Submitted By: Killer Nightmare
PART 1: THE AMERICAN DREAM
===========================
"Life was good. Max Payne had it all. He had a house across the
river, on the Jersey side, a beautiful wife, and a baby girl. The
American Dream come true. But dream have a nasty when you are not looking."
NEW JERSEY: THREE YEARS AGO. Max Payne comes home from work one day to find his house has been broken into. From the front door, look straight, walk, and the look at the graffiti on the left that has been tattooed on the wall. It is a picture of a poison syringe, a magic tag full of diabolical meanings. Next, walk straight ahead into the next room and pick up the ringing telephone. Max will ask the person on the other line to dial 911. The mystery lady will not help you and is actually happy about it. She will then hang up. Then, look to the right and open the cabinet to pick up a Pump Action Shotgun.
Go into the next room and head up the two flights of stairs to the
left. When you get to the top of the stairs, you will hear Michelle
pleading for her life and the baby crying, then you will hear gunshots.
If you try to go through the bathroom, the door will only half open.
Exit the bathroom and go through the door straight ahead. As you
approach, the door will open with a junkie standing in the way. Blast
him with a vengeance from your shotgun. Then, enter the room and take down another junkie that appears from the door. Here, you will find out that your baby daughter has been shot and killed.
Now, go through the door on the left and pick up the baseball bat
in the corner. You will here one of the junkies yell, "the flesh of
fallen angels!" Open the door to the left and take out the last
remaining junkie. Max will knell down beside his slain wife and let out a resounding, "Nooo!"
"That was 3 years ago. Everything ripped apart in a New York
Minute. The killer junkies had been high on a previously unknown
designer drug: Valkyr, V. After the funeral, I told Alex I would be
transferring to the DEA. It took us 3 long years to get a break in the
Valkyr Case. Then finally, two months ago, a dime dropper tipped us off that Jack Lupino, a mob boss in the Punchinello crime family was
trafficking. I went undercover and infiltrated the worst crime family
in New York."

CHAPTER 1: ROSCOE STREET STATION
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
B.B. calls you on the telephone and states that something has come up with Jack Lupino. He goes on to say that you need to meet with Alex immediately at the Roscoe Street Station. You feel that something is wrong as soon as you get there.
NEW YORK CITY. PRESENT DAY. TWO NIGHTS AGO. The subway car will drop you off at Roscoe Street Station. Look to the left and walk straight ahead and go through the door marked "Employees Only." Then, follow the trail of blood and run through the next door. You will see a Transit Policeman face down in a pool of his own blood. Max will pull out his Beretta automatically. Search the cabinets in this room to find Beretta Ammo and a Pain Killer. Now backtrack to where the train dropped you off.
When you arrive, you will have to gun down two mobsters who are
patrolling the area. Now would be a good time to shoot dodge. Pick up the Desert Eagle and Desert Eagle Ammo and head up the stairs which were previously locked. As you approach, you will hear two mobsters bragging about the transit cop they have just taken out. Shoot dodge and cap both of them while aiming to the right. Then, pick up their Desert Eagles and continue down the tunnel. When you get to the end, you will have to whack another mobster who is behind the locked bars to the left. He will be calling out for the two mobsters you've just iced but the last thing he will see is you.
Next, cut to the right and run down the two flights of steps and go
to the right. Next, continue to the left and you will hear another mobster cough. Take out this guy but dive and gunning to the left in
the archway. When he falls, pick up his Pump Action Shotgun and grab a coke at the soda machine. Then, head through the turnstile straight ahead.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
SO MUCH FOR BEING SUBTLE
++++++++++++++++++++++++
When you arrive, you will be in front of the Subway Control Room.
If you try to access the control panel, it will just mock you. Next
head down two flights of stairs to the right. Wait at the bottom of the
steps where you will hear to mobsters arguing. Then dive out and take out those two henchmen before they know what hit them. Then, watch out behind you and take out the mobster with the shotgun. When they are all dead, pick up the Pump Action Shotgun, two Berettas, and the Desert Eagle. Next, look to the left and run down the corridor to where the yellow transit car is at. Have your Pump Action Shotgun ready and dive through the Employees Only door and whack the mobster who is holding the Transit Cop hostage. Since you save him, he will agree to open the Subway Control Room for you. Before leaving this room, search all the lockers and cabinets to find a Pump Action Shotgun, Shotgun Shells, two Painkillers, and Desert Eagle ammo. Then backtrack all the way back up to the Subway Control Room with the Transit Policeman in tow.
He will punch in his code and say all clear. When the door opens,
a mobster will be standing there to shoot him with a shotgun. Then,
enter through the door and it will be empty. Next find the door, go
through it and get ready to take on four men who are guarding the
control room. First, tag the man in the doorway. Then shoot dodge like crazy and take out the two men to the left and the lamebrain in the
corner. When the smoke has cleared, you will be able to pick up two
Pump Action Shotguns, and two Berettas. Your next move is to go through the door on the right into the control room. In it, hit the button in the middle to restore power to the yellow transit car. Then, grab the
four Painkillers that are in the cabinet to the right. Finally, look through the camera to the right of the painkillers and you will notice
that the transit car is lit up like a Christmas tree.
Now, make your way back to the transit car and enter through the
side door. Then, look to the right and take control of the wheel. You
will then be treated to a scene of the transit car smashing through a
barricade. "So much for being subtle." Exit through the front door,
and make your way down the dark tunnel. Keep your guard up because at the end, you are going to have to take on three mobsters who are not happy to see you. When you have dropped all three, pick up their weapons and make your way up the stairs to the right.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 2: ONE WAY OR THE OTHER
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The rusty door leads to an abandoned part of the subway that was
closed off since the 1940's. Something big was going down at Roscoe Street. This may or may not be why Alex wanted to meet you here. Look to the left and run down the corridor and continue running forward when it breaks left. When you approach, the mobsters think that they have heard something. Dive straight and aim to the right to take down the two mobsters near the crates. The shotgun will do. Shoot the small boxes to gain some ammo for the weapons you've acquire thus far. Then open the door to the right and you will hear someone yell, "What the hell!?!" Look left and shoot left to disarm him. Then make your way to the bottom of the stairs. When it break left, you will have to take out another henchman. Then continue to make your way down the stairs and you will find another tunnel. You can only walk one way, right.
Run down the long tunnel until you see the lights for the station
platform. Stop and listen to the two mobsters talk amounts themselves. One of them will get a cell phone call and discover that the station is not secured. Now make your move. Take out the likes of them two and hop up onto the train platform. Also, a guy will approach from the stair way. Dispose of the Beretta toting mobster immediately. Then, crack open all of the boxes to reveal some Shotgun Shells. Then, head up the stairs straight ahead. As you head up, you will hear a bomb go off. "What the hell was that!?!" Then, continue to make your way up the next flight of stairs straight ahead in the right hand corner.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
LIVE FROM THE CRIME SCENE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Make you way up the flight of stairs and listen to the two mobsters
argue over the Detonators. Then shoot dodge from behind the crates and peg them with your Dual Berettas. , take out the two mobsters that approach from the bottom of the stairs. Pick up the Sawed-Off Shotgun from the dead mobster and look at the door. There is a bomb strapped to the door that was missing a Detonator which you are going to need to find. Shoot at the small boxes to find some more Desert Eagle ammo and make your way down the stairs. You will see some rats along the way. Go through the tunnel but stop about half way to listen to what the mobsters are saying. Then equip your Dual Berettas and dive through the vault door which is to the right. You are going to have to take out a room full of mobsters. Two on the right and two on the left. Shoot Dodge like crazy and nail everyone of them suckers like Chow Yun Fat! Remember to pick up any ammo that the dead have left and take a Painkiller or two if needed.
Then, brace yourself and look to the left. Push the button to open
the door and get ready to take on another room of four mobsters. Just use the same technique as before. There will be one at the door when you first enter, two on the left, and one on the right who make take cover in the center. Pick up the two Painkillers to the left of the
main computer and then answer the ringing phone. You will hear a nasty message from the Deputy Police Chief Jim Bravuro. This is a funny exchange of words. After you hang up, push the keyboard on the main computer and look to the right. Go through Vault C and look at the robbers score that is on the table. After finding out what it was, go back to the main computer and push the keyboard button again. Look to the left and go through Vault A. Pick up the Detonator and run back to the main computer. Push the main computer's keyboard one more time and Vault B will open. Now backtrack and make your way back to the door that was molded shut. When you reach it, you will have to gun down three more robbers. Pick up their weapons, one being a Grenade, and then place the Detonator on the door. Enjoy the nice explosion of the door being reopened.
++++++++++++++++
STEPPING ON TOES
++++++++++++++++
Max Payne sure knows how to make an entrance. You will see a scene between Alex and you. Max lets Alex know that this is Jack Lupino's doing. But here is where you get framed. A man will come down the steps on the other side and shoot Alex dead. There was no way that you could help him because the doors were locked. It looks like you are going to have to shoot your way out. Turn to the right and take out the three mobsters that appear at the top of the stairs. Pick up their weapons as you head up the stairs. The next thing you'll hear is stairs and you will have to disband three mobsters congregated at the top. Then dive straight forward and aim left to take out the mobster with the shotgun. Pick up their weapons and then head into the clerks office and take the four Painkillers out of the medicine cabinet. Next, throw down the Exit Gate Control and exit the subway station up the stairs to the left.
Alex had kept Max Payne relatively sane for the last three years.
Somehow he had stumbled upon something big and ended on stepping on Jack Lupino's toes.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 3: PLAYING IT BOGART
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lupino ran his racket of sex, drugs, and contract killings from a
sleazy hotel and a slum block of tenements. You can hear the NYPD
closing in. Lupino though he could get to Max by taking out Alex and
letting him take the fall for it. All's that he got was Payne's attention. Max decides to walk into the hotel and play it Bogart like he had done a hundred times before only this time, his cover was blown.
Your next move against the Finito Brothers is to dive straight
ahead and aim to the right with your Sawed-Off Shotgun. Take out both of the Finito Brother and then grab the Painkiller from the safe in the back of the office. Next, read the letter that catches Max's attention. The letter is written by Gognitti and is addressed to the Finitos. this is the first mention of Rico Muerte. Finally, Rico Muerte's room is scribbled on the notebook, Room 313. This is where you will be heading next.
Now get ready for another fire fight because Finitos men have heard the commotion and are concerned. Wait by the door and when they come busting in pump them full of lead from your Dual Berettas. After the three of them have been disposed of, pick up their weapons and head out the door. Getting out isn't going to be easy because the stairwell is locked and the elevator has been busted for a decade or more. Make your way down the stairs to the right and go into the bathroom to the left. Here, you will find yourself two Painkillers in the medicine cabinet. Next, continue down the hallway and go through the room and play with the bed if ya like. Then, shoot out the windows where the pink neon "HOTEL" sign is and walk across the ledge to the left. Wait by the second door that you pass on the left and blast the three mobsters when they open the door. Then, pick up their Berettas and run through the door from where they just came out. Shoot out the boxes to the left to reveal some Beretta ammo and then make your way through the door on the right.

When you go through the room listen and watch the two mobsters on the right who are arguing with the soda machine. Then, blast them with your shotgun. After killing this two men, quickly turn around and clock the guys who storms out of their room behind you. Search the room on the right and walk up to the TV to get a bead on the news outside. When your done with the broadcast, go through the next room to the left and grab the Painkiller that is in the cabinet and the Beretta ammo to the left of it if you need it. Now get out of that room and continue towards the Exit. You can not go through the exit doors, but instead walk into the room to the left.

A FEW HUNDRED BULLETS BACK
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your next move should be to kill the junkie on the left and then
pick up the Beretta ammo that is sitting on the shelf. Then make your

Then at a distance, blast the furnace and scare the crap out of the mobsters that are waiting down below. This is where you will drop in next.
Drop down and then immediately shoot dodge forward and let those two wiseguys have it with your Dual Berettas. Then, tag the one who approaches from straight ahead when he hears the commotion.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 4: CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When the elevator reaches the bottom floor get out and wait so that
you can hear what the mobsters are yapping about. Then, run to the left and blast them three men into oblivion.

Here, run straight ahead and listen for the mobsters as they do
business. Then get ready to crash the party with your Dual Berettas by walking through the doors and wreaking some serious havoc. You will have to deal with two henchmen on each side of the table so start using that diving bullet time like crazy until none of the goon are standing. When the room is silent, grab Bar Key from the table on the right. Then search all the cabinets in the room to find some more firepower. Lastly, check the table in the middle of the room to see the contents of the drug deal. Then exit the room from where you came in and head down the hallway to the left. Next, enter the restore and snag the four Painkillers that are in the medicine cabinet. Then, exit the restore and head up the stairs through the Bar with the key you have just found.

Rico will head out the door to the right in the midst of the battle. When you have cleared the room of mobsters, pick up their weapons and ammo and head through the door on the left. When you open the door, shoot the hell out of Rico Muerte who still has his pants around his ankles. When Muerte drops to the ground, pop a Painkiller and head on through the door behind him.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE BLOOD VEINS OF NEW YORK
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Take the hallway straight ahead and pick off the two mobsters that
are in your way. There is one that approaches from the right and one
behind the reception desk. When they have fallen over, take their
weapons and head on through the door behind the Reception Desk. Check the cabinet and you will find a Beretta. Then, operate the switchboard to the right. This switchboard is great for tapping phone lines. Here, you will get to hear one of the henchmen who is dying contact Vinnie Gognitti to alert him that Max Payne is at large. This panics the hell
out of him.
Now, do not forget to grab the Painkillers that are in the medicine
cabinet before leaving this room. Then, head up the stairs that are
beside the exit gates and make your way through the Club door. Then play the one armed bandit if ya like.

Two will approach from the right while the other two will try to kill you head on. Then collect all the weapons that litter the ground and go through the gates that are now open. Push the exit button behind the exit desk, backtrack where you just battle the quartet of mobsters and head out the double doors.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 5: THE MAN RIDING SHOTGUN
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As you make your way out into the streets, you now know that every
available man in the Punchinello crime family will be gunning for you.
But as you are walking, you get to see Lupino's office lit up when a
bomb goes off. Max Payne sees the man who is riding shotgun in the car as it drives by and identifies him as Vladamir of the Russian mafia. Now you will have to go check out Lupino's Suite where Lupino would have been. The advantage is that the mafia men are a little shaken up.

+++++++++++++++++++++++
This part is a little more tricky. The door to the right is locked
tight and there is propane canisters to the left. Here is what you need
to do. From where you are standing when you started this level, throw a Molotov Cocktail at the pipes and watch the fun. The canister will explode and take out the door that was previously locked.

The letter will state that Gognitti was all talk and no walk and that the Russian Mafia weren't to happy with being fired upon. Search this room and pick up some more ammo and two Painkillers. Also, do not forget to pick up the Staircase Key that lay on the shelf. Now exit both rooms and run on over to the door that is straight ahead and a little to the left.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LET THE GUN DO THE TALKING
++++++++++++++++++++++++++

makes the seconds bend to the left, you are going to see a grenade hop right in front of you. Better dive up them steps when you see it! The take out them two men straight ahead with those Berettas of yours. Do not worry about going into the Mens Room, there is nothing there. Instead, check out the Ladies Room and pick up the three Painkillers and the Shotgun Shells that are in here. Then exit this room and continue up the steps to the right.

Then, exit and go into the next room to the left and open the cabinet to find some more Desert Eagle ammo. Next, open the window straight ahead and step outside.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 6: THE ALTERNATE ROUTE

The bombs had destroyed all the stairs up to Lupino's office. Now
you will have to make it there through adjoining rooftops. You will
find yourself at the top of the balcony. Aim down and take out the
boozehound that are warming themselves by the fire. Then proceed down the stairwell. Confiscate their Berettas and make your way straight ahead to through the door on the left. They left the light on for you. The corridor will break to the left. If you try to enter the door the
left, the doorman will politely tell you to buzz off. Enter the door to
the right.
Next, run straight ahead through the snow and enter the door that
is lit on the left. When you enter, check out the room to the right and
stock up on some more ammo for your various weapons. Then go through the small corridor on the left from where you've just entered and throw a Molotov Cocktail to burn the three boozehounds who are hanging about. Cheers! Equip your Dual Berettas and head up the stairs while blasting away at the henchman. After pegging him, two more will pursue you. Open up a can of whoop ass and continue up the steps.

If you try to go through the bathroom, the door will only half open.
Exit the bathroom and go through the door straight ahead. As you
approach, the door will open with a junkie standing in the way. Blast
him with a vengeance from your shotgun. Then, enter the room and take down another junkie that appears from the door. Here, you will find out that your baby daughter has been shot and killed.
Now, go through the door on the left and pick up the baseball bat

Minute. The killer junkies had been high on a previously unknown
designer drug: Valkyr, V. After the funeral, I told Alex I would be
transferring to the DEA. It took us 3 long years to get a break in the
Valkyr Case. Then finally, two months ago, a dime dropper tipped us off that Jack Lupino, a mob boss in the Punchinello crime family was
trafficking. I went undercover and infiltrated the worst crime family
in New York."

B.B. calls you on the telephone and states that something has come up with Jack Lupino. He goes on to say that you need to meet with Alex immediately at the Roscoe Street Station. You feel that something is wrong as soon as you get there.
NEW YORK CITY. PRESENT DAY. TWO NIGHTS AGO. The subway car will drop you off at Roscoe Street Station. Look to the left and walk straight ahead and go through the door marked "Employees Only." Then, follow the trail of blood and run through the next door. You will see a Transit Policeman face down in a pool of his own blood. Max will pull out his Beretta automatically. Search the cabinets in this room to find Beretta Ammo and a Pain Killer. Now backtrack to where the train dropped you off.
When you arrive, you will have to gun down two mobsters who are
patrolling the area. Now would be a good time to shoot dodge. Pick up the Desert Eagle and Desert Eagle Ammo and head up the stairs which were previously locked. As you approach, you will hear two mobsters bragging about the transit cop they have just taken out. Shoot dodge and cap both of them while aiming to the right. Then, pick up their Desert Eagles and continue down the tunnel. When you get to the end, you will have to whack another mobster who is behind the locked bars to the left. He will be calling out for the two mobsters you've just iced but the last thing he will see is you.
Next, cut to the right and run down the two flights of steps and go
to the right. Next, continue to the left and you will hear another mobster cough. Take out this guy but dive and gunning to the left in
the archway. When he falls, pick up his Pump Action Shotgun and grab a coke at the soda machine. Then, head through the turnstile straight ahead.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
SO MUCH FOR BEING SUBTLE
++++++++++++++++++++++++
When you arrive, you will be in front of the Subway Control Room.
If you try to access the control panel, it will just mock you. Next
head down two flights of stairs to the right. Wait at the bottom of the
steps where you will hear to mobsters arguing. Then dive out and take out those two henchmen before they know what hit them. Then, watch out behind you and take out the mobster with the shotgun. When they are all dead, pick up the Pump Action Shotgun, two Berettas, and the Desert Eagle. Next, look to the left and run down the corridor to where the yellow transit car is at. Have your Pump Action Shotgun ready and dive through the Employees Only door and whack the mobster who is holding the Transit Cop hostage. Since you save him, he will agree to open the Subway Control Room for you. Before leaving this room, search all the lockers and cabinets to find a Pump Action Shotgun, Shotgun Shells, two Painkillers, and Desert Eagle ammo. Then backtrack all the way back up to the Subway Control Room with the Transit Policeman in tow.
He will punch in his code and say all clear. When the door opens,
a mobster will be standing there to shoot him with a shotgun. Then,
enter through the door and it will be empty. Next find the door, go
through it and get ready to take on four men who are guarding the
control room. First, tag the man in the doorway. Then shoot dodge like crazy and take out the two men to the left and the lamebrain in the
corner. When the smoke has cleared, you will be able to pick up two
Pump Action Shotguns, and two Berettas. Your next move is to go through the door on the right into the control room. In it, hit the button in the middle to restore power to the yellow transit car. Then, grab the
four Painkillers that are in the cabinet to the right. Finally, look through the camera to the right of the painkillers and you will notice
that the transit car is lit up like a Christmas tree.
Now, make your way back to the transit car and enter through the
side door. Then, look to the right and take control of the wheel. You
will then be treated to a scene of the transit car smashing through a
barricade. "So much for being subtle." Exit through the front door,
and make your way down the dark tunnel. Keep your guard up because at the end, you are going to have to take on three mobsters who are not happy to see you. When you have dropped all three, pick up their weapons and make your way up the stairs to the right.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 2: ONE WAY OR THE OTHER
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The rusty door leads to an abandoned part of the subway that was
closed off since the 1940's. Something big was going down at Roscoe Street. This may or may not be why Alex wanted to meet you here. Look to the left and run down the corridor and continue running forward when it breaks left. When you approach, the mobsters think that they have heard something. Dive straight and aim to the right to take down the two mobsters near the crates. The shotgun will do. Shoot the small boxes to gain some ammo for the weapons you've acquire thus far. Then open the door to the right and you will hear someone yell, "What the hell!?!" Look left and shoot left to disarm him. Then make your way to the bottom of the stairs. When it break left, you will have to take out another henchman. Then continue to make your way down the stairs and you will find another tunnel. You can only walk one way, right.
Run down the long tunnel until you see the lights for the station
platform. Stop and listen to the two mobsters talk amounts themselves. One of them will get a cell phone call and discover that the station is not secured. Now make your move. Take out the likes of them two and hop up onto the train platform. Also, a guy will approach from the stair way. Dispose of the Beretta toting mobster immediately. Then, crack open all of the boxes to reveal some Shotgun Shells. Then, head up the stairs straight ahead. As you head up, you will hear a bomb go off. "What the hell was that!?!" Then, continue to make your way up the next flight of stairs straight ahead in the right hand corner.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
LIVE FROM THE CRIME SCENE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Make you way up the flight of stairs and listen to the two mobsters
argue over the Detonators. Then shoot dodge from behind the crates and peg them with your Dual Berettas. , take out the two mobsters that approach from the bottom of the stairs. Pick up the Sawed-Off Shotgun from the dead mobster and look at the door. There is a bomb strapped to the door that was missing a Detonator which you are going to need to find. Shoot at the small boxes to find some more Desert Eagle ammo and make your way down the stairs. You will see some rats along the way. Go through the tunnel but stop about half way to listen to what the mobsters are saying. Then equip your Dual Berettas and dive through the vault door which is to the right. You are going to have to take out a room full of mobsters. Two on the right and two on the left. Shoot Dodge like crazy and nail everyone of them suckers like Chow Yun Fat! Remember to pick up any ammo that the dead have left and take a Painkiller or two if needed.
Then, brace yourself and look to the left. Push the button to open
the door and get ready to take on another room of four mobsters. Just use the same technique as before. There will be one at the door when you first enter, two on the left, and one on the right who make take cover in the center. Pick up the two Painkillers to the left of the
main computer and then answer the ringing phone. You will hear a nasty message from the Deputy Police Chief Jim Bravuro. This is a funny exchange of words. After you hang up, push the keyboard on the main computer and look to the right. Go through Vault C and look at the robbers score that is on the table. After finding out what it was, go back to the main computer and push the keyboard button again. Look to the left and go through Vault A. Pick up the Detonator and run back to the main computer. Push the main computer's keyboard one more time and Vault B will open. Now backtrack and make your way back to the door that was molded shut. When you reach it, you will have to gun down three more robbers. Pick up their weapons, one being a Grenade, and then place the Detonator on the door. Enjoy the nice explosion of the door being reopened.
++++++++++++++++
STEPPING ON TOES
++++++++++++++++
Max Payne sure knows how to make an entrance. You will see a scene between Alex and you. Max lets Alex know that this is Jack Lupino's doing. But here is where you get framed. A man will come down the steps on the other side and shoot Alex dead. There was no way that you could help him because the doors were locked. It looks like you are going to have to shoot your way out. Turn to the right and take out the three mobsters that appear at the top of the stairs. Pick up their weapons as you head up the stairs. The next thing you'll hear is stairs and you will have to disband three mobsters congregated at the top. Then dive straight forward and aim left to take out the mobster with the shotgun. Pick up their weapons and then head into the clerks office and take the four Painkillers out of the medicine cabinet. Next, throw down the Exit Gate Control and exit the subway station up the stairs to the left.
Alex had kept Max Payne relatively sane for the last three years.
Somehow he had stumbled upon something big and ended on stepping on Jack Lupino's toes.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 3: PLAYING IT BOGART
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lupino ran his racket of sex, drugs, and contract killings from a
sleazy hotel and a slum block of tenements. You can hear the NYPD
closing in. Lupino though he could get to Max by taking out Alex and
letting him take the fall for it. All's that he got was Payne's attention. Max decides to walk into the hotel and play it Bogart like he had done a hundred times before only this time, his cover was blown.
Your next move against the Finito Brothers is to dive straight
ahead and aim to the right with your Sawed-Off Shotgun. Take out both of the Finito Brother and then grab the Painkiller from the safe in the back of the office. Next, read the letter that catches Max's attention. The letter is written by Gognitti and is addressed to the Finitos. this is the first mention of Rico Muerte. Finally, Rico Muerte's room is scribbled on the notebook, Room 313. This is where you will be heading next.
Now get ready for another fire fight because Finitos men have heard the commotion and are concerned. Wait by the door and when they come busting in pump them full of lead from your Dual Berettas. After the three of them have been disposed of, pick up their weapons and head out the door. Getting out isn't going to be easy because the stairwell is locked and the elevator has been busted for a decade or more. Make your way down the stairs to the right and go into the bathroom to the left. Here, you will find yourself two Painkillers in the medicine cabinet. Next, continue down the hallway and go through the room and play with the bed if ya like. Then, shoot out the windows where the pink neon "HOTEL" sign is and walk across the ledge to the left. Wait by the second door that you pass on the left and blast the three mobsters when they open the door. Then, pick up their Berettas and run through the door from where they just came out. Shoot out the boxes to the left to reveal some Beretta ammo and then make your way through the door on the right.
+++++++++++++++
WITHOUT WARNING
+++++++++++++++
Head down the stairs and bust down the door when you get to it.
Then walk straight ahead and look to your left. You will hear a mobster said "Hold It!" When he reaches for his shotgun, blast him with a shot from you own. Then search the room and you will find A Pump Action Shotgun. Now exit the room and continue down the hallway to the left. then as it bend left, enter room 302 to the left. Search the cabinet to the left in the room and you will find a Painkiller in the drawer. Then exit the room and head to the left where the guy is sitting in his chair. Blast him and then take out the two men that approach from the left. Don't forget to dive while shooting! Grab the weapons that they drop and enter the restore on the right. Search the bathroom and take the two Painkillers out of the medicine cabinet and then shoot the junkie in the stall and take his Beretta. Exit the restore and continue to the right through the exit doors.
When you open the exit doors, shoot the man on the left and then
immediately dive and blast the mobster on the right. Then grab yourself a snack out of the snack machine if ya like. There is nothing of interest in the two rooms on the right opposite of the candy machine. Next, goto the exit door and blast the lock off with your Beretta. Then go through the now open door. When you go through the room listen and watch the two mobsters on the right who are arguing with the soda machine. Then, blast them with your shotgun. After killing this two men, quickly turn around and clock the guys who storms out of their room behind you. Search the room on the right and walk up to the TV to get a bead on the news outside. When your done with the broadcast, go through the next room to the left and grab the Painkiller that is in the cabinet and the Beretta ammo to the left of it if you need it. Now get out of that room and continue towards the Exit. You can not go through the exit doors, but instead walk into the room to the left.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A FEW HUNDRED BULLETS BACK
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your next move should be to kill the junkie on the left and then
pick up the Beretta ammo that is sitting on the shelf. Then make your
way through the door on the far right. When you walk through shoot
dodge and make sure to aim left and take out the mobster that is waiting for you. Three more will join the fight from the right so make sure not to let your guard down. Pick up the enemies ammo and one of the weapons that you will pick up is a Molotov Cocktail. Then, make your way down the hallway to the left and run through room 313 but do not stand by the door. It is rigged with a shotgun! Then read the letter that Muerte received from Punchinello. "Collecting evidence got old a few hundred bullets back." If you search the rest of the room you will find a Sawed-Off Shot Gun and a Pump Action Shotgun in the briefcase on the bed. Then, exit the room and make your way to the right.
Grab a snack at the vending machine and then bust down the door
with your Lead Pipe to the right. You will find a hidden room. Next go
through the windows and walk across the thin ledge to the right but
don't look down. Then , bust open the door with the hole in it and go
inside where the dead body is. Here you will find four Molotov
Cocktails, two Painkillers, and all kinds of ammo. After taking up a
collection exit the room and walk along the ledge to the left from where you came. Now, walk to the left and follow the hallway when it breaks right. When you get to the beam that holds up the section, whack the two wiseguys that approach from the left. Then continue walking through where they came. Then at a distance, blast the furnace and scare the crap out of the mobsters that are waiting down below. This is where you will drop in next.
Drop down and then immediately shoot dodge forward and let those two wiseguys have it with your Dual Berettas. Then, tag the one who approaches from straight ahead when he hears the commotion. Then, walk straight ahead and waltz into Room 216 on the right. Then, read the hooker's diary that was left on the table. Here, you will find out the hookers name is Candy Dawn and that she had been running a side business by filming her clients secretly. Then, she would sell the X-rated tapes to the highest bidder. However, an old hag kept calling about the one- eyed Alfred tapes. Exit the room through the right and you will see a secret closet. Then, pick up the Shotgun and Beretta ammo off the rack from the right and go through the door straight ahead.
Then, run to the left and when the hallway bends to the right,
exchange fire with the gumba on the left. Then, run down the hallway
and when it breaks right dive into slow motion and whack all three
gumbas with your Dual Berettas to the right. Now all you gotta do it to
push the elevator button, hop on the elevator, and ride it downstairs.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 4: CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When the elevator reaches the bottom floor get out and wait so that
you can hear what the mobsters are yapping about. Then, run to the left and blast them three men into oblivion. Then, you will have to take on two mobsters in the room to the right who are taking cover behind crates. After the shooting has ceased, go back into the first room and get a news update from the TV. You will find out that the blizzard is not going to let up and neither will this mess. Now, head back through the second room a shoot out the little boxes on the shelf which are left of the crates that are sitting by the doors. Here, you will find yourself a Painkiller. Your next move will be to shoot out the crates by the door and head on through it. When you enter this room you will have to take out a mobster that is waiting in the hallway. Here you will get to read a Captain Batboy comic which is lying right next to a dead guy tied to a chair with a baseball bat on the floor.

the back of the room and grab some more Shotgun Shells. Then, make your way up the stairs where the railing is and you will find yourself in the kitchen.

Finally, head up the stair and enter through the door.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
RICO MUERTE BIG TIME HUSTLER
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here, run straight ahead and listen for the mobsters as they do
business. Then get ready to crash the party with your Dual Berettas by walking through the doors and wreaking some serious havoc. You will have to deal with two henchmen on each side of the table so start using that diving bullet time like crazy until none of the goon are standing. When the room is silent, grab Bar Key from the table on the right. Then search all the cabinets in the room to find some more firepower. Lastly, check the table in the middle of the room to see the contents of the drug deal. Then exit the room from where you came in and head down the hallway to the left. Next, enter the restore and snag the four Painkillers that are in the medicine cabinet. Then, exit the restore and head up the stairs through the Bar with the key you have just found.
In this scene, you will see Rico Muerte talking like a big shot as
Candy Dawn is about to go down on him. Guess it is time to crash the party. Get ready to shoot dodge like crazy because you are going to have to take out two mugs from the left, Candy Dawn behind the bar, and a mobster on the right. Rico will head out the door to the right in the midst of the battle. When you have cleared the room of mobsters, pick up their weapons and ammo and head through the door on the left. When you open the door, shoot the hell out of Rico Muerte who still has his pants around his ankles. When Muerte drops to the ground, pop a Painkiller and head on through the door behind him.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE BLOOD VEINS OF NEW YORK
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Take the hallway straight ahead and pick off the two mobsters that
are in your way. There is one that approaches from the right and one
behind the reception desk. When they have fallen over, take their
weapons and head on through the door behind the Reception Desk. Check the cabinet and you will find a Beretta. Then, operate the switchboard to the right. This switchboard is great for tapping phone lines. Here, you will get to hear one of the henchmen who is dying contact Vinnie Gognitti to alert him that Max Payne is at large. This panics the hell
out of him.
Now, do not forget to grab the Painkillers that are in the medicine
cabinet before leaving this room. Then, head up the stairs that are
beside the exit gates and make your way through the Club door. Then play the one armed bandit if ya like. Next, follow the pathway as it winds to the left and then right and blast the mobster playing the slot machine before he spots you. Then drive ahead and drive another bullet into the other guy that approaches from the right. Search the room and you will find a Painkiller by the soda machine. Then, head on through the doors at the top of the room and you will be on a rooftop outside again. Shoot out the glass and drop on in on the mobsters below. Just be prepared to on four mobsters at the same time. You know what to do. Use Bullet time like a madman and blast away till no one is standing. Two will approach from the right while the other two will try to kill you head on. Then collect all the weapons that litter the ground and go through the gates that are now open. Push the exit button behind the exit desk, backtrack where you just battle the quartet of mobsters and head out the double doors.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 5: THE MAN RIDING SHOTGUN
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As you make your way out into the streets, you now know that every
available man in the Punchinello crime family will be gunning for you.
But as you are walking, you get to see Lupino's office lit up when a
bomb goes off. Max Payne sees the man who is riding shotgun in the car as it drives by and identifies him as Vladamir of the Russian mafia. Now you will have to go check out Lupino's Suite where Lupino would have been. The advantage is that the mafia men are a little shaken up.
You will find yourself out on the streets in from of the Xlent
General Adult Video Store and it is still snowing. Pull out your Ingram
which you have just pick up from your last encounter with the mobsters and run straight ahead past the red car and stop in front of the Pawn Shop on the left. Two mobsters will be trying to make some arms deal. Dive on it and pick off the two men that are standing to the right. Then, pick up the Beretta ammo and Shotgun Shells and head into the little backroom. Nothing in here but on your way back out to the streets, pick up the various ammo that lay on the shelf. When you get outside again, run to the left and follow the road as it bends to the left. Then, read the headlines that are in today's paper which is to the left of the van. You will find out that you made the front page. Then, open the backdoor of the van to pick up the Pump Action Shotgun. Next, continue along the street.

Then, when they are all dead, pick up some more ammo as well as a Painkiller. Next, go through the door that is straight ahead from where you have walked in. When you can go left, do so and bust down the door on the left. Take out your shotgun kill the two junkies who are stoned. Pick up their Berettas and exit the room to the left and walk on down the hall.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
SOMETHING MORE SINISTER
+++++++++++++++++++++++
This part is a little more tricky. The door to the right is locked
tight and there is propane canisters to the left. Here is what you need
to do. From where you are standing when you started this level, throw a Molotov Cocktail at the pipes and watch the fun. The canister will explode and take out the door that was previously locked. Then, re equip your Dual Berettas and head through the door which is now open. You will have to cap a mobster along the way. Look to the left and gun down the two junkies. Then take the two Painkillers that are in the medicine cabinet on the left before entering the next room. Then, keep going straight ahead and dive into the next room and aim left to take out the awaiting mobster. Then aim right and take out the approaching gumba holding the shotgun. Then pick up their weapons and head on up the stairs that are in the back left.
When you head up the steps, take out the mobster to the left by
diving and aiming left. Take his Ingrams and continue going up the
steps. Then, go through the room with the lockers and answer the phone in the next room. When you pick up the phone, a male voice will state that you need to hurry up because the police are on their way. He will contact you again. Now, continue walking ahead and dive through the next room on the left. Here, you will have to take down two mobsters who are not happy to see you. They will drop the Pump Action Shotgun and the Ingram. Then, go through the small room to the left of where you've just dove in. Shoot the lock off the door and enter through into an even smaller room. Then, read the letter on the counter to the left. The letter will state that Gognitti was all talk and no walk and that the Russian Mafia weren't to happy with being fired upon. Search this room and pick up some more ammo and two Painkillers. Also, do not forget to pick up the Staircase Key that lay on the shelf. Now exit both rooms and run on over to the door that is straight ahead and a little to the left.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LET THE GUN DO THE TALKING
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Run like hell up the two flights of steps because as the stairs
makes the seconds bend to the left, you are going to see a grenade hop right in front of you. Better dive up them steps when you see it! The take out them two men straight ahead with those Berettas of yours. Do not worry about going into the Mens Room, there is nothing there. Instead, check out the Ladies Room and pick up the three Painkillers and the Shotgun Shells that are in here. Then exit this room and continue up the steps to the right. Tag the mobster with the Dual Ingrams when you reach the top. Pick them up and enter the room to the right. Then make your way across the balcony to the left and hop across the gap by jumping through the center. The go through the room to the right. When you enter, the balcony you were running on will not be there anymore!
Turn right and dive through the next door with your gun a blazing.
You will have to take out three henchmen. Two straight ahead and one at nine o'clock. When those three have fallen, one will come charging out of the bathroom with a Shotgun. When the smoke has cleared, pick up all of the ammo and make your way into the small room and open the cabinet to the right to net yourself another Painkiller. Then, exit and go into the next room to the left and open the cabinet to find some more Desert Eagle ammo. Next, open the window straight ahead and step outside.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHAPTER 6: THE ALTERNATE ROUTE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The bombs had destroyed all the stairs up to Lupino's office. Now
you will have to make it there through adjoining rooftops. You will
find yourself at the top of the balcony. Aim down and take out the
boozehound that are warming themselves by the fire. Then proceed down the stairwell. Confiscate their Berettas and make your way straight ahead to through the door on the left. They left the light on for you. The corridor will break to the left. If you try to enter the door the
left, the doorman will politely tell you to buzz off. Enter the door to
the right.
Next, run straight ahead through the snow and enter the door that
is lit on the left. When you enter, check out the room to the right and
stock up on some more ammo for your various weapons. Then go through the small corridor on the left from where you've just entered and throw a Molotov Cocktail to burn the three boozehounds who are hanging about. Cheers! Equip your Dual Berettas and head up the stairs while blasting away at the henchman. After pegging him, two more will pursue you. Open up a can of whoop ass and continue up the steps. When you make it to the top, head left where you will have to take out two more boozehounds and henchman. Collect all of their weapons and head up another flight of steps. When you get to the top, go
