Hey everyone! First off, it's nice to be back after our weird hiatus!
And second... it's time for a little review (; we all love reviews.
Now, this is going to be a sort of a short review and by that I mean I'm not going to give off much of the story!
Jumping right into it, Max Payne 3 was probably one of the most insane and heart wrenching games I've ever played. You seriously feeling like crying throughout the game at the horrible luck this guy has had! Rockstar really has brought it back. As most of you know, Max Payne is a city cop who is trying to overcome the trauma from the murder of his wife and baby, which is just terrible. In Max Payne 3, he finally hits rock bottom and you find him in Brazil. He's hittin' the liquor, poppin' some pills and basically staying out of the way while wallowing in his tragedy... at first. Max then shaves his nice head of hair and is back in the action! This game really followed into the overall plot nicely.
(At first, I was upset at him shaving his Bradley Cooper based hair, but there are flashbacks, so it all worked out!)
The gameplay is just overall awesome. Not perfect, but awesome.
Bullet-time is of course the main focus in this game and it works very well! Rockstar has truly outdone itself with physics and animation. Bullets rip through bodies while leaving behind devastating damage and enemies will react realistically depending on where they are shot. The graphics really make the fire fights in this games ten billion times better! Not to mention, the voice acting is phenomenal. The only problems I have with the gameplay is that the controls are a little whacky and whenever Max hits something, it leaves him a little vulnerable (but that's how realistic it is!) it seems. ONE MORE THING: you'll love his witty comments!
Little advice:
You really have to pay attention to where you use the bullet dodge in this game. Your dodge will be cut short if you do it too close to a wall or other object (;
I hope this gave some of you an outlook on Max Payne 3! And really, honestly, you do not have to play the other two games before you play this one. It explains everything you need to know.
This trailer ACTUALLY sums up the game perfectly, in case you're interested!
Happy gaming!
