New York Minute (mode) is an arcade stylish mode within all three games, in which players have to beat a chapter without their timer running out of time. In Max Payne, the purpose was to simply kill as many enemies, and evacuate as soon as humanly possible. Otherwise when time ran out, Max would be instantly killed off. In Max Payne 2, the player has to beat the scenarios, (chapters) as fast as the players can. The whole objective is to do this, so that you can post the time it took you to complete it onto the records of this mode.
