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. Combining cutting edge shooting mechanics with a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience from Rockstar Games.

Back in 2012, I got an A in school for a short story assignment, by plagiarising the campaign plot.

Max Payne 3 is the greatest 3rd person shooter of all time, the combat and gunplay are unmatched to this day. Wish we would get Max Payne 4.

RIP James McCaffrey for giving us the most grittiest, emotional, and well-spoken voice acting through all 3 games. Makes you feel like you are watching a movie and then being thrust into the action and playing as the most badass and heartbroken cop/ex-cop. Hands down my favorite trilogy in gaming.
Don't forget, this legend also voiced Alan Wake, Edward in Alone in the Dark 2008, and had a role in Control as well, so check those out.

Just finished the story mode on hard.
As a Brazillian, born and raised in the state of São Paulo, I can say that the team responsible for getting the info about the favelas, criminality, corruption and stuff based themselves primarilly on the 2007 movie "Elite Squad", which shows a little bit how things work in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, with lots of gang wars, the infamous "microwave" scene, kidnappings, the police incursions with bulletproof vehicles and stuff. In São Paulo, the organized crime is not as brutal as in RJ, of course we still have al lot of the things depicted in the game, but it's not as common. Also, if someone walks into a crime-taken favela as dangerous as they made Nova Esperança look like, that would be just a death sentence. Max would be dead before he could think of what he did wrong.
Also, I've noticed quite a few lines that either were spoken with the wrong accent (in SP there is mostly an accent of our own, or the northeastern one, and in the game it's possible to note both the RJ accent and also a little bit of Portugal natives too), or just wouldn't be spoken by any brazilian at all. It's the kind of thing that was not written in portuguese, and the translation job was good, but not perfect.
On the other hand, there are some lines that just someone from SP would say, and those lines really shine throughout the game. It's amazing to play a game developed in a foreign country, by a foreign team, where you can hear someone cursing just like your neighbors do on a daily basis.
Misconceptions aside, it IS a really good game, with an interesting story, most people who play it can't understand shit in portuguese and/or have never been in Brazil so those things I just pointed will make no difference at all, and even for someone like me, those mistakes are just something that adds some sort of funny touches to the game.
Putting it in short words, excellent game, but looks more like Rio de Janeiro than São Paulo.

Max Payne 3 retains the mechanics that made past games great, but modernizes them to the next level.
Still The Best Third-Person Shooter

Most underrated single player shooter OAT, no one ever talks about it yet it is so good. Wish there were more games like this.
