I just saw the news item in the www.news.com.au about Max Payne 3. I really don't into shooters at all these days (albeit ARMA2, a military sim), but what do you make of Max Payne 3? Will you get to choose where you go or do you follow a 'path' like in COD?The trailer looks awesome with lots of eye candy! But I want something to hook me in to the story, not just a shooter and everything around me being enemy.I feel that the look of this is 'nice' but the 'action' may be too repetitive?Maybe I should just plan another flight from New York to Paris and sit up with a good book and a coffee if I want a good story? Even with the movie Dragon Tattoo I believe the books are excellent. Same with the Lord of The Rings. Anyone that like TLOTRs and wants to watch The Hobbit (now really getting off topic!!) read the book first, its not as hard as the LOTR books by Tolkien and it is one of the best (thrilling page turners can't put it down) books (fiction) I have ever read.....

I've played the first two chapters and they were absolutely fantastic. Great noir stories full of drama, passion, characterization. Sure I won't miss the 3rd.CheersFabio

Speaking of noir. L.A. Noire was fantastic.The Max Payne series is nothing more than very action oriented brutal violence punctuated by taboo topics and foul language. It was awesome.

Im am looking for a used copy of L.A Noire for xbox 360. Looks like a story line kind of game. I really like ganes with storylines, almost like a movie but playable.

Is there a set path to it? Can you walk around the city and drive around the city or is it all 'linked' into a 'follow chain'?

Thanks for the HU regarding this game. Playing the first Max Payne was so utterly refreshing and from start to end it was just magic and like you were acting in a movie. A scipted game usually doesn't have that much replay value, but the bullet time sceneries were just too cool not to tried again and again. It seems as it is just the third person view, but I suppose it's the only way Max Payne should be played!I also saw the movie Max Payne - me and my bud were the only ones in the theatre! :D

I have the Max Payne movie, it's interesting. Like a super-violent comic book come to life.I did like the other Max Payne games but I've lost quite a bit of faith in virtually all PC games any more. I utterly can't stand walking (or flying) around following a little glowing marker that tells me where to go, taking the path that some game designer decided I HAD to take. That's probably my biggest complaint with Flight right now.I had been so excited for the new Operation Flashpoint game a couple years ago. O.F. was one of my older favorite games but just became too dated for me. It was great because they gave you a mission, and you ohad to figure it out by yourself. You had a map, a compass and a gun. I'm smart enough to look at a map and determine a good course of approach to an objective, so please let me.Same thing with the first Ghost Recon.I liked the America's Army game too but missed a single player element.Meanwhile, I found a Win7 compatible version of Fleet Command and have been enjoying that game once again with a friend.

I'm a huge fan OF Noah and loved Americas Army until about v3 or v4 when they went to entirely new maps...I think Max Payne is half movie, half game?http://video.news.com.au/2210542593/Max-Payne-3-Design-and-Technology-Series
