Max Payne 3 Reviews

Piece of art, what a game, beautiful graphics, amazing movement, who would of thought that a game from 2012 would be so much better than many current games that we have, big cred to the developers making a truly amazing game

it crashes a lot, and it started doing so after 2 hours of playtime.... f*ck off edit: it stopped crashing so much, for some reason, but i'm still gonna leave a bad review cause there's a bug that doesn't unlock steam achievements

the game is basically a story of a grumpy old man swearing, bitching, whining and blowing things off for a straight 15 hours (on Hard mode). loved the script: for all 14 chapters the bastard fucks everything up but is totally convinced he's doing a great job. it's essentially the dunning kruger effect in gaming and i can't think of anything else quite like it. also, let’s be frank: this isn’t the Max Payne from Remedy's games. but somehow, he uses Raymond Chandler’s (Dashiell Hammett's? Mickey Spillane's?) vocabulary even better than Max did in the older entries, despite most of the game being set under the scorching sun of Sao Paulo, not in the noirish american anything. the game plays smoothly, looks great (for a 13 y. o. game), and sounds pretty amazing, too (thanks to the band HEALTH). what else do you need?

One of the best games I've ever played I wish for more more story rich games like this, and I haven't played the second or the first Max payne.

apparently my rockstar account was hacked. It is linked to my steam account. I have no way to recover my passport. There is no real-time support. I am unable to play a game i spent money on. What a fucking joke. I'll probably just pirate the fucking thing now.

the game story is ultra good, i very recommend it, but, i've played till chapter 7 and then my game crashed, all my progress saved till chapter 5, it pissed me very bad... .

I've heard people say that Max Payne 3 is the worst game in the series. But I can't agree with that. While the first and second games have an incredible dark atmosphere, the third one takes us to sunny São Paulo with an older Max Payne, addicted to painkillers and alcohol. This was the first thing that disappointed some fans, so it really depends on personal preferences. Personally, I was completely satisfied with the atmosphere, but I admit it's quite a big change. However, one thing that might please fans is that we do revisit snowy New York in a few levels through flashbacks. There aren’t many of these levels, but they’re a nice touch. The story is a typical B action movie, it won’t blow you away, but it’s not bad either. Max works as a personal bodyguard for a wealthy family, but there are a few plot twists along the way, and I think they’re quite unpredictable. The game made huge progress in terms of graphics and gameplay, which is understandable since there’s a 9-year gap between the second and third games. What completely blew me away was the ragdoll system, as expected from Rockstar. Simply put, the gameplay is excellent, almost perfect, and it goes hand in hand with the absolutely fantastic graphics for old time. As a player who loves story-driven games, I have to say that the story is the one aspect where Max Payne 3 falls a little short. Otherwise, it's an amazing game, but not a perfect one. If the story were better, I’d give it a solid 10/10, but as it stands, I have to go with a 9/10.

Amazing story and gameplay, Graphics still hold up to this day

I dont know wtf was wrong with this game last time i tried to play probably rockstars godawful DRM but once i got past the god awful rockstar mandatory luancher its a fucking incredible game i fully recommend it and it seems it runs completely fine on modern systems now! some of the coolest most kinetic emotional gunfights in video games.

Rockstar put their story telling and directing skills into this third installment of the the MAX PAYNE Trilogy. And they do not disappoint. Weather you are playing from the first two stories, or just getting into the franchise they keep Max true to pill popping form; And fill in the blanks to his past enough to slide into the nightmare that is Max's life. Still voiced by the Late James McCaffrey (RIP); It's Quite a way to end the series. If you are looking for a story rich action game. This is it.
