Did you know
• Jack Slate's tattoos indicate he was in the U.S. Marine corps at some point before joining GCPD.
• There are severe parallels to the first Max Payne game from 2001. Innocent cop is framed, use of bullet time, a quest of vengeance for a family relative. Also the protagonist narrates the game in the same fashion as Max Payne.
• One of the key characters is named Dick Hennessey. An obvious pun on the famous Richard Hennessy cognac.
User reviews
Occasionally fun but mostly a dull bore
Great action game, not THAT similar to Max Payne
Want to kill a ridicolous amount of bad-guys? Then this is your game.
