During the time of its release, Max Payne managed to revolutionize PC gaming space with its focus on highly detailed 3D visuals, fast-paced and thrilling action, new gameplay ability of “ Bullet Time” that allowed gamers to slow down time and briefly overpower enemies with superior accuracy (a move that was popularized by the then quite recently released Hollywood film “ The Matrix”), and the dark and atmospheric noir story that was told in a very unique visual style that mixed 3D cinematics with the animated 2D comic book panels.
