The story is as measured by the general scale well. Although I am not yet but what I've seen so far which is very action-packed and entertaining. Why does the game still only two stars? If a Max Payne comes out, you have to be measured against the predecessors to halt. And the level of predecessors can not keep Max unfortunately. Partly compulsively must be shown that Max is quite at the end. In the predecessor worked wonderfully with dreams and delusions in which Max is facing his fears. The developers played skillfully with repetitions and sequences in which one did not know exactly whether the Max now dreaming or really experienced. Connoisseurs of the series will remember the hospital scenes of the second part or Monas ghost train. In the labyrinths in the first part and the baby cry I had to make up in part because it too went to my nerves.
In the third part it is against just about shooting. In no episode of the players questioned large any action, Max state is constantly illustrated with alcohol (never played such a big role, apparently, the player must often times be remembered as Max actually goes) and wobbly effects that old to a TV remember. Why not indeed so plump? One would have this with memories may indicate the murder of Michelle and daughter wonderfully, or dare dreams in which old friends show up. Playable understood what it was like in the predecessors duzendfach the case. Seemingly to the very last detail Max meet with his old colleagues Instead, in memories portrayed. From Meet in the bar on an eternal by shooting through the bar (the largest bar that I have ever seen) by shooting to eternal etc by a House for a three kilometer long tube of cemetery together eternally long morgue etc. Mind you, I'm still far from at the end. No idea if they reach the mafia boss someday. Slowly but it is I do not care. You can already see how the developers have tricked the scope.
The only thing I can remember now still are small, pink circles with a dot in the middle: Unfortunately, the game mainly consists aim at the head and pull the trigger. Long-term motivation is generated only by success and golden weapons, the story appeals to me anyway so just by playing for once. In contrast to the second part, I've played through only for the story four times, a rather Maues Conclusion. Nevertheless, convincing throughout the English Max by an excellent blend of mime and monologue / dialogue. Too bad the other good, good items from the predecessors were lost.
My conclusion: Max Payne 3 is a good game and for those new to the story about Max Payne a good conversation. Story veterans should however carefully consider whether they really want to do this game is. If you want to have good action but with a good story, can safely access.
