"could have been better"
When I first saw thing i was like MAX PAYNE 3 Wow Cheap lets get it. Cheap games usually mean bad games but for what this game bought to the table compared to the previous version. If you play it for the old style you wont have fun. I found the story line was boring the plot made you want to take breaks every few days. The game was over before you knew it and at the end you didn't feel that sense of “I DID IT” all you felt was a sense of Finally that game is clocked..It felt more a chore then it did good game play. Rockstar shouldn't have rushed this one. Graphics where amazing though!
"Great for shoot 'em up fans!"
It seems to be the thing these days that in order to have a great game you
must write some kind of script to suit.
From blowing away the baddies to virtually watching a movie (quality wise that
of Hitman) it is an entertaining game that you must play again after finishing
it!
It is the first time I've played this sort of Action/Shoot 'em up themed game
and it is great. Love the slow mo, POV moments seeing someone getting taken
down. All round good stuff.

Description
From the creators of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption…
It’s almost exactly 10 years since Rockstar Games and Remedy worked together on the original Max Payne, and eight years since Max Payne 2. With Max Payne 3, Rockstar Studios’ aim was to use every tool at their disposal – from advances in Euphoria physics, particle effects and AI, to a new creative approach to Max’s classic comic-book panels, combined with Rockstar’s notoriously obsessive attention to detail – to create a highly cinematic action shooter.
“…the multiplayer is enjoyable, the single-player campaign is a
knockout.” 9/10 – Gamespot
“…Max Payne 3..has the conviction to reign in the action, imbue it with
purpose – the spectacle still sparkles but it also makes sense.”
9/10 – IGN
Max Payne 3 is set eight years after the events of the last instalment. No longer a cop, Max is close to washed-up, drunk and addicted to painkillers. Without a job on the force, Max has left the greater New York area, and he finds himself in Sao Paulo, Brazil, working in the burgeoning field of private security.The story of Max's descent from vengeful, leather-jacket wearing detective roaming the alleys of New York to the broken, shaven-headed man out for justice on unfamiliar streets far from home is at the center of Max Payne 3.
Features:
- The combination of Natural Motion’s Euphoria character behavior system and Bullet Time adds a new level to Max’s classic shoot-dodge moves. Shoot-dodge is not a canned animation, but a natural interaction with the environment, as Max will reach out to the floor as he dives, and naturally respond to objects in his way if you attempt to dive into a wall or obstacle
- This marriage of slow-motion gunplay and Euphoria physics amplifies the cinematic action of Max Payne 3 significantly, and enemies will also respond realistically to each bullet fired.
- Max Payne 3 extends the concept of Bullet-Time to now include game areas of the game that will trigger set pieces involving Bullet-Time. These provide epic moments of action that allow Max to take out enemies in a new interpretation of Max Payne’s signature style.
- Bullet-Cams return: in keeping with the stylish gunplay for which Max is known, Bullet-Cams deliver players a reward for downing enemies with a satisfying final kill
- Max Payne 3 takes the graphic novel panels of the earlier games and evolves them by utilizing in-game assets to create a motion comic-style approach.
- James McCaffrey, the original voice of Max, is back. Not only as the voice of max, but Max’s appearance, face and many of his movements in Max Payne 3 are all captured directly from James himself.
- Max Payne 3 features an integrated cover system. Cover adds an extra strategic element to the classic shoot-dodge/bullet-time/ run-and-gun mechanics of Max Payne, providing players with new options in any given situation
- Tremendous detail has been paid to every facet of Max Payne 3: Bullets destroy nearly everything in the environment, sweat will appear on Max’s face and shirt as the heat of battle wears on, and blood soaks the clothing of his enemies. You’ll also notice the minute details of the weapons themselves: hammers cock back, slides move, shells expel from the chamber and literally hundreds more.
- Partners and sidekicks will play a large role in Max Payne 3. Hundreds of hours of custom motion-capture were done for individual characters, making traditional in-game encounters completely unique, such as enemies sweeping a room or simply the way Max’s partners will behave as they move through the game.

This is a great game filled with top notch action and an engaging story. The game's classic bullet-time engine has been superbly updated and finessed beautifully and I would strongly recommend this to anyone keen to get involved in this new Payne filled outing!
