    Max Payne 3 is a solid game made for the PC, with incredible visuals and sound to go along with that. This is a no brainer for any action shooter fan out there.

    With Max Payne 3, Rockstar Games proves that the studio masters the action-type game in the most brilliant way, despite Max Payne 3 not being an open-world title. If there were no doubts about narration, the gameplay system also remains very atttractive thanks to the perfect introduction of the bullet time and the Shootdodge abilities, two strong aspects players are already familiar with. Rockstar Games offers a great experience, full of details, and depicts an amazing trip through Brazil and its favelas. A masterpiece at which Rockstar Games excels, introducing a tortured character whose adventures will surely give you the chills!

    Max Payne 3 is this generation's most important third-person shooters. In PC version controls and visual effects are better than PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Max Payne comes back home.

    The PC version of Max Payne 3 is every bit as savage and satisfying as its console predecessors.

    Despite the new setting Max Payne 3 captures the cynical dark atmosphere of the series perfectly. New gameplay elements like the cover-system are implemented very good, but the lack of innovation makes the action a bit tedious towards the end. Nonetheless Rockstar delivers a good game and even more important: it deserves the name Max Payne.

    Max Payne 3 feels like a PC original, in a very good way. [Aug 2012]

    A decent slow-mo shooter spoilt by technical issues and a heavy focus on an empty plot. Wait for patches or a demo. [Aug 2012, p.88]

    - Хорошая графика, даже в 2к20, что уж говорить в момент выхода игры
    - В целом неплохой сюжет, по началу кажется супер неочемный, но    Из +:
    - Хорошая графика, даже в 2к20, что уж говорить в момент выхода игры
    - В целом неплохой сюжет, по началу кажется супер неочемный, но потом он раскрывается
    - Шикарный, харизматичный гг
    - Неплохие постановочные моменты
    - Сложность ( игра весьма требовательна к аиму)
    - Геймплей, к середине он мне крайне наскучил, однако после середины, когда сюжет начал набирать обороты, он мне вообще не приедался, раздавать хэдшоты в замедленном времени це кайф
    Из -:
    -Музыкальное сопровождение просто худшее за всю историю игропрома, просто минус уши, какое-то непонятное гудение вечно, и не важно, экшн сейчас или главный герой просто ходит-бродит где-нибудь, очень сильно кстати давит на мозг, советую вообще на 0 музыку сделать.
    - Управление крайне кривое , по крайней на клавомыши
    - Вместо нормального спринта, какая то пародия на спринт, главный герой почему-то не умеет нормально бегать
    - Ну стандартная история про чела, который выкашивает армии бандитов, очень трудно поверить в то, что у каких-то оборванцев из фавел есть армия, насчитывающая тысячи солдат.
    - Дебильные скрипты, особенно заметно в битве с финальным боссом в полиц. участке, где ты должен сделать так, как задумывали разрабы, на хедшоты ему будет пофиг.
    - Отсутствие хоть какой-либо свободы, игра крайне прямолинейна и заскриптована
    - Идиотское решение запихивать врагов по слепым зонам, резко за угол и т.д. Приличное количество ситуаций, когда ты получаешь гарантированный, так называемый "несправедливый" урон.
    - Есть весьма сомнительные миссии и ситуации, которые стоило бы вырезать: погоня на автобусе, миссия на болоте и погоня на катере.
    Ну, в общем и целом, неплохая игра, не супер-вау, но попробовать можно, хотя косяков дофига, для рокстар-то, которые вылизывают свои игры...    … Expand

And I admire Rockstar Games' work. But HOW THE HELL THEY LET THIS HAPPEN ?! First I bought the game and played the story my jaw on the ground..It was really stunning. Then I tried Multiplayer... What the hell ?! There were hackers all over the servers, in every game.. That makes the multiplayer unplayable and annoying. I give 5 because of the storytelling and graphics. Rest is rubbish… Expand
