However, when the wife of one of the Brancos is kidnapped by an unknown group, Max and his bodyguard associate Raul Passos set out to find those responsible and wreak havoc along the way. His job is to provide protection and security for a wealthy and powerful Brazilian family known as the Brancos. The story starts with Max trying to escape his past by taking a job in Brazil working as a bodyguard. Fortunately however, Max Payne 3 is definitely not showing its age at all as this was a fantastic ride from the moment I jumped into the game. He is battling a lot of inner demons along with some huge guilt and a substance abuse problem. He looks considerably older and a little haggard. Unfortunately, the years have not been kind to Max. Well it has been 9-years since the previous Max Payne game, so Max Payne 3 arrives with some great anticipation.
Leaping in the air with my dual wielding pistols while shooting bad guys in slo-motion was simply a rush and left me feeling like a Hollywood star. It had an interesting story, cool presentation and style, and most importantly was a lot of fun to play. One of the most memorable third person shooters I ever played was the first Max Payne game for the PC.
