Eurogamer: Max Payne 3 Review

What it has in abundance, though, is expensive-looking environments for Max to dive around in and then talk to himself, and that's just about enough to keep you going for as long as it takes to settle the score. All the same, you can't escape the feeling that Rockstar just isn't as good at a pure third-person shooter as it is with the open worlds of Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption, and in this linear context it's much harder to put up with its usual missteps in mechanics and difficulty.

Max the man emerges with credit from Max Payne 3, then, but time hasn't been kind to the ropier elements of the game he stars in.

what score anyone gives this game, I have waited a long time for max payne 3. I have been playing number 2 curtosey of ps+

OmegaSaiyanX4364d ago

Max Payne 2 was terrible, 6hrs long max and just terrible throughout. Its a shame developers are unable to make games better than their first ones as Max Payne 1 is still to this day truely awesome.

LOGICWINS4364d ago

Playing it now. Never in my life have I disagreed more with review scores. I'm currently in Chapter 2 and I can say that Max Payne 3 is the most rewarding action game I've ever played. The game is much more challenging than I expected. The joy u get when u finally win a gunfight that uve repeated over and over again is unparalled to anything I've ever felt this generation. The gamr is so good that I'm only playing two chapters a day so that the story lasts me a while.

Joke review this game is a 9 at least

JokesOnYou4364d ago (Edited 4364d ago )

No, the review made some great points, I can see why its a 7 for some and a 9 for others, its flawed with nothing really new added to the series but the story kicks ass and the action is intense, so for me GameInformer nailed it with a 9.25 because story is great and it has action packed gameplay that works very well, which is definitely what I favor in a game, still I can see why some may downgrade it for not introducing enough new gameplay mechanics. People need to learn not to take reviews so personal, if everybody thought the same way what good what any review be? As long as I don't get the feeling the reviewer has fanboy goggles on I love to hear a different point of view whether I agree or not.

Sizzon4364d ago

No surprise this is coming from Eurogamer, I like some of their reviews on games, and I'm not saying 7 is a bad score. They are just maybe a bit harsh on great games unlike other review sites.

neutralgamer194364d ago

Trust me i have tge game. The mp is mediocre with stiff controls, bs cover system and poor graphics. Just based off that this game does not deserve anything higher than a 7.

pandaboy4364d ago

Finally an honest review, I'm so sick of these big names games getting a free pass. I have already been conned twice recently by review sites and their leniency in handing out 9s and 10s, it happened with deus ex hr and mass effect 3 and they were both terrible games.

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 300d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama300d ago

Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.

Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.

badz149300d ago (Edited 300d ago )

Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima

Tacoboto300d ago

Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.

Each one absolutely worth it.

Aloymetal300d ago (Edited 300d ago )

100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!

Demetrius300d ago

I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing

ClayRules2012300d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda300d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom2300d ago (Edited 300d ago )

Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
