People complain about Max Payne 3's cinematics, saying it's not a game because of it, and there's too much to be fun. So... How were the original Max Payne games with the comics any different? Max Payne 3 is the same great Max Payne you enjoyed in 2001 and '03 with movies replacing the old comic style and some cover mechanics.

Max Payne 3 has some of the most attractive and polished gameplay I've ever seen in a game. A few hics here and there, but gunplay is great. Bullet time is just as useful and cover mechanics give Max some breathe room. The only bad thing I can say about the gunplay is that you cannot move when aiming in cover.

Graphics:
10/10

Best graphics this generation. Plus this game is really well optimized for PC, so if you've got a mid range rig, (Sapphire 6870 for me) you can play the game with a mostly solid 60 FPS on high settings (MSAA off). You will be nothing but impressed by the graphical showcase this game shows off.


Pros:

Amazing graphics, gameplay, cinematics show more story and Max's emotions, and voice acting.

Cons:

Cannot move while aiming in cover and you cannot skip many cutscenes if you want to go through the game a second time.


Overall:
9/10
