    Max Payne 3 no longer had Remedy to work and you can see it. Someone likes a threesome. Someone at least. Someone halfway there. Personally, I just like her the least. Don't get me wrong.

Personally, I just like her the least. Don't get me wrong. The game is great, but now I'm going to give you some reasons why it's the weakest part. Max Payne 1 and Max Payne 2 hit me mainly with the atmosphere. The game was dark, it was about drugs and of course something I don't want to spoiler if you didn't happen to play the previous parts or have a couple of what they are about. But the three go in a completely different direction. On the one hand, I praise the change, which is great, but it just doesn't have the atmosphere of the previous parts. The dark atmosphere that got under your skin is replaced by action. Comic movies have been exchanged for normal movies, and overall, don't look for the magic of previous episodes here. On the one hand, it's great to see that Rockstar Games did not forget about the fans and offered us moments when you were thinking and it's like then. There are a couple of flashbacks in the game, where you go back to time and especially to the atmosphere of the previous parts. It was these parts that I personally enjoyed the most. But I must admit that the action ones also had their charm at the moment, and overall I enjoyed them. Fortunately, Max Payne's main jingle is still here, and it still works for me, despite the fact that we are not in snowy dark New York, but in sunny São Paulo. For me, a great game that has undergone a change. For some for the better. For some for the worse. Overall, you can see that the Rockstar Games worked on this, because the game has a total touch of GTA V. So for me, a great game that I recommend.… Expand

    Max Payne 3 might be most underrated good "Rockstar Games" game ever. It barely sold 5 million copies and overall not many people know this one, but it's so well made. Incredible graphics for 2012. If i'm not wrong, at the time it was most expensive video game ever made.

    -Map designs are above average.
    -The variety of weapons is sufficient.
    -Cutscene with cinematic transition offers a really different experience.

    Story
    -It has huge shortcomings compared to the first two games. This game is very good mechanically, but very bad in terms of story.
    The Max Payne series drew people with its dark atmosphere. Rockstar tried to take a different route but failed.
    The only good thing is that Max Payne's speeches are detailed and beautiful.

    Graphics
    - The game has good graphics compared to the time it was released. They managed to reflect the atmosphere really well.

    Sound effects
    -Good level. Above average but could be better.

    Optimization
    -Rockstar has done a good job in this regard. It is played without any problems on the PC port.

    In short, although Max Payne 3 is really good in terms of gameplay, it is bad in terms of story compared to other games of the series.    … Expand

Story goes crazy and doesn't make any sense with 1 character taking out so many people but that's how action movies go. LOVE LOVE the ragdolls, I spend hours in this game just for the replayability.

    Max Payne 3 feels a bit different than its two prequels, but it is still amazing.

    Max Payne 3 is a continuation of Max Payne 2 8 years later. No characters from the past are spoken about such as, Vlad, Woden, Sax, and anyone except in some parts Max's dead wife and daughter. I found this unfortunate because I personally liked a lot of the characters in the previous max paynes,    Max Payne 3 feels a bit different than its two prequels, but it is still amazing.

    Max Payne 3 is a continuation of Max Payne 2 8 years later. No characters from the past are spoken about such as, Vlad, Woden, Sax, and anyone except in some parts Max's dead wife and daughter. I found this unfortunate because I personally liked a lot of the characters in the previous max paynes, especially Mona Sax. There is no love story here, as there was in Max Payne 2. The game is concentrated more about trust between Max and others and Max struggling with his age and his drinking problems. However, the plot itself is intense, and makes you want to move forwards to see who is behind everything. There are nice twists, and the enemies make you want to kill them because they are so heartless. There is a notice in the rise of the default difficulty compared to previous max paynes. For one, you cannot save whenever you like. There are checkpoints. Secondly, there are a lot less painkillers and smarter enemies.

    One thing you notice right away when playing is the inability to move as gracefully as you could in previous max paynes, especially Max's walking and running speed. It has took a dive, I this reflects on Max's age. Shootdodge is not as effective as previous games. Enemies are smarter, because they hide behind cover more intelligently, such that they may stay behind cover the entire time you are airborne. Not only that, when you land, there is a bit of lag that is enough time to get you killed if you failed your shootdodge. There is also an online multiplayer mode.

    The graphics are very nice. The environment is detailed, however, you cannot interact with as many things as you could in the previous games. These items include cub boards, sinks and toilet, drawers, etc. The ability to open these things up and check for ammo is all gone. You can only pick ammo up from your dead enemies. The dialogue is just as great as always, however there is no more graphic comic cutscenes, but instead live cutscenes where there are flickers and stills that reflect Max's state of mind. You may not enjoy this game as much if you do not like cutscenes interrupting your gameplay, because there are a lot of cutscenes. Personally, the story is so amazing that I love watching the cutscenes and the fantastic animation and dialogues.

    Finally, if you have a PC, get it for the PC. Analog controls for aiming make the game too hard unless you enable soft-lock/hard-lock. But in my opinion, those locks take the fun out. The precision of the mouse and keyboard are practically a necessity for this game unless you have a lot of experience with using analog sticks for shooters.    … Expand

    The game is not too long and the ending is too Hollywood but those are its least favorable points.

    the story is closely followed, it is realistic, cruel, harsh and even complicated. Max payne 1 and 2 are great games but max payne 3 is not far behind and rockstar has managed to give it its personal touch

    The gameplay is without a doubt the best of the game. Being able to shoot and aim while moving in the third person, being able to rotate 360º on yourself when aiming even on the ground, take cover, bullet time, how good the gunplay feels being able to carry two weapons at the same time even being different, its different missions such as the sniper copied by other games in 2013, the zip line and being able to shoot at the same time. Each chapter feels different and the i.a. of the enemies is at a good level, the physics are incredible with the last death bullet created in real time and its effects on the bodies, the physics of Max when he moves carrying the weapons changes and the weight is felt when running, move. This game is very undervolorized

    It is an ideal game for speedrun lovers with a trophy / achievement of passing it without dying, with quite challenging regressive time.

    Online is very addictive, but many of its modes are paid dlc's and there are people who prefer it that way before gta / rdr micropayments, because they are very wrong    … Expand

    "Max Payne 3" is an exceptional addition to the series, boasting a captivating story, intriguing characters, and the familiar Max Payne essence. However, while it retains the core elements, it does veer away from the traditional Max Payne vibe in certain aspects.

"Max Payne 3" is an exceptional addition to the series, boasting a captivating story, intriguing characters, and the familiar Max Payne essence. However, while it retains the core elements, it does veer away from the traditional Max Payne vibe in certain aspects.

    The game showcases an incredible narrative, supported by strong character development and the iconic Max Payne narration. Yet, the Max Payne ambiance seems somewhat diluted, only surfacing when engaging the slow-motion mechanics or during Max's inner monologues.

    From the outset, it's clear that the reins have been handed from Remedy to Rockstar, evident in the visual style and narrative approach. The once-pervading dark atmosphere takes a backseat, replaced by a distinct Rockstar flavor. Notably, the absence of the beloved comic book cutscenes, replaced by different unique ones, leaves a sense of wonder about this decision. The game's transformation from the shadowy streets to sunnier locales, and from Max's iconic jacket and haircut to a more understated appearance, marks a departure from its origins.

    Although the changes might raise eyebrows, delving into the game reveals its prowess. "Max Payne 3" manages to be an extraordinary game despite embracing a distinctive direction. It's an odd paradox: it's an amazing game while feeling like a different experience altogether. This third installment is both loved and resented, a testament to its complexity.

    Despite the shift in tone, the gameplay shines as the best it's ever been. Max Payne remains the larger-than-life, excessively cool character fans adore, even with a hint of rust. The transformation of the game's atmosphere might have made me feel as though I was playing with Vin Diesel rather than a character from "The Matrix" at times, but I've chosen to overlook the departure from its roots. Why? Because despite the changes, "Max Payne 3" masterfully delivers a truly exceptional gaming experience. But that does NOT change the fact that I wish the game would have had the same tone and ark atmosphere and storytelling.    … Expand

    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.

    A worthy sequel,in my opinion even better than Max Payne 2.
    The evolution of the character is absolutely awesome.

    the main points for me in a game what will tell if it is good or bad... Physics, destruction, violence and gameplay. well, Max 3 delivers all this in a perfect and satisfying way.

    The only problem with this game is that you complete the story and then you can't skip the cutscenes, you have to see them all. the loads you have in the cutscene are fakes

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Un Third-person shooter casi perfecto, extremadamente divertido y con esas historias tan duras y a la vez satiricas que Rockstar acostumbra a hacer. Los gráficos son muy buenos para la época, con unas físicas impresionantes (El motor Rage es de los mejores).

    One of my favorite games of all time due to the fun shooting aspect of the game. Graphics are sick too, the story, the level design, you should play this game 100%!

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

    The game's stunning visuals, gripping storyline, and satisfying gunplay are hampered by occasional pacing issues and overuse of cutscenes.

    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 is the greatest 3rd person shooter of all time. The combat and gunplay is unmatched to this day.

    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]
