Rockstar attempt at a Max Payne game.
It's totally not up to Remedy's game. It's a different experience altogether. And everything the originals never really wanted to try before.
It's way more "cinematic" compared to it's older titles. Cinematic not in an inspired sense, it's presentation tries to be as cinematic as possible, plagued with cutscenes interrumping gameplay every so often you finish a shooting section. I hate this, there is a mod on PC that let's you skip cutscenes. I've played this game at least 6 times for the achievements and the cinematics crippled the entire experience.
It doesn't really try to be anything beyond a dumb acton movie. Max in this game is really, really dumb. We know he hasn't been the sharpes tool in the shed, but in this game he gets on danger constantly, he already has nothing to live for. But come on Max, giving your life for some Brazillian nobodies is insulting. He just doesn't care about anything at this point. And so do I.
Putting that aside. Gameplay wise is incredible. The most polished third person shooter I've ever played. Made to be gruesome, but awesome. The weapons feel different, like in the older games. No guns is like the other.
In short, a deviation of what Max Payne really is. But it's a fun time. Wish it was never made though, or being the start of a new Rockstar IP altogether.
