The Bottom Line:

"Masterpiece"

I was always a huge fan of the max payne series,and was eagerly waiting for the 3rd part since 2003.While I was eagerly anticipating for it,my expectations were high.But when I finally got my hands on it,my expectations weren't only reached,they went straight up and broke the highest level possible.The game is solid hard in terms of difficultly.Despite the cover system,it is a run and gun game for everyone,fans and critics alike.I took almost 12-14 hours to beat this game.I am absolutely satisfied.Though the comic panels have been departed,it has been replaced by motion panels which are not at a negative sign,infact it completely supports the concpet of gameplay and gives a pillar to the depth of the story.Features like last man standing,bullet kill cams,morale system,bullet time and environmental bullet time really help in beating this hardcore baby.The music by HEALTH is convincing and at the same time fits in the game.Excelling in storytelling,great voice acting by James Mccaffrey,and satisfying gameplay in both singleplayer and multiplayer,its a masterpiece in presentation,plot,gameplay!My wait for Max Payne 4 now begins.
