Max Payne 3 is in my opinion as good as 3rd person action gets.
Max Payne 3 is set 8 years after Max Payne 2. It finds Max in Sao Paulo, Brazil. But I won't waste time telling you what you already know. ;-)
To the point, in a new setting one may fear that the noir style of the first 2 might be lost. Sure the art style is not as bleak (except the flashback levels) but it is still as noir as you can get. So fear not.
The plot and narrative is exceptionally crafted and executed. The dialog is top notch and the voice acting (especially James McCaffrey) is simply superb.
The action is intense and frantic. And the mechanics and physics of the world are beautiful.
Throughout my 2 playthroughs, I encountered only one glitch and it was in play-through 2. I unloaded an SMG into some baddies via blind-fire. Problem was when I stopped firing, the sound of my SMG going full auto continued. And it stayed that way.......for the rest of the level. Haha. Minor problem nothing really bad.
If anything this game should prove that Rockstar should do more linear games. Open-world is their schtick but mixing it up with a linear title is not a bad idea.
The music and score mostly done by indie noise band Health, provide intense and cinematic pulse to an already chaotic ballet of action.
Max Payne 3 is summed up best as Intense, Deep, and Breathtaking.
Great piece of gaming. :-)
Thanks.
