Max Payne 3

Max Payne 3 is the third uncompromisingly gritty title in the iconic Max Payne series of third person shooters from Rockstar Games. The scene is Sao Paulo, Brazil and the time is eight years on from the concluding events of Max Payne 2.

We encounter Max once again, older, wiser, sceptical, decidedly cynical and visibly transformed (now with shaven head), working in Security for multimillionaire real-estate tycoon Rodrigo Branco and family. A shell of the character he used to be since the tragic loss of his family and his subsequent addiction problems, he appears to be a broken quite vulnerable man, but we will soon discover he is still as sharp as a knife. After the kidnapping of Rodrigo's wife Max finds himself unwillingly drawn back into a dark menacing criminal underworld as he sets out to procure justice in the vice-ridden streets of Sao Paulo.

The setting is realistic and the action is non-stop both night and day. There are improved shooting mechanics (advanced Bullet Time and Shootdodge effects), a huge weapons arsenal and a multiplayer mode which is new to the Max Payne series, plus many more great features.
