Xbox 360 User Reviews

Max Payne 3 ist ein sehr guter Abschluss für die Max Payne reihe und ich finde nichts schlecht aber der Grund warum es für mich nur eine 8/10 ist, ist dass jeder Bereich des Spiels zwar gut aber nicht sehr gut ist.

This game is really good and has to be talked about more, but sometimes it can be real damn frustrating. We need a remaster or new entry in the series.

My Review – Max Payne 3 – 10/10 I gave Max Payne 3 a 10 out of 10 because it’s an intense, cinematic experience from start to finish. The story is dark, gripping, and full of twists, and the gameplay delivers satisfying gunplay with smooth mechanics and that classic bullet-time action that the series is known for. The level design is smart, the pacing keeps you hooked, and the atmosphere is incredibly immersive. Even years later, the game’s presentation, storytelling, and action sequences feel polished and thrilling. This is why Max Payne 3 is a 10 out of 10.

This game is an action movie but you are the main character. It is like a one man army movie like John Wick. At first the cutscenes very disturbed me because they put them everywhere. You go through a door and watch a cutscene then kill some enemies and then watch cutscene again, and they are not short ones. But then i realized it makes this game perfect. They wanted to feel like you were the star of an action movie. For a game like this you have to do combat mechanics very well as they are the only mechanics and they've done it.

çok güzel oyun işte fazla söze gerek yok o bullet time ile herkese hs ata ata gitmek yokmu ahh.. tek kelimeyle başyapıt..

Boring. Feels like a QTE, except you got to shoot sometimes and see some slow mo.

Rockstar Games did a fantastic job concluding the series. If the first games by Remedy were throwbacks to film noir of the 40's, then "Max 3" is a neo-noir. Its visual style was heavily influenced by Tony Scott's "Man on Fire". And the action was pushed to match the hardware's capabilities. While the shooting mechanics still feel like classic "Max Payne", the game has big epic moments right out of an "Uncharted" title. I didn't play much of the competitive multiplayer, but it was quite fun. Overall, I would rate this with a 9 out of 10

Please add FPS Boost support on The Xbox Series X|S . PLEASE ROCKSTAR GAMES

A Gripping Masterpiece (10/10) Max Payne 3 is not just a game; it’s an experience that transcends the typical boundaries of the action genre. From the moment you plunge into its gritty world, the game immerses you in a dark narrative filled with complex characters and a haunting atmosphere. The storyline follows Max Payne, a former NYPD detective turned bodyguard in São Paulo, as he grapples with his past while fighting against a backdrop of corruption, betrayal, and **** of the standout aspects of Max Payne 3 is its writing. The narrative is rich and layered, weaving a tale that is both personal and universally resonant. The game’s script is filled with sharp dialogue that feels authentic and deeply reflective of Max’s troubled psyche. The internal monologues are beautifully crafted, providing insight into Max's thoughts and emotions, which adds a profound depth to the **** dialogue is not only well-written but also expertly delivered. The voice acting is top-notch, with James McCaffrey reprising his role as Max, bringing a gravitas and vulnerability to the character. Each line is infused with a sense of weariness and dark humor that feels true to the series, enhancing the overall immersion.Moreover, the game's ability to balance the intense action sequences with moments of introspection is brilliantly executed. The writing captures the essence of noir storytelling, making every cutscene and dialogue exchange feel significant. The philosophical undertones and existential themes explored through Max's journey elevate the game beyond mere shooting mechanics, engaging players on a deeper **** terms of presentation, Max Payne 3 excels with its stunning visuals and atmospheric sound design, which complement the writing perfectly. The cinematic flair and innovative storytelling techniques, including the use of graphic novel-style cutscenes, further enhance the narrative **** conclusion, Max Payne 3 is a masterclass in storytelling within video games. Its exceptional writing and dialogue not only serve to propel the plot forward but also leave a lasting impression on the player. This game is a must-play for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted narrative combined with thrilling gameplay—an unforgettable journey that deserves its perfect score.

I find it hard to believe that Rockstar have still not started doing anything about the continuation of Max Payne 3, It is in my opinion one of the best third person shooters of all time.

This game could have been better. The beginning of the game is perfect, but if you get to the end of the game, bugs and how many NPCs there are like in the 80s throw you. 2 painkillers fill the life of a single bullet.

Replayed on Xbox series X in 2024. A Rockstar gem. The only problem is that it continues at 30fps on Xbox, a shame. The point and shoot system is very satisfying. One of those games that is always worth replaying!

Max Payne é um jogo extremamente repetitivo, não há progressão, os inimigos não são variados, o jogo começa de um jeito e não tem nenhuma evolução na gameplay, não há árvore de habilidades, não tem nem mesmo granadas, achei o jogo maçante e chato, a história é excelente e profunda, mas não salva. O jogo poderia ter a metade da duração, ou simplesmente ter missões mais variadas, sejam stealth ou até mesmo de sniper.

I love this game, it's very good. It is a bit short for a Rockstar game though, but other than that it's solid.

One of the best TPS of all time. I loved it, Amazing combat, amazing soundtrack, amazing story, apart from some issues this game is a true masterpiece.

Rockstar Games developed this belated sequel to Remedy's classic shooters. It has a more contemporary setting, but retains the "film noir" aspects. The bigger scale action is very Hollywood-esque and rivals the "Uncharted" games. Rockstar also added bonus modes, unlockable golden weapons and competitive multiplayer to the mix. It's just as good as its predecessors. Overall, I would rate this with a 9 out of 10.

Feels insanely good. I lost track of time playing this. The story tries to do things that it doesn't commit to, especially in terms of commentary about racism, colonialism/imperialism, racism, etc. They end up feeling hollow because of Rockstar's mistreatment of workers.

This game on an Xbox Series with a proper 4K TV looks like it just came out. And plays better than most games which came out this year. Fact. Play this game. NOW.

This is not game, this is movie. Repetitive TPS game with more cutscenes where Max is talking nonsense. Stranglehold is better than this bulls..t.This score is crazy man,definitely doesn't even deserve 50 points.

böyle bir aksiyon oyunundaki heyecanı hiçbir oyunda alamazsınız gerçekten oyun size aksiyonu çok iyi veriyor alın oynayın oynattırın.

Best TPS game of all time with some of the best gunplay in terms of tight controls great physics and bullet wounds and slow mo along side a kill cam really set this game apart from other TPS games.

Today out of boredom I played Max Payne 3 and dedicated the entire day to it. This game is still great despite almost twelve years having passed. In 2024, the game is still good and hasn't lost its **** shooting mechanics, bullet time, still demonstrate that an action shooter can be interesting and have its own mechanics. I like the mechanic of coming back to life if you had healing on you; it's quite an interesting concept for those (like me) who forget to use previously acquired healing **** for the storyline, it shows that it was possible to write a well-crafted plot and conclude the story of the titular character in a good way. The concept of sending a former cop, Max Payne, to work as a bodyguard for some wealthy personality is great. The idea of involving him in such intrigue is also dazzling and refreshing for those times. This storyline presents itself much better than in most AAA games from 2020-2024.I recommend this game to everyone who hasn't played it yet. Anyone who would like to play it should play the previous parts. However, it's not required; it can be understood without it, and that's also good. Still, anyone who played this game in the years 2012-14 should play it again!

Amazing arcade style shooter with super fun mechanics and awesome physics. Definitely one of my must plays, I can't recommend this game enough!

Due to the stringent nature of my parents, I was only permitted to play Max Payne 3 instead of Grand Theft Auto 5. I found this game to be exceptionally impressive, particularly in terms of its gunplay, gory visuals, and captivating graphics. I thoroughly enjoyed Max Payne 3, particularly the slow-motion shooting sequences it featured. I am eagerly anticipating the prospect of Rockstar developing a fourth installment or eventually releasing a port of Max Payne for the PS4.

Playing this at the end of 2023 ! Amazing game . Its like Developers forgot how to make great games with great storys like max payne 3 . Graphics hold up good as well. 10/10.

Melhor jogo da Rockstar alguma vez feito, boa jogabilidade , bons grafícos, e um enredo foda criam uma continuação ou remake para essa obra de arte

My God, the story, the gameplay, the speed, the gore, everything was better. It was everything I wanted and more. I hated some of the story, but I understood that it was part of Payne's curse. Great game, really recommend the trilogy :D

It's a must to play it.

Max Payne 3 is the peak of the 3rd person shooter genre.

8/10

Hands down the best TPS game of all time the Physics,Tight and fuild Gunplay combined with bullet holes entries and exit holes make this thepincclucle of theThird person shooters and still feels as good to play today as it day over ten years ago. Max as chracter in maxpayne 3 is also one of the best in gaming.

If Xbox can't figure out why they aren't at least going toe to toe with Sony these days, it's because they forgot how to release games like these. One of the best shooter franchises, no stealth, just balls to the wall fire-fights. The story is grim, but pairs well with the intense action.

Feels like I'm back to when I was 11 years old before GTA V ever came out, when I first played it, it was kind of hard for me to remember when I ever played it, a few days ago when it was for sale on Games for Gold deals I decided to buy again since I recently brought Hyperkin's revision of 360 controllers for Xbox One and Series game consoles when I started playing it again, I'm starting to feel the Payne inside of me following the old roots of the game, the weapon wheel was familiar to GTA V one, and the combat was almost GTA as well, but I ignore quite well when I was playing as Max Payne, the story was great during its time, I was loving the Payne of the action and drama genre of the scenes, it wasn't Payne of me dying about 50 times in my playthrough and when I got done playing the story now I'm starting to feel the Payne of The Max

The granddaddy of bullet time returns with a similarly lead-riddled storyline involving a kidnapped Brazilian heiress. The blasting is pretty much non-stop to the point where it resembles a third person version of a shooting gallery game thanks to the linear structure and a total lack of variation in gameplay. Technically well done but those not so enamoured with shoot 'em ups will find it very, very repetitive.

Max Payne are legendary games. The first two parts have a dark and dirty setting. Max Payne 3 has another approach, which works just as good. Overall rating: 8.8.

Max Payne 3 is the pinnacle of third-person shooter games. While the previous two titles were developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Rockstar Games, this installment was both developed and published by Rockstar. Although it sheds some of the layers of the past, such as the heavy emphasis on neo-noir elements and trading in the dark and lonely nights in New York City for sunny and crowded days in São Paulo, Brazil, the title feels like a natural evolution of what came before. Max’s character remains consistent with his journey in the previous games, and the plot follows a similar formula and story beats to the original titles. The gameplay of Max Payne 3 is often cinematic and brutal. Shooting feels exceptionally polished, coupled with enhanced returning features, and new mechanics that further strengthen the intense combat. Like previous installments, the plot of Max Payne 3 is divided into several chapters that are sorted into three acts. Max, himself, serves as the narrator of the events of the game, while occasionally chiming in with thoughts that he has in certain moments. The game is also told in a nonlinear fashion, as it opens with a look at the final confrontation, and a few of the chapters take place in the past, establishing Max’s reason for moving to São Paulo. The cast of this title is fairly small, with only a handful of clients and antagonists for players to keep track of during the narrative. Nearly a decade after the tragic events of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, a new crisis surfaces in South America. Left with few options following a bloody scuffle in New Jersey, disgraced former NYPD detective Max Payne flees his home country to pursue what is promised as a temporary distraction. However, what should have been a string of easy paydays quickly devolves into more of the same bloodshed on different lands. Outnumbered, outwitted, and outgunned, Max quickly comes to the realization that he has bitten off much more than he was ready to chew: facing death at every turn, with few reliable allies, unable to speak the local language, at his lowest point of health, in unfamiliar territory. Grappling with severe addiction and long-held misery, Max drags himself along from failure to failure until he finally comes to a costly realization: Max must swear off his demons and adapt to this new environment, committing himself fully to unraveling a terrible conspiracy. Choosing to drive his own stake deep into the matter, Max openly challenges near-endless waves of bloodthirsty gang members and soulless paramilitary brutes. His unstoppable rampage through the tattered state of São Paulo echoes the ferocity of the Max Payne of old, as the former detective desperately chases after a chance to right old wrongs, avenge his fallen clients, and claim a recovery long overdue. Eleven years later, Max’s third outing continues to be a tough comparison to many recent third-person shooters. This game is an old school shooter, primarily guiding the player’s focus to two elements: the narrative and the shooting. There are no side quests or upgrades for the player to grind out, as progression is based solely on the player’s skill as they navigate through their difficulty level of choice. With linear chapters, little side content that disrupts the flow of the narrative and levels, and a lack of role-playing elements that may otherwise over-bloat the game, Max Payne 3 excels in compelling players to root for its titular character as he fights his way toward his new lease on life. This installment is stocked with a vast array of weapons to wield, new cover and second chance systems, and updated Bullet Time and kill cam mechanics. Gunplay and intensity reach cinematic peak in this installment. Varied level design, a lack of load screens and natural transitions between cutscene and gameplay, immersive physics, heavily detailed environments, brutal gore, and relentless enemies only add further compliments to the experience. The game even delivers a sequence that manages to create a pure adrenaline rush and captures the kind of climactic cinematic experience seen in levels like the Suicide Mission in Mass Effect 2 and the final Warthog Run in Halo 3. Max Payne 3 is among the best shooters I have played, sporting a strong pairing of polished gunplay and an inspired character journey. Rockstar’s contribution to this series is an underrated title that gives a fitting sendoff to its haunted protagonist and an action experience that is worth playing through to completion. Thankfully, all three Max Payne titles were added in with the final batch of games made backwards compatible on newer Xbox consoles, allowing for many more players to experience the entirety of this series.

Good to see you finally retire, Max! Especially in my country! Look, Max Payne 3 is a fine game. I had a lot of fun with it and loved finally concluding this trilogy. The gameplay was improved from the previous one, they managed to successfully change the environments and the game's tone. The writing is still pretty cool and Max is still a badass protagonist. Voice acting alone could convince you to fall for this game, in fact. Even if it feels, at times, quite forced, with exaggerated plot points and murky point of views. But it IS supposed to be a moody noir game after all and they manage to sell this through storytelling, bloody set pieces and frenetic gunplay. I also really liked how they set this one in Brazil. Not only for the necessary change of pace that the game (and character) needed, but also from the perspective of someone who lives in a coastal city in São Paulo. They hyperbolize and dramatize the country's crime gangs A LOT, but they did it in an interesting way, nailing a few of the environments, from the rich to the poor ones, as well. What mostly **** this game up are problems from the past, though. The same things I hated back in the previous both games are still present. Somehow improved, sure, but still a mess. Clunky aiming, weird cover system, too edgy, mindless shooting endless enemies, repetitive level design, weak replay factor, Max Payne's life is made of thin paper and too many bullet-sponge-soldiers. I swear, you could shower someone in bullets but some **** just refused to fall. Felt like Gears of War, but without sense, because you fight humans here. Playing this game on harder difficulties must not be fun at all. I also felt like this game took longer than it should. Outstaying your welcome by doing the same flaws, repeating things over and over, just isn't good. Especially right at the end of a trilogy, with an actual cool story. It just kills the rhythm. So, yeah, I'm glad Max finally retired. It was a fun ride and I do recommend this game if you've played the other ones. But, honestly, I'm pretty much done here. Enjoy Bahia, Max!

Um bom game. Adaptação do Brasil fraca. Com dublagens, nomes e diálogos toscos.

Fiel aos 2 primeiros jogos... com um dos melhores enredos que ja experimentei.. Recomendo

I love this game I played it when it first came out and now again on the Xbox series x great story great graphics takes the best from the old Max Payne games mixes it up with gta like game play...

This is probably my favourite Xbox 360 shooting game that is only let down by the cutscene you can skip if you want to play the game again. The cutscenes are very good to work that and good to watch but sadly. They take away too long off the game time. I would have liked are always skippable. This is one of those games. I recommend in playing on normal at least if you using a controller because the game crave so much precision that I would recommend it, energy getting pierced by the bullet and the movement feel heavy so it feels good to move. I can hear they have a different writer for Max Payne and he is still the same voice actor but the way he talks is different I get used to it, but it isn't the same exit in the two first games. Everytime I play this game. I want to enjoy it as much as possible and for that. I will recommend staying in cover as Little as possible because just you shootingdodging all the time is way more fun.

On xbox 360 rockstar give what we the fans deserve HARD CORE ACTION GAME with the legendary MAX PAYNE probably one my favourite game.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Bello sparatutto in terza persona. Divertente, buona grafica, giocabilissimo, e bella colonna sonora.

For 360 this game was average. I loved the story, that alone was a 10/10. I just hated the cut scenes and the blur they would do in the game. It really dropped the score for me. I would love another one. I really would. Or a remastered edition. I would very much enjoy giving this game another chance with it's minor flaws fixed. It has so much potential to becoming a perfect game.

Eventually, the GTA and Max Payne sensibilities came together. It's the most cynical, gory and cinematic Max Payne to date. Also, that's why it feels really dated in 2022. Pros: * James McCaffrey now portrays Max not only in voice, but also in body. * You can shoot grenades mid-air. * Sao Paolo looks really dirty, levels are highly detailed and you get onto shoot outs all over the sightseeing spots. In general, replacing NY cold with SP heat was a stroke of genius. * They don't translate Portuguese! That feels very authentic and helps to show Max as gringo. * I enjoyed the storyline here better then MP2 (yes, it's an unpopular opinion). Cons: * This game has more cutscenes than shootouts (ok, I'm exaggerating a little). But during the second play-through that becomes much more visible and annoying. That part didn't date well. * The over-the-top brutality entertained me 10 yrs ago (as I've never seen anything like that before), but now it feels overly gratuitous and not necessary. This game is a teenager take on what 'adult content' looks like. * Gameplay itself gets old faster then it should. W/o auto-aim the game is too hard. With auto-aim -- too easy. It had never found a difficulty balance for me that I could enjoy. * The resolution is too low. I played this on Series X, and the age shows in resolutions. Models and levels are cool. But any time you need to shoot smth in the distance, you start pixel hunting. * Achievements are unreasonable.

10 años después lo volví a Jugar ...y sigue siendo una historia cruda, de traición. Aun me engancha el disparar a todos y buscar la redención ....

Весёлая игруха с классным сюжетом и геймплеем! Что вам ещё нужно от игры? Графон? Тут его нет, но это же xbox 360, тут его и не должно быть.

Great, intensive gameplay, nice plot, incredibly enjoyable shooting. Love the game!
