Max Payne 3

However, things went terribly wrong and Max finds himself in a foreign city hunting down the kidnappers and also the truth to his past. With the storyline in mind, the developers have added plenty of nice cinematic scenes to further increase the immersion of its compelling narrative.Not to mention, the game also greatly improved its slow-motion-based gameplay with the addition of the Rockstar Games' proprietary Advanced Bullet Time® and Shootdodge™ and Final Kill-cam mechanics that guarantees some epicly stylish shooting action. Every bit of the gameplay is brilliant rendered to incredible detail as well, giving the slow-motion aspect of its gameplay the kind of high quality that many have praised the game for.
Max Payne 3 is an astoundingly well-made sequel when it comes to gameplay, but many fans have noted that this game oddly lacks the noir feel that had made the franchise unique in the first place. Perhaps it is just part of the franchise's evolution to being a mainstream game, or maybe the developers just want to try something new. Regardless, if you're a fan of the Max Payne story, you might have a bit of a mixed feeling about this game. But if you're just in for the slow-motion-infused shooting action, then you won't be disappointed!
