Max Payne 3 (Video Game)

Customer Review

Max Payne 3 is in my opinion a very good game, but ... it has also a lot of flaws. All this detail:

- The graphics undeniably Rockstar provided there genuine efforts to offer graphics really live up to expectations of demanding gamers. On PS3, it really runs very well and is very beautiful to see, it is a pleasure to evolve in levels whose level of detail is really satisfying.

- However, before such a plethora of graphic details there is only one desire: to interact with the scenery, to pick up objects, destroy others, to climb obstacles, climb, pass through a sewer mouth, in a ventilation duct, flip objects, etc. etc. etc. etc. Unfortunately, none of this: you can pick up that weapon and mechanically arranged in levels analgesics.

- Levels alley ... Yep, we are not in an open or in a game world where freedom of action is great, we are in a "third person shooter" shooter in the third person, where our character evolves in a straight line and triggers the script as and its advanced ... A little mysterious from that point of view because we have the feeling of being in a movie that advantage in a game was in charge, this is the game that leads us with his reins ... And we, again, really frustrated not being able to interact with the scenery.

- Above all, Max Payne has a heavy gameplay: as in GTA or Red Dead Redemption, it is heavy to handle, whatever, I mean whatever, it has been improved and the gameplay is more fluid than in GTA IV by example. So it is a little more pleasant to handle.

- But still unpleasant to handle in terms of sight: we find ourselves, at least on console with a joystick in hand, struggling to aim (the famous fashion shooting Rockstar found in the raised opus) so much so that one is obliged to enable easier target which is placed directly on the target. The bravest will succeed without, but we must admit that it greatly facilitates life ...

- Otherwise, the tasks are linked to perfection, the scenario is well established in the manner of an action movie, and loading times, which could leave us a little respite from this overflowing share are systematically covered by kinematic "melted" in the game. This leaves a positive taste for the action (we take in the view!) is not interrupted, but on the other hand, we would like some respite Paradoxical too ... right?

- Concerning missions in itself, they are really action packed, we never get bored, there is always moving to shoot enemies. Lovers of "shoot" shot, will not be disappointed with this point of view!

- The music is nice and sticks very well to the ambience. And as regards the length of life, it is the big downside of the game: However, at the current price in December 2012, 20 euros is tolerable! (But the price of new, ie from 45 to 60 euros, I cry deception!). Indeed, count a dozen large maximum hours to finish the solo ... Too little. We are entitled to require a "blockbuster" like that at least 20 hours of gameplay, this is the bare minimum. 30h could be perfect.

So there resurfaces the black face of the game: its ultra commercial aspect and we feel the greed of game designers who actually curbed the game at bare minimum in terms of length: Short solo it was not that it is too expensive and that it pays a maximum. Because everyone knows that a game will sell Rockstar necessarily tens or even hundreds of millions, many millions of euros in pockets that Rockstar would not add ten hours of play in order 'really make a game successful.

In conclusion, this is a very good game, priced at 20 euros maximum, to be a good relaxation to lay your head and do not over-think: action, action and nothing but the action , stunning, detailed graphics, varied scenery, correct gameplay, missions that really flow well because the scenario is not too bad, in short, good entertainment in all!
