Been playing Max Payne 3 for a bit now, and here's what I think of it so far!THE GOOD
- James McCaffrey delivers an excellent performance as Max.
- Great script.
- Great writing.
- Simple but fun gameplay with awesome shoot-dodging and bullet-time.
- Difficult.
- Plenty of environmental variety.
- Game can look gorgeous at times, but is at least good at all times.
THE BAD
- Depending on your tastes, the cutscene heavy tale may not be for you.
- The film effects such as chromatic shifts and scan lines and be overwhelming at times.
- The game can be a tad overly difficult at certain points.
- Some missing third-person mechanics (such as cover-swap and the ability to move while aiming from behind cover) can make the game a bit frustrating.
OVERALL
It's been one fantastic ride so far, it should be at least an 8 from me.
Haven't played Max Payne since the 2nd one. I guess this will be something to watch out for. It sounds like the comic-book style from the 2nd Max Payne isn't implemented, which I found to be a particularly redeeming aspect for the game.
Also, THE DREAMS CREEPED ME THE HELL OUT.
