From the Manufacturer
For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.
Featuring cutting edge shooting mechanics for precision gunplay, advanced new Bullet Time (R) and Shootdodge (TM) effects, full integration of Natural Motion's Euphoria Character Behavior system for lifelike movement and a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience from Rockstar Games.
In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3 will also be the first entry in the series to introduce a thorough and engrossing multiplayer experience. Max Payne 3 multiplayer brings the same cinematic feel, fluid gunplay and sense of movement of the single-player game into the realm of online multiplayer. Using the fiction and signature gameplay elements of the Max Payne universe, Max Payne 3 features a wide range of new and traditional multiplayer modes that play on the themes of paranoia, betrayal and heroism, all delivered with the same epic visual style of the single player game.
A feature debuting in Max Payne 3 and carrying over to Grand Theft Auto V and future appropriate titles is Crews, which go beyond traditional online clans by allowing players to join large public Crews or simply create a private Crew that members can customize. In this way, Crews help players keep the fight alive from match to match - and even across titles - through the Rockstar Games Social Club, which will keep track of Crew stats, including Feuds.
FEATURES:
- Developed by Rockstar Games for a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience
- Advanced Bullet Time and Shootdodge and Final Kill-cam mechanics for stylish shooting action
- Cutting edge aiming, targeting and animation processes for precise, fluid gunplay
- A dark, twisted story chronicling the return of Max Payne, one of the most iconic characters in videogames
- Tight integration between Natural Motion’s Euphoria Character Behavior System and a brand new iteration of the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) for lifelike movement and a new level of environmental awareness
- A wide range of weapons rendered in incredible detail: hammers cock back, shells eject from the chamber and each bullet is individually modeled from the split second it’s fired to the moment of impact.
- Advanced particle physics and destructible environments set the stage for dramatic and chaotic gun fights
- New to the series, a compelling and addictive multiplayer experience to match the dark and relentless atmosphere of the single-player game

The revival of a classic shooter series, "Max Payne 3" offers incredible visuals and cinematography but is ultimately simplistic from a gameplay standpoint.
Max Payne 3 puts you in the shoes of the titular protagonist, fresh off two murder-revenge sprees and now doing private security for a rich Brazilian businessman and his family. "Private security" naturally translates to "shooting lots of people", and in essence the game's story can be summed up as "something happens, causing a lot of people to shoot at Max". It's really just shooting connected by cutscenes, and the reasons for people to shoot at Max become more and more convoluted as the game progresses.
MP3 is a third-person cover-shooter with slow-motion mechanics. The cover-shooter aspect is obvious; it's been done in a million games before, and it'll be done in a million afterwards. The slow-motion can be used in one of two ways. It can be activated by either pressing a button (which consumes "juice") or by diving (which doesn't). Slow-mo is primarily necessary to get headshots, since shooting enemies anywhere else doesn't really faze them.
Health in MP3, unlike most cover shooters, doesn't regenerate naturally. Instead, Max must find painkillers to restore his health. The problem with this is that unlike most games with fixed health systems (like DOOM, for example) is that there's actually very few ways to avoid being shot. There are so many enemies that being clipped is pretty much inevitable even if you're diving in bullet time. The game even recognizes this fact, giving you free painkillers if you die multiple times. It's a poorly implemented and oftentimes frustrating system. To complicate this, you very rarely get anything like grenades to even up the combat - you just have to rely on shooting no matter how many enemies the game throws at you. As such, dying over and over is basically inevitable.
The game looks extremely nice, and the cutscenes are fairly well directed. The graphics and textures look amazing, and slain enemies ragdoll extremely well (as opposed to some games where they look goofy and unnatural). Yet the problem is that this is all basically a cover for a largely empty game. You run through a thousand nice-looking locales shooting millions of nice-looking enemies, but that's all the game is: gun battles tied loosely together by cutscenes. The game for the most part just gets BORING, and while there are some satisfying moments to be found, it's really just not that fun. The game's tone is gritty and oppressive, but it's still too goofy and cartoonish to be actually poignant or taken seriously. The game's multiplayer is a little more interesting, but it's also incredibly unbalanced (dual pistols beat everything) and the unlock system makes things even worse.
Overall, Max Payne 3 is only really great if you're incredibly into cover shooters. It is, perhaps, the apex of the cover shooter genre, but it's also incredibly boring unless you're looking for 15+ hours of pointing a gun at people's heads and clicking the mouse. There's no interesting ideas or concepts, just an incredibly well-rendered but also incredibly stupid game.
Rating: 6/10.

Yes, cheaters are apparently a problem in the multiplayer currently, but I still enjoy the multiplayer and it will be fixed soon.
In the meantime, the campaign alone merits 5 stars! I don't have time to write a full review now, but once I finish it I'll edit this post with a link.

Graphic and story are quite good (The game size is 25G, expecting to see in dept graphic details in the game). I will call it one of the best PC games of 2012.

Good action game with a bit of depth
Enjoyed my time with Max Payne in his noir adventure.
Get this if you like action games but also if you enjoy a cinematic modern experience.

Great addition to the series
