Max Payne 3 vs Red Dead Redemption
Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3 is the latest sequel to the Max Payne franchise. The story in this game continue to follow Max's struggles with the tragedies and losses he experienced but this time around, he is no longer a cop but a bodyguard who is in charged of protecting the family of a billionaire real estate mogul. 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!
Red Dead Redemption
Red Dead Redemption is, as many called it, the defining game of the previous generation of consoles. Set in wild, wild west of 1911, you, playing as former outlaw John Marston, was forced to head back into the cradle of crime when a federal agents threatened your family. His goal? To hunt down the gang of criminals he once called friends and to hopefully and finally bury the hatchet of his blood-stained past. There are plenty of cover-based gun-slinging in this game, in addition to some fun mini-games prevalent back in the era, including blackjack and poker. You'll also need to do some odd jobs to make ends meet from time to time, which mostly involve hunting down animals and people alike. The replayability in this game is pretty sufficient as well since the game offers challenges and unique stranger missions aside from the main, story-driven quests.Red Dead Redemption has been hailed as one of the best Western-themed game of all time and we couldn't agree more. If you own a console and love wild west, you might want to check this game out!
