Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne. A new feature to the series, introduced in Max Payne 3, is the cover system, which allows players to gain a tactical advantage, and avoid taking damage from enemies. To progress through the linear story, players take on enemies throughout levels. The game features interactive cutscenes which transition seamlessly into continuing gameplay; there are no loading screens across gameplay and cutscenes.

Released 15 May 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC (Microsoft Windows) and Mac by Rockstar New England and Rockstar Vancouver, published by Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive. Rated 18 by PEGI, 18 by USK. About 11.5 hours to beat, 22 hours for everything. Up to 16 players online.

Story

Throughout the single-player mode, players control Max Payne, a former detective who has become a vigilante after the murder of his wife and daughter. Nine years after the events of the second game, Max becomes employed as a private security contractor in Brazil, but quickly becomes entangled in a quest filled with death and betrayal.
