The Max Payne game script tells the story through different parts that introduce the player to the plot, characters, and build climax. The prologue allows the player to get used to the story before playing. As a third-person shooter, it contains violent references and actions, targeting an audience over 18 years old. The script has a single narrative structure focused solely on Max, with new characters identified by numbers like "Cop1, Cop2" that are easy to remember and suggest the game is set in America.
