I only got to play this game for a few hours because I rented it through redbox. I'm sure it is like any other game where it gets better as the game goes along, but the little of this game I played was kind of boring. From the parts of the game I played, there was pretty much an even split between game play and story telling; there may actually have been slightly more story telling than game play.

The sole reason why I didn't put Max Payne 3 in the top 10 is because the gameplay felt quite repetitive and the AI was completely unfair. I still found the game fun because of its slow motion mechanic and the narrative style was very entertaining."

"Rockstar makes a Max Payne-game, and it's a really well written noir set in Brazil. That is not necessarily something you'd expect when you hear Max Payne 3, but this is thematically mostly very true to form despite being set in the sunny favelas and high-class clubs of Sao Paulo. The animation system that fuels the whole is perhaps one of the most beautiful things to come out of this generation of games graphically, and the writing holds up really well - atleast until the very last minute.
