Max Payne 3 boasts a highly addictive single player campaign that will leave you very satisfied. The story line is awesome and will make you ask questions and contemplate during the game. Many twists and turns with a great ending. Often I got angry at characters max got angry at, and liked the ones that max also liked. I felt like I was max, and that was pretty bad ass. The bullet time mechanic is very fun, but I felt that they could have been a little more useful. For example, when using Max's bullet time dive, often when you land on the ground you are a sitting duck. I also felt that I could take out enemies more effectively when not using the bullet time. There were some glitches I encountered in the game, mainly physics glitches where dead bodies seemed to sometimes flap around or get stuck and wiggle. I also did not like when you went into a short cut scene during the middle of a fight, because it often made me get out of my cover, making me an open target. I loved the way they implemented a kill cam when you kill the final enemy in a group. Overall a great game, but you could probably milk everything out of it in a rent. I have only played some multi-player, and from what I can tell, the single player is much better.
