Easter Egg

In Act 3: Level 4 (the garage), there is an Easter Egg featuring members of Max Payne's production team and some surprises. After the opening animation ends, take out the four guys that the car has dropped off. Now, before entering the garageon the right, face the garage and look just to the right of the opening. There are 3 barrels (one, and then two on top of each other), and an A/C unit coming out of the wall. Jump from one to another to reach the roof of the garage. You will now be facing a little shack on the roof, with a door-shaped section painted slightly lighter than the rest -- shoot this with any weapon, and it will fall away, leading to a room with a small grating on the floor. Stand on the grate, and you will fall into a room with a dead hostage, a sniper rifle and ammo, and a radio that plays a conversation between members of the production team with a bit of humor at the end.

Easter Egg # 2

In the rooftop chase sequence there's a room you can get to that has a poster of Soldier Of Fortune II and some other useful goodies.

Easter Egg # 3

In Chapter 3 when you start on the roof of the multi-storey car park you can jump on the barrels and then onto the roof near the exit ramp. If you shoot the peculiar looking metal wall you'll see it collapse. Then go through the opening, drop through a nearby vent in the floor and you'll end up in a small room. You'll find a sniper rifle and some ammo and a radio. "Use" the radio for some laughs.

Easter Egg # 4

When you walk in on the bank robbery, you can shoot the wailing siren to stop it. Do this and Max will thank you.

Easter Egg # 5

When you find the piano on the manor level, if you "use" it Max will play the title theme. Shoot the lid support out to drop the lid and then try playing the piano again.

Easter Egg # 6

When you find the drum kit in the Ragna Rock bar, "use" it to play some beats. You can also get the guitar on the floor to squeal and if you "use" the stage microphones Max will say: "Karaoke was never my thing".

Easter Egg # 7

In Chapter 1 level 3 you can find the handiwork of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Once you have found Muerte's Room (313), turn right when you exit the room. At the end of the hallway turn left and you will see a bathroom on the left side and a wooden door that is partially broken on the right side. Using any weapon break through the wood. Go through the room until you get to the broken window. Go through the window onto the ledge and follow the blood on the ledge. You will come to another boarded up doorway which is partially broken. Again using any weapon break through. Inside the room you will find a body with a stake in it and "Buff" written on the floor.

Easter Egg # 8

After you leave the inner circle and get to the main guy's office you pick up the tape. Two rooms after that there is his inner office. Shoot the painting off the wall and youll find a button. The couch raises up behind you which hides a staircase. Go down and youll find a big screen TV that will play a parody of a star trek episode. In the next room is a bed with chains on it and a closet full of bondage stuff.

Easter Egg # 9

In the level where you're chasing Gognitti across the rooftops, after bailing from the train, work your way up to the point where you reach the basketball court. After you've killed the guys, look for a pit-like depression barred off by a chain-link fence with a light over it (on the left when you first approach the court.) There is a Desert Eagle at the bottom. Open up the console and turn on god mode (just in case) and type jump10. When you press enter, use the movement keys to get Max on the other side of the fence, and into the pit. Go through the door on the left, and walk down. You'll find a room full of goodies, and a poster that says "Dopefish Lives". The Dopefish is originally from Commander Keen 4 in the Well of Wishes level and has appeared in several other games including Quake 1.

Pump Action Shotgun

You can get a pump-action shotgun right in Max's house at the very beginning. The shotgun is hidden in his house, on the opposite wall of the phone, in a shutter closet, much like the one that you see right when you get in the house near the door. Open the one farther away from the adjacent room, and you will get a pump-action shotgun with 5 rounds.

Secret Finale Ending

To access it, enter the following in the developer console:

maxpayne_gamemode->gm_sendendofgamemessages( );

Secret Room

When you play the tutorial of Max Payne, walk to the Van which stands across the subway-entrance. When you come near the van, jump on the front-side of it. When you've done that, you have to jump on the box which stands against the wall right next to the van. The only thing you have to do right now is jump on the stairs next to the box, then walk up the stairs to the upper-floor. And shoot add the most left window, it will break, and you can jump into a room, whit some nice ammo. The game will say: "Congratulations, you found the secret room".

Unlimited Bullet Time

Assign shootdodge under controls in the options menu to keypad 1. During the game, you can hit this key to slow the action down any time you want. Repeatedly press it and it will slow things down even further to the point of pausing the action. Pressing keypad 7, will speed the action back up. There is no time limit for how long the action is slowed down.
