Fun but frustrating.

Difficulty:
Hard
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"All flash, no substance"
This was great fun to play mainly because of a good story and great gfx. The gameplay was frustrating to say the least.
The best weapons should have been an assault rifle with a laser sight but anything with a laser is almost unusable as the dot bounces all over the place. The same gun without a laser was more accurate because the white dot doesn't move. I found the best gun's were dual automatic pistols with fire mode but then you never have enough ammo. Shotguns just feel week.
Several times I found I was shooting guys but the hit detection was making me miss and others I was 4-5 mm (on screen) away from an enemy with my shots and it hits. So either the bullet spread is not following the tracers or the hit zone is off.
AI was good but in places they just stood there and got shot. Several even got up with bullet holes in their heads and kept on fighting.
I'm glad I played the game as I loved 1 and 2 the first time round but this could have done with a bit more of a polish and some weapon balancing.

  1. I took the image for the Max Payne 3 Special Edition and, because of the recent release date delay, edited it accordingly. I think it looks GREAT.
