It took Rockstar Vancouver about 10 years to create a continuation of the dramatic story of New York police officer Max Payne. But due to the change of the developer, many were distrustful of the new part. They were tormented by doubts that the new team will be able to return the hero they once loved.
In fact, something like this happened. There are many differences between games. True, this is the same third-person action movie with endless shooting, slo-mo effects and the participation of the same character. But first things first. So, Rockstar Vancouver, Max Payne 3 - the review begins.New story
9 years after the events that occurred in the second part, Max Payne is again under a hail of bullets. Only the scene is no longer New York, but the Brazilian sunny town of São Paulo with a population of about 12 million people. His services were needed by one local businessman, and he hired Max as a bodyguard.
It’s a strange choice on the part of Rodrigo Branco, given that Payne himself can look for protection himself, because people of the Italian mafioso who once lost his son through his fault have been looking for him for a long time. And this is the first.And secondly, the former cop has changed a lot. Moreover, he didn’t just get old, but fell ill, for which he “thanks” to the alcohol and narcotic substances that the hero used hard all this time. But, apparently, his former merits nevertheless prevailed, and in the end he receives this honorable position.

They showed up right at one of the charity evenings, which were often organized by a large Branco family. There were a lot of them. Everyone has masks on their heads. Commando Sombra is the largest criminal gang in Sao Paulo. And who did they come for? For Rodrigo Branco? Or maybe his brothers - Victor and Marcelo? No, they needed Rodrigo's wife, Fabiana, and they got her. Let not the first time. It seems that a quiet life is being canceled, it's time to work out the fee. Here is such a story happened with the hero of the game Max Payne 3. Review of "Gambling", for example, notes a weak storyline. Yes, perhaps the last and not the most bewitching. But look at the other sides of the game.Graphics and music

The animation in the game created using the Motion Capture technology also looks quite realistic. Thanks to her, you can notice how folds appear on the clothes of the characters during movement and the elements of the weapon move when shooting and reloading. And the bullet that hit the enemy leaves a hole from which blood naturally begins to flow. In general, with the graphics, everything is fine with the game. The device for which Max Payne 3 is also available is the PS3. A review, by the way, of this version shows that it loses a little computer in visual terms.
One cannot fail to note the excellent Rockstar product optimization. It seemed that with such a schedule one could not do without the “top-end” iron. But it turned out differently. The game was well launched even by computers with average characteristics.If we talk about the soundtrack to the game, then the music here is an amateur. Maxim performs most of his actions under the compositions of the groups Health and Emicida.
Gameplay Features
One of the reasons why it is interesting to observe the events taking place in the game is their presentation. The camera does not stand still, but constantly changes position, showing the hero from several angles. Moreover, the director controls it so cleverly that it is sometimes difficult to determine where the videos are and where the gameplay is. And by the way, in Max Payne 3, any delay can cost the protagonist of life.
The traditional Slo-mo regime has not gone away. This proprietary ability of Max is still effective and spectacular. True, in narrow rooms it is of less use, since, in fact, there is nowhere to fly. And in general, it should be used less often, because the resource that is necessary for its activation is spent very quickly.A new opportunity has also appeared - to hide behind objects. Such a gift is very useful, because the enemies are often extremely powerful. Therefore, sometimes it is possible to deal with them only by conducting targeted fire from shelter. Moreover, this way you can save on cartridges that disappear very quickly.
Also in the review of the game Max Payne 3 should add a problem with painkillers. They are constantly lacking. And without analgesics, it is difficult to reach the control point, given the rather large distance.
In addition, Max is no longer able to carry more than two types of weapons with him. At the same time, the hero can carry one one-handed and one two-handed. Moreover, he will always hold the last in his hand. So if he decides to shoot with both hands, for example, from two "Desert Eagles", he will have to get rid of the rifle. And that also adds to the problems.– . , . , . . – . , , . , ? Max Payne 3 .

Interestingly, the time dilation function is included in the multiplayer. And it works well. True, its effect does not extend to the entire card, but only to the participant that the hero is currently looking at. There is another interesting feature that can change the colors of the inscriptions above the players, which allows you to deceive the enemies. And that, of course, is not all.
