How to unlock the Under Par achievement in Max Payne - Definitive Guide

(Difficulty)

Story related, cannot be missed.

In order to unlock this mode, you must first have completed Max Payne on Fugitive. From the main menu, go into the following:
  • "New Game" > "New York Minute"

New York Minute is a speedrun type of mode where you need to finish the game within a time under 56 minutes. Each Chapter's missions have a timer ticking down. If this timer reaches zero, Max will automatically die. It should be noted that the Graphic Novels and cinematic cutscenes will stop this timer and the timer slows down whenever you're in Bullet Time. This mode seems daunting at first, but fear not. Just like with Hard-Boiled mode, New York Minute is a joke when you're abusing the cheat codes throughout this playthrough.

To unlock the trophy much faster, do the Level Select cheat code and then select the following mission:
  • Part III - A Bit Closer to Heaven > Chapter 8 > "Pain and Suffering"

In order to finish this mission, you need to do the following:
  1. Destroys the two cables holding the building's radio mast in place; you can do this easily with the Sniper Rifle.
  2. Once one cable is destroyed, kill the four henchmen that come out.
  3. Destroy the final cable and then shoot the building's radio mast with an automatic weapon, such as the Colt Commando.

Once the helicopter is destroyed, the trophy will unlock after the Graphic Novels and cinematic cutscenes finishes or after you skipped it by pressing . This takes you about 10 minutes of your time to complete. As for your in-game time against the clock, it should have been anywhere around 1-3 minutes. Well under the par time of 56 minutes, thus unlocking the trophy.

We start a New Game on the New York Minute difficulty mode and do everything the same as for the previous Feel the Payne trophy. I don’t suffer from straight-handedness, but I managed it in 2 minutes 37 seconds. - Long live cheats!!!
