Product description: Max Payne 3 - Xbox 360
The award-winning Max Payne franchise put players in the role of Max Payne, a hard-boiled New York City detective with a penchant for violence, out to avenge the death of his family. The latest installment delivers more of the classic elements and hyper-intense action that fans have come to love, while moving the story of Max in a new direction. Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of Fast-paced, highly advanced and furiously violent, Max Payne returns
with the most sophisticated, stylized shooting action, and a dark and
deeply immersive story following one of the most iconic characters in
videogames.
12 years after the events of Max Payne 2, Max finds
himself in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where security work is plentiful but the
risks are high. But murder and betrayal dog his every step, and once
again, Max is thrust into the heart of a brutal city with nothing but
his weapons and his instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a
way out.
Back at last, gaming's most world weary cop is back -
although he's not the man you might remember. It's been six years since
the last sequel and Max is now working in Brazil, employed as personal
security for a wealthy local family.
This swaps the dark streets of New York for the bright sunshine (and
dangerous slums) of Sao Paulo. Despite such radical changes the third
person action will still be familiar, including the series' famous
use of The Matrix style bullet time.
Of course bullet time is
no longer the novelty it once was, so here it's evolved to not just
slow down time but allow you to perform special moves while everyone
else is stuck in slow motion. There's also a new cover system and one of
the most interactive environments ever seen in a game. The old Max
Payne is gone, the new one should be even better.
