Finally after years of waiting comes the new installment to the Max Payne series. Max Payne 3 is set 9 years after the events of Max Payne 2 and I have to say; It. Is. Amazing. The story is still the best part of Max Payne involving painkillers, booze, and a rich story built on the fuel of vengeance.
Presentation - Max Payne is a body guard for a rich business man's wife and family settled in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Everything is just a party until Rodrigo Branco, rich business man, 's wife, Fabiana Branco, is kidnapped by Favela street gangs. Going through the story you will find out that there is a plot that is so big that it is even further up than Max could've imagined as he tries to find out the leader and take him down. There is only one downside to the story and whole game and that is the Tiete River mission. It is kind of not the same gameplay as the rest of the game.
Gameplay - Bullet time is back and at its best. Max now jumps through the air better than before as it is portrayed like how it would when you fall to the ground in real life. There are tons of things in the game that you can jump over and use bullet time to not make it repetitive at all.
Online - I was a bit skeptical when they were trying out putting bullet time online, but I've already played it a couple times and here's what I can tell you; it works. They balanced out the normal gameplay with slowing time down.
The Verdict - Max Payne 3 is a fantastic game through and through despite the one mission. The story is at its best and the online couldn't be better. I give Max Payne 3 9.5/10.
