although you are controlling max in third person perspective but in this game, it feels it's like a movie more than a game which is totally fine because for damn sure Rockstar knows how to tell a story, how to pay attention to details, characters, face impressions and environment. the story tells itself then to shooting, just like that so if you were expecting a regular single-player third-person shooter campaign maybe you need to look up this game more before buying. what might be the biggest difference and yet the most obvious one is the huge change in gameplay from the previous titles, Max Payne 3 is here to tell a story through cutscenes, lots of them. A great challenge and experience.Ĩ0% PCMax Payne 3 take our old friend max from the old setup which we all know and love, and put him into a more of cinematic settings, but don't worry you would be still shooting heads, lots of them. The free-form action and diverse environments kept me hooked through the whole duration of the game which for me was around 12 hours. Finding unlockables is made easy like in old Uncharted games and provide you with golden skins for your guns. You get to dive and shoot at an airport, in a slum, in a hotel, on a cruise ship and in an abandoned hospital for instance.
The environments keep changing and really keep you interested. With the difficulty steadily increasing as the levels go by you'll find yourself doing all sorts of action movie scenes, like hanging and jumping from a helicopter while shooting, protecting a friend with a sniper, and shooting grenades flying towards you. The game's length is optimal I'd say and there are no clear difficulty spikes. You can trigger slow-motion whenever you want and dual wield weapons while shooting out of cover or let's say jump through a window.

The story might be a bit full of itself with drama stacking over and again, but atleast the protagonist is authentic. 9 years after its release, the graphics and especially the cinematography are still extremely pleasurable to look at.ġ00% PlayStation 3One of my favorite third-person shooters. The levels are diverse, ranging from parties, to boats, to favelas, to office complexes. I wish more third-person shooters existed with the Max Payne game mechanics. The balancing is perfect, down to the additional pain killers one gets, after the third retry. Each level is a puzzle to be solved with guns, rifles, and bullet time. The only problem is it doesn’t fit the tone established in the first to Max Payne games. The pacing is excellent, the plot line thrilling, and every level is an exciting chapter to be explored. The Branco family is an interesting ensemble consisting of Rodrigo Branco, a rich housing developer, his wife Fabiana, her do-good sister Giovanna, his politician brother Victor, and his youngest coke/party brother Marcelo. Max Payne 3 is a story about rich and poor Brazilians. Max Payne 1 & 2 were story noire masterpieces. Sequels are expected to take what made the previous instalments great and improve up on it. 7/10 (Good).ġ00% PCMax Payne 3 fails as a sequel. It’s a consistently good time tied together with clever dialogue and engaging set pieces. The story was decent, and it felt lacking of another leg to stand on, but the gameplay and bullet time mechanics alone warrant a playthrough. Max Payne 3 is not a perfect game, but most audiences will play it and enjoy all that is has to offer. I personally didn’t have a problem with it really, though sometimes it was distracting. I could also see the constant use of the sort of neon lens flare effect to be a turn off to some people.

The writing for Max in this game is good, perhaps not quite as good as the clever dialogue in the first game, but overall stays in line with that witty yet pessimistic monotone dialogue that the series is known for. It’s very fun to use, but it quickly ceases to be a leg for the game to stand on. The bullet time feature is absolutely awesome but without it you’d have some mostly average third person shooter gameplay. While the base gameplay is solid, there are many awesome set pieces, and the dialogue is good, it feels too much like a one trick pony to warrant a higher rating. It is fun from front to back, and I almost gave it an 8, but it remains a 7 for a few reasons. 70% Xbox 360This is a very solid continuation of an old franchise that makes use of better technology to refine an old formula.
