- players have the ability to slow down the passage of time in order to target and take down enemies.
