Even with a good shooting and cover system, it is still very easy to die horrible, even on the lower difficulties.

This brings us to one of my main complaints with the game: it is really easy to die. More of an evasive maneuver, as it leave you vulnerable for a few seconds when you land, it can really help, particularly when leaving cover. Shootdodging is the classic slow motion dive, all the while shooting with (usually) two guns. It is very cool, and often the only way to survive some encounters. When enabled, everything slows down, bullets leave trails, and Max is able to dispatch several enemies is short order. What would a Max Payne game be without his trademark Bullet Time and Shootdodging? Bullet Time stamina is acquired during combat by killing enemies, taking hits, and avoiding bullets. To help stave off the reaper, a cover system has been implemented. Our hero is a bit fragile, and can be killed easily, even on lower difficulty modes, so you have to be able to quickly take out adversaries, and it’s not uncommon to have six or more guys firing at you at once. Most enemies can take quite a beating, even with aim assist, so headshots are a must. It is a good thing the controls feel accurate, because you are going to need to aim well. Aiming feels tight, ammunition is plentiful, and there are always enemies to shoot. The variety of guns is impressive, ranging from uzi’s and pistols, to rifles, shotguns and even a rocket launcher. Max can hold 2 one hand guns, (wielded single or dual) and one two handed gun. A small thing, but does wonders for immersion. Also, unlike other games, the guns that show up in the cutscenes are the guns Max has with him during play. There are may cutscenes, but they are often short and interspersed with gameplay sections, not giving the player a chance to rest his laurels. “Ok, I’m playing now I’m watching and putting the controller down.” That doesn’t really happen in Max Payne 3. Max’s narrative continues between both gameplay and cutscenes and really flows well, and helps to prevent the segmentation that shows up on other games. This gives the game a really cinematic feel, not unlike Uncharted. You never know when you will be required to fire a shot or dodge a bullet. Because of this, the player needs to be prepared. The game blends gameplay and narrative cutscenes very well, and cuts back and forth between them seamlessly. The characters are interesting, motives are always in question, and Max himself is a wonderful storyteller, narrating the whole experience.

Not as good as its predecessor, but still a very good crime drama. However, players familiar with Max’s history will pick up on some things. Pretty much all that you need to know you are told, or can infer by paying attention. It does help, but as long as you know that Max is a self-abusive ex-cop whose wife and child were killed in the line of duty several years before the game begins, you will be fine. The game does not require knowledge of previous games. It’s a wild ride, and we are taken along with Max for the thrill. It’s a fascinating tale of deceit, crime, and abuse of power. Given that he has been mixing Scotch and painkillers, that proves to be problematic.

But, as with any crime story, nothing is as it seams, and Max is soon trying to rescue his employer’s trophy wife, all while trying to put the pieces together of what happened and preventing it from escalating. In Max Payne 3, Max has been hired to protect a family in Brazil after he quit the police force. Now that he’s finally back, does is matter? Is Max still relevant, or is Max Payne 3 another Duke Nukem Forever, and should had stayed hidden in the depths of development? Stay tuned to find out. Since then, he has been surprisingly silent. About ten years ago, a cop named Max Payne teamed up with femme fatale Mona Sax to take down some rather bad men.
