Xbox 360: Please note that this rental is sent with two discs in one sleeve

For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out. Featuring cutting edge shooting mechanics for precision gunplay, advanced new Bullet Time and Shootdodge effects, full integration of Natural Motion's Euphoria Character Behaviour system for lifelike movement and a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience from Rockstar Games. In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3 will also be the first entry in the series to introduce a thorough and engrossing multiplayer experience. Max Payne 3 multiplayer brings the same cinematic feel, fluid gunplay and sense of movement of the single-player game into the realm of online multiplayer. Using the fiction and signature gameplay elements of the Max Payne universe, Max Payne 3 features a wide range of new and traditional multiplayer modes that play on the themes of paranoia, betrayal and heroism, all delivered with the same epic visual style of the single player game.

Fantastic game!! Must buy!

[Highly rated reviewer]

This game is an absolute masterpiece, I loved it from start to finish, one of my favorites from Rockstar right up there with Red Dead. The gameplay is challenging and fun, and the cutscenes and story are blockbuster worthy, great voice acting also!!! A must buy!

Another example why renting is better than buying.

By Ricory (4 reviews) , 28 Nov 2012

This is a game that I really looked forward to, but was very disappointed.

Max Payne games have always had good stories told in a interesting narrative, especially the first game, this game too had the potential for a great story but sadly I will never know, the game-play is so terrible I just couldn't bring myself to go past the 3rd level.

The slow motion diving is annoying, 'slo mo' was fun back in 2001 when it was new, and used more subtly, but in this game you have to do it all the time to try and progress.

If I had bought this game I would have been back at the store in an instance, luckily I rented so only wasted a couple of days waiting for a new game to come through.

Try for yourself and decide, maybe I am just remembering how fun the first game was, but in my opinion this new development team have done a great injustice to the name Max Payne.

Epic story. Very clever twists and turns. It's like being in a film. I gave it a try to see what it was like and I have to say I wasn't disappointed!
