Max Payne 1 & 2 were great action games that 3 tries to build off of. It's hard to care about the story in this game, "heck" I don't think Max really cares about the story in this game. The narrative is detached and the characters are extremely forgettable. The only one you care about is Max... and the faceless masses of goons that you need to kill to get to the next checkpoint.
This game breaks down like this: 20 minute cut-scene, 10 minute gun-fight, 5 minute cut-scene, 13 minute gun-fight and so on. If you need a game to fill that void that we all have that drives us to shoot things, then this game can fill that adequately, but if you require a reason to pull the trigger or to go on with the "missions" than this game is pretty shallow. I would've like to see the developers continue Max's story, but it just might end here. I expected more out of Rockstar. 5/10
