But this game is still one of the most immersive third-person shootout pastimes you can get your hands on. He does not look the brooding grim reaper that we know him as because, with age, he has put on some extra pounds not to forget that he is now bald and wears a tacky Hawaiian shirt.
The new gamemaker of the Max Payne franchise, Rockstar, has changed the typical comic-book story telling style to a more in-yourface energised scenes that deliver crisp punch lines.But what can get on your nerves is Max himself. As usual Max gets into the thick of things as a street gang attempts to kidnap Branco's wife and the rest is a gore fest. Max now works for a private security firm at 'Sampa' and keeps an eye on property magnates and party animals Rodrigo Branco and his brothers. The game looks completely different from the previous installments as the sizzling heat and sleazy bars replace the dark shadowy back alleys of New York.
Gun-slinging Max Payne is back after almost a decade and is raring to spill some blood in the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
