Max Payne is the good person. He may be broken and bitter and praying for a way out of his miserable life, but he still does what needs to be done to save the innocent and protect the helpless.

There's a fantastic moment halfway through Max Payne 3. The titular hero has reached his boiling point, shaved his head, and gone under...

Gunplay that's updated and well-executed; Outstanding presentation and setpieces; Fun multiplayer designed to keep you engaged

Checkpoint system warps pacing in later stages; Sometimes; mechanics work against you; Plot may feel predictable to some

The gunplay is fun and the graphics are beautiful. I got a little fed up with all of the cut scenes. The multiplayer is just average. I enjoyed the story though and the voice acting was really good. If you're a fan of the first two Max Payne games, definitely check this one out.

Max Payne is looking pretty good for his age. Well, Max himself is looking awful; older, fatter, drunker, and sporting a beard that only serves to highlight his more than passing resemblance to Humphrey Bogart. But Max Payne 3 looks absolutely amazing.

has been a long time coming, releasing nine years after its predecessor and more than a decade after the original game impressed with its bullet-time gameplay mechanic. The gaming landscape has changed dramatically since the noughties, however.

Like it or not, times change. When Max Payne last appeared in a game in 2003, he blasted his way through countless enemies with reckless abandon, aided by his signature ability to slow time and deal graceful death.

Tight; terrific gunplay intensified by bullet time and hard-hitting violence; Great writing; voice acting; and cutscene presentation; Detailed environments that get destroyed in spectacular fashion; Impactful sound design; Fun; chaotic multiplayer

Max's shootdodge maneuver is sometimes frustratingly ineffective

I was very angry about this game it was so impressive and fun,but there was a bad bug that made me start the storyline all over again all dang over again... and after that happened i'm like screw this.It was a very good game besides that bug.

Thanks to successes like Grand Theft Auto , Red Dead Redemption , and Bully , Rockstar has become almost synonymous with open-world games, albeit ones that have notable plot and character issues.

Soaring through the air; blowing away dozens of gangsters with my dual pistols like a John Woo hero

Did he seriously just shave his head as a disguise

Headshot

One of the most exciting shooters of this generation.
