The game starts in medias res: Max is in the hospital with scars on his face, and a few bullet wounds. As for our hero well even he gets weakened by all the big firefights. Yep with Max another bloody massacre is afoot in New York again. However as we are playing Max Payne 2, our protagonist cannot survive so easily until retirement. Our hero while still alive is not too happy: he’s back to being a normal cop instead of handling DEA cases.

Of course, for this to happen Alfred Woden had to intervene, and needed to clear Max from any hefty charges: He was only taking out the trash by killing gangsters and rogue government agents. However, Max Payne was not only able to avoid those two fates, but was celebrated as a hero. Those who start massacring people in New York City usually end up in the chair or a mental hospital.
