    MP3 is disappointment.

    Story is boring and predictable. Max Payne character is not depressive ex-cop who has nothing to lose anymore, but stupid brute alcoholic. Everything yelling on him for whole game: "ITS A TRAP! ITS A BACK-STAB!" Still our "genius" has no clue about what's going on. "I must protect woman/i didn't save woman again" theme is really annoying too. Unnecessary    MP3 is disappointment.

    Also story took place in Brazil instead of gloomy New York streets, which means lack of atmosphere. We don't have noir/gangster movie feeling we had in first two games.
    Controls and camera can be awful from time to time. Sometimes you cant see target behind Max's head, sometimes headshots don't kill an enemy (without helmet), aiming is bad. Combat system is mix of "behind cover" action and "bullettime". Guess what? Way easier to stand behind cover manually and fire without using "bulettime". If you have painkiller and you have been shot, you need to kill a guy who killed you in slo-mo to revive yourself. It's broken. If you have been shot from behind or your gun isn't loaded you are dead anyway. Besides that, after successful "reviving" Max Payne lies on a ground like bag of trash which makes him a good target. Game uses cut-scene often to show us how Max Payne entering next room. It automatically switches your currently weapon to pistol or submachinegun even if its have no ammo. So you need to switch your weapon to rifle or shotgun again. After cut-scenes doors close behind you with no reason and Max Payne automatically chooses dumbest cover in a room with bunch of bad guys. How lame is that?
    Plus game have few chapter with AI partner which means a lot of unskippable cut-scenes and we forced to watch this hear stupid lines like "Take care!" or "Ok just keep it quiet!" or "We need to took him down!" repeatable. Boring.

    Some levels are fun and killing are pretty satisfying though. Still this game is more like mediocre GTA spin-off than Max Payne game.    … Expand

    Not a very long game but definitely enjoyable. It does not offer the best of story lines, however in the scheme of things and the character "Max Payne" himself, it fits in well. Just too much of shooting people throughout and at times it gets a little tiring and the long cut scenes seem to be a respite. In any case, the end of the game is just awesome and makes the entire game worth playing!

    First of all, this is an awesome game with an even better story. But I'm just going to get the score out of the way by saying that this shouldn't have been a Max Payne game, it should have had a different name. The series should have stayed in NYC and add on to the story of the first two games. This puts him in a different environment and it just didn't feel too right.

    But, that aside, this has a great story, very well written, and Max has stayed the same. The graphics are obviously amazing, and more realistic mechanics are implemented (you can only have a couple of weapons). The comic cutscenes have received a downgrade, but with graphics like these, it's understandable to have actual movie-like cutscenes.
    Overall, it's a good game if you haven't played the first two, and a bit of a disappointment if you have.    … Expand

    Generally, I believe Rockstar Games knows how to make games , but when it comes to adapt the Max Payne franchise , they just drop the ball.

    As someone who played Max Payne 1+2 in 2018 and just started playing Max Payne 3 it really boggles me that they changed so many mechanics from the old Game

    - You can limit the use of 4 weapons
    - You can add a dedicate cover mechanic (which is welcomed very well)
    - You can replace the comic style cutscenes with flashy ones

    But the bullet time mechanic is heavily nerfed to a side mechanic you can barely use.
    Unless you plan to combo Dodge + Slow-mo (like an idiot) , you barely get any chance to use the slow motion.
    I played in hard mode , so I don't know about normal , but the slow-mo bonus you got in every kill in Max Payne 1&2 is GONE IN 3 ?! WHY ?!
    The main focus was shooting in slow motion and avoiding gun fire like Neo !!

    But no , instead , lets play like a typical 3rd person shooter, just way more clunky !

    And then comes the unnecessary cutscenes, I don't mean the ones after you finish a level or where their is exposition, I mean the ones where NOTHING SPECIAL IS HAPPENNING.

    Adding insult to injuries , you can't skip cutscenes, not unless you have yourself an SSD to load you level faster because every level or even a CUTSCENE takes precious amount of loading time.

    If you started on Max Payne 3 , chances are you thought it was a good or an OK game.
    I advise you to try the older ones.

    Update:
    So After sometime , I bought the game to give some more look into it.
    Yes, this game is this lacking smooth gameplay wise (which I I'll explain deeply in a bit), but the story was great IMO. Max suffered enough to get into a certain point where he really doesn't give a damn about his life. So the cursing works well IMO.

    Aside from that, I was actaully suprised that Max was heavily animated in gameplay.
    However, Rockstar's investment on smooth animation has it's flaws.. and deep ones.
    Max can get stuck in some animations before he can shoot or even turn.
    It's redicilous, but if the animation script was not finish, You will experience some awkward delay.
    Just goes to show that it doesn't matter if you have smooth animations, GAMEPLAY-IS-EVERYTHING! meaning it must give you the sense of control.

    Sadly for me I don't have the change to play the multiplayer which I heard was supreme against multiplayers like Uncharted 3 and 2.
    Ahh... the good old days in Uncharted (don't mind this comment, just got a nostolgic feeling XD)

    // Another Update On extra things on the game//

    I thought about doing some fun arcade to unlock unlimited bullet.
    The mode called "score attack" has this odd way of giving perfect score....
    If you think that pulling headshots left and right is the way to get the highest score , then guess what buddy , WRONG !!!!
    You have to riddle your enemies with more bullets to get the big amount of score on them.
    Why? Because f*ck stylish gameplay... -_-.
    The only way to get top score is to bullet dodge for slow motion and shoot the enemy 5 times in his chest and then to his head.... ahh...... this is so stupid.

    // Final Update (Online/Multiplayer only) //

    I finally got my change to play a few rounds.
    This game has one of the best BALANCED 3rd person shooters I've ever played. It's simple, classic and reminds of the good old days.
    Funny enough, the ridicilous animations weren't present. It made the game more fast pace and just way more fun.
    It's funny because if they stick those mechanics to the single player the game would have been far better than what it is.
    Luckily ,and sadly and the same time, I was already late for the party, because not alot of people are playing this wondorful online game. Everybody are now sticking to the sh*tty *ss 3rd person battle arena shooter Fortnite because it's so fun to walk for 7 mintutes only to get camped by *ssholes. I miss the good old mutliplayers... the balanced ones that is.... 6.7/10 because the online is so good but the single player is so "animated"    … Expand

    I've played Max Payne 3 several times ever since it released and, no matter how many times I do, I can't find myself to find it as good as the first two games, for a couple yet simple reasons.

    Firstly, the Pacing: this game has a terrible first part or first few hours: the Flow in the Gameplay is constantly interrupted by what are clearly Loading Screens masked behind in-engine cutscenes, and I mean constantly, like "clean one room, cutscene, clean the next room, cutscene", it's quite terrible design.
    Furthermore, sometimes these cutscenes are pre-rendered, and when stuff "loads" in the background they switch to in-engine real time rendering, which maybe it was not too jarring in 2012, but nowadays it's bad, hasn't aged well at all.

    Secondly, I don't think it's a very good Max Payne game. As a Third Person Shooter, it's competent, if only the insane amount of Cutscenes would let us actually shoot stuff for more than 30 seconds.
    Combat and movement feel good enough but, considering this game came out 9 years after the second game, not a lot has changed, it's been modernized, sure, but I felt the shooting mechanics were good enough already in Max Payne 2, although I reckon they're a bit better in this third instalment, for sure, and it does feel quite responsive.

    I don't see any need to have a Cover mechanic though, it does seem the developers tried to adapt mechanics from certain other well known third person franchise, as many other games tried, and I think it doesn't work well with the pace and flow of the combat.

    Story wise, it pales in comparison to the original games, for sure, and the ending is extremely weak for what it's Max's last story, the end of the journey.

    Graphically speaking, it was not a bad looking game in 2012, using modern techniques for the time such as Tessellation and improved AO, even offering MSAA on top of the FXAA, which is nice.

    Level Design is also a bit of a hit and miss, some levels feel decent, while others seem like quite poorly designed and clearly meant to be basically cutscene festivals and scripted set pieces one after another, which is a shame.

    And when the game starts feeling a bit better paced...it just ends, and that's it.

    The throwbacks to the original games, by letting us play in some periods from Max's past, wearing a more appropriate attire and in the more familiar NY setting, are nice, but that alone does not make the game feel like a proper Max Payne game should, sadly.

    Still, the game does has its merits as a third person action shooter, but it could've been so much better, had Remedy worked on the development.

    I don't think anyone would ask or expect for this game to be remade someday but, perhaps after the Remakes for the first two games are done and released, things could be seen under a different light, although I won't hold my breath for that to happen.    … Expand

    - Дебильные скрипты, особенно заметно в битве с финальным боссом в полиц. участке, где ты должен сделать так, как задумывали разрабы, на хедшоты ему будет пофиг.
    - Отсутствие хоть какой-либо свободы, игра крайне прямолинейна и заскриптована
    - Идиотское решение запихивать врагов по слепым зонам, резко за угол и т.д. Приличное количество ситуаций, когда ты получаешь гарантированный, так называемый "несправедливый" урон.
    - Есть весьма сомнительные миссии и ситуации, которые стоило бы вырезать: погоня на автобусе, миссия на болоте и погоня на катере.

    Max Payne 3 has a decent story, although it seems to have lost its characteristic hopeless melancholic flair in favor of more popular "darker, grittier and edgier" athmosphere. Max started feeling a bit more generic as a character, especially closer to the end of the game, with his almost phylosophical diatribes replaced by something more akin to a stereotypical "broken tough guy" bravado. Sao Paulo works alright, and its much more lively and vivid athmosphere creates a nice contrast with what's going on with Max himself, but this immediately creates a noticeable "story / setting" segregation that I didn't feel like the writers managed to properly address - plus, MP2's "perma-rain" or MP1's "perma-snow" felt much more appropriate for the athmosphere and setting prior games had. Overall, it's not an entirely terrible tonal shift, but it looks - and feels - a bit sloppy and undercooked, especially when Dan Houser's influence makes the story veer into GTA's turf of "half-sarcastic parody" territory. As a result, Max sometimes feels like a copy of GTA 5's Michael! Although not as sociopathic and hypocritical one, I'll give Rockstar that, it still feels out of character.

    Gameplay's fine, but the addition of cover system has admittedly removed a lot of incentive for more aggressive playstyles. This, coupled with clunky controls (especially related to covers), inability to properly crouch when behind cover, and every single attempt to jump immediately turning on bullet time creates some frustration in an otherwise nice if uninspired and risk-averse gameplay.    … Expand

    The Max Payne series drew people with its dark atmosphere. Rockstar tried to take a different route but failed.

    Я только сейчас вспомнил, что у Макса Пейна была 3 часть..
    3 часть не вызывала никаких чувств вот и всё будь она хоть в 50 раз лучше технически или в графическом плане. Я помню цитаты, музыку, сюжет, некоторых боссов, локации из первых 2 частей, но из 3 части я вообще ничего не помню кроме лысины Макса и может быть одну локацию из Бразилии просто из-за сильного колорита.

    It's got bullet time, alcohol abuse, and a lot of psychopathic murder. What isn't there to like??

    Самая слабая часть серии, сюжет и сеттинг отвратительны, геймплей на любителя

    Gta 5 max payne mode :D Although the game is of good quality, the series does not have a noir atmosphere. I didn't like the story. I ran into a very bad problem once in the game. I recommend it to shooter game lovers.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    Если вы играли в Max Payne 1/2 - никогда не покупайте Max Payne 3. Вас ждет огромное разочарование. Скучный примитивный шутер, сюжет не цепляет.

    Max Payne 3 feels like a PC original, in a very good way. [Aug 2012]

    Its deviation from the mood instilled by its predecessors might annoy some purist fans, but Max Payne 3's undisputed quality standards in all accounts will make them look the other way and enjoy the game as it is. [July 2012]

    Max Payne is god and it really doesn't matter that he is not the fair one. He is the most interesting action character these days and the game itself is one of the best you can get. [July 2012]
