![]() Players move using the left stick and change the camera view using the right stick. In terms of gameplay, players view and move Max in the third person view except for when he is sniping. The facial expressions and movements of Max were particularly well done especially in the introduction. There are also many cut-scenes that show off the character designs and fluid body movements. ![]() This really gave me the feel of watching a television show rather than just playing a game. The story is told by Max and the use stylish moving panels or “motion-comics” similar to the TV series “24” or “Heroes” that combine action, dialogue and text. The only thing that seems to keep him going is protecting the people he feels he needs to protect. He is only getting by with the bottle and painkillers. He is a broken man who is suffering and living by the memories of his wife and child. ![]() He is clearly damaged goods and it shows with not only with his drug and alcohol abuse but through the occasionally hazy and double vision events we witness as narrated by him. One of the first things players will notice as I suggested above is Max Payne is not the Max Payne we remember from years past. Max is determined to get the girl back but goes a little further than what he bargained for including the involvement of the Brazilian police, drug dealers, politicians and other ruthless figures. However, when the wife of one of the Brancos is kidnapped by an unknown group, Max and his bodyguard associate Raul Passos set out to find those responsible and wreak havoc along the way. His job is to provide protection and security for a wealthy and powerful Brazilian family known as the Brancos. The story starts with Max trying to escape his past by taking a job in Brazil working as a bodyguard. Fortunately however, Max Payne 3 is definitely not showing its age at all as this was a fantastic ride from the moment I jumped into the game. He is battling a lot of inner demons along with some huge guilt and a substance abuse problem. He looks considerably older and a little haggard. Unfortunately, the years have not been kind to Max. ![]() Well it has been 9-years since the previous Max Payne game, so Max Payne 3 arrives with some great anticipation. Leaping in the air with my dual wielding pistols while shooting bad guys in slo-motion was simply a rush and left me feeling like a Hollywood star. It had an interesting story, cool presentation and style, and most importantly was a lot of fun to play. One of the most memorable third person shooters I ever played was the first Max Payne game for the PC. ![]()
