Totally underrated, underappreciated, and overlooked game. There was more hate on this game than praise, whether it was because Remedy didn't make Max Payne 3, the cutcenes weren't comic book style anymore, Max Payne shaves his head, or it wasn't set in New York anymore. I wish there be a fourth Max Payne.
I don't see how lack of freedom should be a negative considering this ISNT a sandbox game. That's like criticizing a chocolate milkshake because it doesn't taste like banana...
Don't cry, the BSer still said, "Amazing 9/10" LOL. This game is completely linear with no gameplay variety and extremely short (2 days). Levels take ages to load, yet you only get 1 door to open which takes you to the next area and a boring cut-scene - there's no exploration or side rooms to enter, just endless shooting to clear areas, repeat. No melee weapons or even grenades - what little there is to this game is clunky & glitchy. 5/10.
Goatlips u give it 5 out of 10 but only state the negative points and u must be playing on a potato if it takes u that long to load and is clunky and glitchy.
Goatlips sorry to say,but you are quite wrong when you say there are no side rooms,there are but you need to explore the levels properly,for example that cop you can encounter in some mission which requires you to go to a secret area in the map,plus you can replay the game to get the golden guns,try out the arcade modes etc the cutscenes may take long but they carry the plot further and also have some interesting parts wether it’s Max’s self conscience saying something,plus the multiplayer is fun.Also the gameplay isn’t that linear,it requires skill wether it’s making dives at the right time to get amazing kills and smart use of slowing down time,diving down a staircase and gunning down a bunch of enemies,it all feels rewarding and I understand the game of course comes with its flaws but no game is perfect,so it sure does deserve its rating of 9/10.
becasue this game is different that other simple games, it has tough story and great story line. I could beat Max Payne 1, 2 and 3 to just watching story and listening Max's narration. Shame that MP3 wasn't in NY, shame that it wasn't dark as Max Payne 1 but still was amazing. I love this series. Definitelly for adult players.
ClassicRockstarGames Just the matter of taste :) for me the best will be forever Max Payne 1. I remmember when I was playing in it. Back that days :) was sore winter and my first time with MP :) atmosphere was amazing. MP2 was great to but one place below MP1 for me. MP3 had amazing narration, as always, but yes. I agree. The best parts were in NY. And if MP3 would be there all the time I sure that MP3 would be my the best MP ever :) yeah Brasil is definitelly not in this atmosphere. But it won't anything that MP3 was game on 9/10 :)
Ikr , when it launched on PS3 in 2012...it could barely run at 720p@30 FPS...Played it again in 2022 January on an RTX 3070...damn 4K @60 was an amazing experience !
+Brandon Lopez I agree, the shooting feels so much better in MP3, the weapons feel heavier, deadlier, and the online mode is on par with Red Dead Redemption online. It's so intense, so demanding in terms of speed, reflexes and accuracy that when I switch back to GTA I'm kind of invincible lol. This game's got me gritting my teeth throughout whole levels. I'm still playing that game now, I might have beaten it a hundred times
I have to tell you something, I come back to this single review year after year, not for the game itself (sure, its an absolutely great game, I can't deny that), but it is for the memories I have with the video and review itself. The review's editing, music, and narration make this straight up one of the best videos I've seen in my life. Whenever I'm feeling down, I watch this. Whenever I want to feel badass, I watch this. Whenever I want to relive the glory days of the 360 generation, I watch this. Saying this video is a 10/10 is simply an understatement, and I don't think I'll ever be able to describe it in its glory
If Rockstar did what they just did with the first Red Dead and put Max Payne 3 out for current gen consoles at 4K/60 it would totally hold up. It looks great on PC to this day.
I personally couldn't get into the old games. I'm not saying they're bad, hell I find them to be great games. But I can't get into the for some reason. Also I don't have a problem with all the cut scenes in this game you know why? I play Metal Gear Solid. You probably don't get that joke.
***** I acknowledge the fact that the first 2 games where loved by many, and I totally see why people love them. When ever I play the first games I do have some fun. I like the story lines of all 3 of the games. The reason why I couldn't get into the older ones was because I found the gameplay to be a little confusing. Maybe one day I'll sit down, and play though the older ones.
Celebi734 I don't like it because in Max Payne 2, the story seems to have a decent ending and Max has found closure in the death of his wife and kid. But in Max Payne 3, it's like none of the events in the second game took place cause he's still bitter and pissed off
It's Daniel Krupa, the most level-headed reviewer in the entire IGN team at the moment. He usually handles movie reviews, if it wasn't apparent already.
its so fucking overrated lol, you call giving this piece of shit an 9 being underated? this game is full of bad fucking game and level design. the story, graphics and the rest are fine, but the core gameplay and gunplay is fucking garbage.
Have you played max payne 1 and 2?. There is a resemblence anyway its definetly one of rockstars strongest games. Manhunt are the most underrated game ever.
What a fantastic review, the editing of this is top notch using the split screen views just like the game does. Also the reviewer is a great narrator and really sells this game well. I normally don't notice the quality of video reviews but this was a great one.
I don't know, I just replayed the entire series, I wouldn't say no to more Max Payne, but I kind of liked the ending to the 3rd, almost felt like he managed to finally escape his demons, might be the happiest ending we could get.
50 percent of the comments: Max Payne is the most underrated rockstar game ever made. another 50 percent of the comments: The reviewer got such a wonderful voice.
Can we get more reviews from Daniel Krupa? He seems to have not only the best voice for video, he actually makes sense when he talks, all without using the cring-worthy adjective "awesome" like so many IGN reviewers use like a crutch when they can't think of anything original to say. Keep this guy on the payroll, IGN.
Noah B00m There's that possibility but I'm not sure I want a Max Payne 4. I think they've done all they can with the games and so a 4th entry will feel forced and unnecessary
Same here just cause people say its not gta well cause its not the only I mean only thing I didn't like is after you beat it and play it again you can't skip the cut scenes but I found out its loading screens in disguise as cut scenes which is smart love the game I could play it over over again gameplay and shooting feel so smooth
I love how Micheal in GTA V is based off him. The voice acting is similar, both wear a grey and white suit shirt combo and both have the slow time ability. Great!
Unfortunately, most GTA V fans wouldn't even know the fact that Michael is heavily inspired by Max Payne. They'll still appreciate how Michael is unique whereas he isn't actually.
First game I've ever beaten in one sitting, fantastic story and while some may hate the way cutscenes are plentiful, it really connects the story and missions fantastically, there's never a dull moment. And visually, it's still amazing, and looks better than many NEW games, if you play it on PC ofc.
lack of freedom? really? clearly this guy hasn't played the previous max payne titles. just because it has the rockstar logo on it doesn't mean its going to be like gta
Been playing max payne since I was a little bich ,but It just drops me to tears of how good ,of a god damn series this is. When I finished max payne 3 a few years back I layed down for about 20 minutes thinking of how I'd have to wait a bit more until I got to play a fourth installment.
On the contrary. RDR has a much more interesting story, better gameplay and better graphics. Overall it's superior in every aspect. I've seen gameplay of Red Dead Revolver and it doesn't look as good both graphically and in the aspect of gameplay. red Dead Revolver doesn't even have a lasso.
But the year when a game came out doesn't always mean that it's not as good...old games can be just as good as new ones. For example, COD MW1 is better than COD Ghosts ;P I'm just saying that redemption is better but I agree that revolver is a good game
just finished it yesterday for the second time, and man this game got one of the best shooting mechanic of all time(this game and red dead redemption 1 and 2 also made by rockstar), you know when it's a rockstar game, the gameplay is pretty simple but the attention to details is just mindfckingblowing!
Honestly i found only one really memoriable track in the Max Payne 3-Tears from the Airoport mission.In my opinion soundtrack for this game is average.
They really made Max look a lot like the Punisher in this game. Those two are just like each other also. Both have the same brutal violent story about losing a wife and kid and going out for revenge. Both have an anti hero-ish persona
+Michael Joyce that'd be his first game, the other 2 focus on trying either get back his life or redemption, both cases he screw up big time and goes all out on the grounds of self-defence
Though not perfect as a whole, there are a LOT of things this game does practically perfectly that most other games over a year later have yet to measure up to. The tightness of the shooting controls, the incredibly fluid animations, the realistic ways in which characters interact with weapons and the environment... Also have to mention the multiplayer's brilliant incorporation of Bullet Time and Shootdodge, which not only makes it feel like the only online game of its kind but also easily surpasses that "gimmick" feeling that you get with many other shooters built around a major feature like that (e.g. Fracture, Inversion, etc.). Can't help but feel disappointed that Rockstar's own GTA V hasn't quite carried over the same incredible shooting mechanics from MP3, yet at the same time, I'm also somewhat thankful, as it means that MP3 still has its own incredible niche that no other game has yet to fill for me.
This game is in my top 5 easily.. when you FINALLY find Fabianna 😢😢 that moment was up there with John Marston yoo. The best story in a videogame!!! It was like playing a movie
Rockstar has made so many fantastic games this generation cant wait to see what they come up with next gen. They had GTAV, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, and this. The only one i didnt like was GTAIV, but its Ballad of Gay Tony dlc made up for it.
***** I definately disagree. GTAIVs singleplayer is the only one i didnt finished. Niko was extremely uninteresting and all the missions were repetitive and boring. There were also barely any side activities to play in the singleplayer besides stupid games like bowling and getting constantly called up by your cousin sucked.
***** thats like saying mass effect has ea's mark on it. although ea did kinda fuck things up. rockstar will not do so. team bondi came with la noire and its awesome motion capture tech.
I need Max payne 4 Bully 2 Gta vi Gta sandreas remake Max payne 1 remake Max payne 2 remake Max payne 3 remastered Red dead redemption 1 in pc All i want rockstar...just make it
Everyone has become obsessed with "Open World" games. I love them, but I dont like having a huge empty world, Max Payne was so good because it had a great story, great mechanics and amazing writing, I don't care that it's not open world.
I had a dream I was playing max Payne 4 he was wearing a suit and had to machine guns bullet time was just so amazing. he was shooting I assume cia or fbi agents. I think the plot was he is trying to save this little girl from them or somethin. long story short rockstar needs to make a max Payne 4 !!!!!:).
I think that the only person who could pull off that "low and raspy voice of a broody tortured soul" successfully is Max Payne. Everyone else (Aiden Pierce and Batman) sounded totally stupid and generic using that voice.
GtaSanAndreas320 I suppose it's subjective. Hayter does it with a harder and rougher edge than Max, but Max does feel more organic. Steve Blum just makes any phrase of dialogue sound bad-ass, no matter the context. Pick your poison I guess.
The reviewer's voice is down right amazing. It is 50% commentator 50% narrator, 100% awesome. Why can't he do almost everything for IGN?
Agreed. GameTrailers have Brandon Jones. IGN should use this nameless dude.
KrisFrosz133 Isn't his name Daniel Krupa?
I think they picked him specifically for this review. To match the game more.

I think he sounded very much like Ricky Gervais.

So funny but true 👌
After 10 years, this is still one of the finest video game reviews, that I’ve ever watched.
Max Payne 3 is a timeless masterpiece.
By Far the Most UnderRated Game in history of RockStar ... I swear it have the best campaign ive ever played
It was because they had announced GTA 5 a year before
Totally underrated, underappreciated, and overlooked game.
There was more hate on this game than praise, whether it was because Remedy didn't make Max Payne 3, the cutcenes weren't comic book style anymore, Max Payne shaves his head, or it wasn't set in New York anymore.

and L.A noire and Bully.
warren byrne la noire was cool but got repetitive and boring to me
I like the first game the most

Its not underrated...It is so famous , and a lot of people are buying it
ClassicRockstarGames But max payne 2 wasnt made by rockstar
Remedy developed it,Rockstar published it.
Had this game for almost 10 years and just now getting around to actually playing it. It's quickly becoming one of, if not my favorite Rockstar game.
It’s amazing. Played it years ago and literally playing it right now.
Max Payne didn't have 1 bad game
It’s unbelievable. It’s my favorite combo of story and gameplay of any game I’ve played
Ikr , when it launched on PS3 in 2012...it could barely run at 720p@30 FPS...Played it again in 2022 January on an RTX 3070...damn 4K @60 was an amazing experience !
Its my favourite game series till date.
Seems like a bunch of idiots do reviews for IGN, this guy is the real deal. First quality review I see on this channel.
It's his voice...
XenittX No but also the way he says stuff and how objective he is. Today IGN reviews are less credible than a republican speech.
Less credible than any politician
IGN is the Donald Trump in the gaming industry.
+Issac Mathai What?
This is a great game. One of Rockstars best titles.
shane arnold 👍 game
Hell Yeah 💯
It's Rockstar's best game ever in terms of gameplay and combat.
This guy should narrate trailers for action films. He's just got that voice
Negan The Cuckster 👍
he sounds like boyd holbrook
Max payne 3 is the best max payne game in the series and probably one of the best rockstar games game I've ever played
This game deserves a 10/10 it is a masterpiece and way more fun then gta 5 my opinion.
no as good as the originals tho there story was wayyyyy better
***** but I like that Grim sad bleak NY setting
+Lee Worley There are a couple levels that take place in NYC, just not the whole game

Literally was replaying it today still stood the test of time
Why is it that so many people love this game, and so many people hate this game? I just don't get it. Personally I love this game.

Sadly I've never played MGS4. One reason was because I had an Xbox 360. Another reason is because I wasn't a big MGS fan until 2011.

Best game I've played this decade. Graphically and gameplay wise. Just a personal opinion I'm throwing out there.
Well it wasn't perfect in fact it wasn't very good at all, but it was gonna have to do. Jk it was great!
Noah B00m It was indeed. A fitting end to the Max Payne series in my eyes.
It might not be the end!!!

Max Payne 3 and GTA San Andreas are the best Rockstar games ever imo.
Love this game. .. A truly underrated masterpiece. . And the soundtrack is legendary
Honestly i found only one really memoriable track in the Max Payne 3-Tears from the Airoport mission.In my opinion soundtrack for this game is average.
We were blessed with this, Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2, and Far Cry 3 all in 2012.
this reviewer is amazing. IGN needs to let him do more work
Someone explain how this games character models and environments still look better than in current gen ubisoft titles.
Yeah
Rockstar needs to do a remaster of this.
They really made Max look a lot like the Punisher in this game. Those two are just like each other also. Both have the same brutal violent story about losing a wife and kid and going out for revenge. Both have an anti hero-ish persona
Instead of using Mark Walberg for the movie they totally should have used Frank Castle's actor...
Totally Mitch
+Michael Joyce that'd be his first game, the other 2 focus on trying either get back his life or redemption, both cases he screw up big time and goes all out on the grounds of self-defence
Grew up playing 1 an 2 at launch. Never got to 3 until recently on steam. Def a badass game that holds up great.
Though not perfect as a whole, there are a LOT of things this game does practically perfectly that most other games over a year later have yet to measure up to. The tightness of the shooting controls, the incredibly fluid animations, the realistic ways in which characters interact with weapons and the environment...

Why does this look and play better than GTA5 ?

Max Payne 3 has a better gameplay than any 3rd person shooter ever made
My all time favorite game.
Not enough hair - 7.6/10 - IGN
Abdul Rahman no ten out ten u fucker
This game is in my top 5 easily.. when you FINALLY find Fabianna 😢😢 that moment was up there with John Marston yoo. The best story in a videogame!!! It was like playing a movie
One of the best Rockstar games ever made. They need to port this over to PS4 and XB One. I still play the hell out of multiplayer.
One of the best shooters of 2012
Max Payne 3 on PC is the best 3rd person shooter of all time imo. the gunplay and combat is unmatched to this day
Time when IGN were an actual game journalist.
Rockstar has made so many fantastic games this generation cant wait to see what they come up with next gen. They had GTAV, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, and this. The only one i didnt like was GTAIV, but its Ballad of Gay Tony dlc made up for it.
***** There isn't much they could do with Jack since he killed the main protagonist.
they didnt make la noire. i agree about gay tony that made gta 4 awesome.
***** I definately disagree. GTAIVs singleplayer is the only one i didnt finished. Niko was extremely uninteresting and all the missions were repetitive and boring. There were also barely any side activities to play in the singleplayer besides stupid games like bowling and getting constantly called up by your cousin sucked.
***** thats like saying mass effect has ea's mark on it. although ea did kinda fuck things up. rockstar will not do so. team bondi came with la noire and its awesome motion capture tech.
The best combat in the history of Rockstar games and the best 3rd person action shooter ever.
One of best TPS for sure The Warriors is also a great Beat em up as well one of the best on PS2.
What an amazing game. One of my all-time favourites.
Came back 11 years later to hear this reviewers voice again (2024)
The amazing narrator is the reason I keep coming back to this review. It's a guilty pleasure... and I love this beautiful game :-)
This guy really put his work into this review

This guy needs to be in more IGN reviews. And maybe voice a few movie trailers.
Max Payne 4
👇
By far the coolest game with some of the slickest writing
Now on XBOX One!!!!
Everyone has become obsessed with "Open World" games. I love them, but I dont like having a huge empty world, Max Payne was so good because it had a great story, great mechanics and amazing writing, I don't care that it's not open world.
Best third person game I've ever played.
Been replaying it on Series S and it's still a fantastic game.
How ?
It's a masterpiece on PC it runs at average 185 fps on my pc with the highest graphics settings.
So....gimme one reason to hate Rockstar.
*****
Try again. That's no reason to hate them.
easy, GTAV it sucks soo bad
Will Palmer how come? gimme some clue.
Will Palmer I agree!
MahabubMithun They're used to Saints Row 3.
Where the hell is this reviewer now? His voice is amazing
Fits perfectly with the tone of the game
An Evergreen masterpiece !
Best underrated game ever made
man one of the best reviews I have ever seen! Why is this guy not there anymore???
He is. His name is Daniel Krupa.
To this day, IGN’s best review
By far the best IGN review.
Who is this narrator?? His voice is amazing!
I had a dream I was playing max Payne 4 he was wearing a suit and had to machine guns bullet time was just so amazing. he was shooting I assume cia or fbi agents. I think the plot was he is trying to save this little girl from them or somethin. long story short rockstar needs to make a max Payne 4 !!!!!:).
Holy crap what if it's a vision 🤔
Who knows I hope lol. If max Payne 4 ever comes out I was the first to know lol.
the series ended on a semi good note,Max has had enough
I thought you were referencing gran theft auto 5 for a second ha
Evil Dead Ikr it's been to long
Finally played this bad boy; it’s AMAZING. Can’t believe we ALL slept on this
I think that the only person who could pull off that "low and raspy voice of a broody tortured soul" successfully is Max Payne. Everyone else (Aiden Pierce and Batman) sounded totally stupid and generic using that voice.
David Hayter and Steve Blum pull off that style of voice acting flawlessly.
lambo pickle Max Payne still does it better.
You forgot wolverine.
GtaSanAndreas320 I suppose it's subjective. Hayter does it with a harder and rougher edge than Max, but Max does feel more organic. Steve Blum just makes any phrase of dialogue sound bad-ass, no matter the context. Pick your poison I guess.
He's the kinda character GTA never had
Why is lack of freedom counted as a criticism? This has always been a linear series...
Best of max payne.. You get more than you expect... Playing it now... Exceeded expectations. Not for kids. Pegi 18
