The Bottom Line:

"Masterpiece"

Max Payne 3 displays an amazing amount of potential - Rockstar Games has once again displayed a quality product.
It joins the likes of GTA and Red Dead Redemption, M.Club LA and Manhunt, and is a flagship product. It uses a feature known as "Bullet Time" to enhance the gameplay, and also introduces a cover mechanic to the series. You can dive from one window to the grass, in slow motion, all while pumping bullets into your enemy. The graphics are breathtaking, rival to those of Batman: Arkham City and Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, and the team at Rockstar Games has done a brilliant job to tell the story for Mr. Payne's POV. Cutscenes transit seamlessly into continuous gameplay, and you when you finish the extremely satisfying Campaign, you can jump straight into the epic multiplayer.
"""Max Payne 3 will let players form private crews with friends, or join public crews. Players can be a member of up to five at the same time, and completing tasks as a crew will gain XP points for the player. Among the crew features promised are persistent Feuds, that see the player scrapping with opposing gangs who've killed someone on the team. Social Club integration connect play across multiple titles, starting with Max Payne 3 and Grand Theft Auto V. By playing both games multiplayer "crews" that the player set up in one will be carried over to the other."""
