Not a Max Payne game.

Bland story, bad writing, gameplay feels like a generic TPS and a prototype of GTA V. Nausea inducing and unnecessary effects on cutscenes and some gameplay moments. Pre-rendered cutscene to gameplay transition is jarring because the pre-rendered cutscenes are in 30 FPS.

This game doesn't feel like a Max Payne game at all.

Now I just finished playing Max Payne 3, and I can say this new version is really well adapted to the present and is a really entertaining game.

Now, even though the game is perfectly enjoyable (and rather addictive), if you start playing this game …

I played Max Payne 2 several years ago, and Max Payne 1 a bit later.

Now I just finished playing Max Payne 3, and I can say this new version is really well adapted to the present and is a really entertaining game.

Now, even though the game is perfectly enjoyable (and rather addictive), if you start playing this game coming from the previous two, you're probably going to be disappointed.

MP3, though the name, is not a Max Payne game. It's a completely different game that happens to share the main character.

Having said that, Max Payne 3 is a great game, with excellent graphics, an amazing level of detail to sound edition, perfectly okay background-music, realistic environments and a decent plot. Definitely worth playing.
