Roles where some of the romance scenes should be ringing alarm bells at Operation Yewtree HQ. Re-booting him into an unexplored role as opposed to having him age ungracefully like Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood who, rather embarrassingly, look like mid-life crisis divorcee grandads in their futile attempts to reprise roles from their 20s. Rockstar clearly wanted Max to have his Liam Neeson renaissance. are the bread and butter of CoD, unlike the original’s fleapit hotels and decrepit tenement blocks the originals seethed with decay and disappointment, reflected Max’s state of mind. Okay, that’s a tenuous link but Brazil’s locations, the shanty towns, offices, airports etc. This time Max is a bodyguard working for a shady businessman in Brazil not exactly a noir setting, I think one of the CoD Modern Warfare series was set there. The sequel was a more generic shooter but it was all about Max’s survivor’s guilt, and that killing was all he was ever good at. The original was a subtle retelling of the Ragnarök legend in a classic noir setting that played out like a graphic novelization of the actioners we grew up on. There’s nothing salvageable here MP3 is a Call of Duty reskin. TheMorty may come up with various nods to the original, argue it’s Max in spirit, that the main plot – Max trying to save a girl – is the Max Payne DNA, that’s it’s a Noir in spirit but no. My main gripe with Max Payne 3 is it’s not a Max Payne game. MP3 doesn’t even have Mona, just me moaning. Rockstar games usually get it right but this monstrosity is worse than the movie adaption. Max Payne 3 is one of my most hated games.
