Time Spent:

10 to 20 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Disappointing"

As I was tought before the game comes out, the location of this game is totally derailed from the original game core. You can't put noir under the Brazilian Sun and yatches, thats it.

Rockstar tryed to mix a sort of a GTA with a split of an old charmy and famous drunk character, but the result is a cheap cocktail.

In terms of Single Player the story is quite banal, always frustrated by strange and noisy green stripes on the screen simulating the drunkness of Max (is that one the noir element they put in?) and quite short of course. It's good to slow bullets and jump slowly down the stairs, but not so much enjoyable due the tiny pointer they've made. Also the graphic is not so stunning, you have to admit.

The multiplayer is chaotic, fun, but without a shade of a tutorial you'll have harsh times on your progress...Max would have been a great game, if the location (oh, thanks for the two chapters with the "old Max's life back to America") and the "true feeling approach" to the charater was made properly.As Max deserved.
Where is John Marston? Where is Cole Phelps?
