The thing about the first Max Payne title is that it was just pure finnish autism. The bizarre faces and models, the Dick Tracey style cutscenes, the crackpot plot with occult imagery and apocalyptic atmosphere of the city, the garage photo shots, the unapologetic violence, it's a pure unfiltered homage to the likes of Chandler and Hammett in silly videogame form. It was obvious from the start that the original crew never intended to get the deal beyond the first one, and that whatever they were smoking at the time ended up running out forever because Remedy became a bunch of hacks after the sequel.
