About

One of the most acclaimed mods, so much so that there is an easter egg on its creator in Max Payne 2. All kinds of kung fu punches and kicks have been added, including combos, use of the cane and even a simple skill system (from only four levels), which enables spectacular extra movements, such as "wall running". There is a special stage, the Dojo, which is practically a tutorial to learn the different blows and techniques.
