Max Payne is an action/mystery/neo-noire video game created by Remedy Entertainment. It stars the titular main protagonist Max Payne and is the first game of the Max Payne trilogy. It is preceded by several flashbacks of the Max Payne 3 comic book series and is followed by Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.

Notes[]
- Neither the tutorial level or the secret level will be counted since they are not canon.
- The evil version of Max Payne killed by the real Max Payne in the level "A Cold Day in Hell" will not be counted because he was merely a figment of Max's drug hallucination. This also includes his second appearance during "A Bit Closer to Heaven".
