One of the most high-octane, john woo inspired action sequels, with noir driven story and dialogue that hypnotizes it's players. Late actor James McCraffrey delivers one of the best raw, deep and aloof voice performance in a video game about a gun toting protagonist with nothing to lose. This third entry served as a definitive experience to one gaming's greatest video game characters. You cannot call yourself a gamer without having played any of the Max Payne games.
joguei no Xbox360 e pra mim foi uma experiência maravilhosa, gostaria de comprar e jogar no meu pc e desfrutar desse jogo maravilhoso de ótimos gráficos e uma jogabilidade excelente.

Absolute best third person shooter Rockstar ever made. No open-world slop, no driving for 15 minutes straight to a mission objective, just pick a level and start blasting. I'd love to be able to play this game DRM-free without that Rockstar Launcher crap! The unskippable cutscenes are annoying but can be fixed with a mod, letting you experience more gameplay without the story obstructing you constantly. The gunplay and ragdolls are so good, the best Rockstar has ever made. Not even GTA V has gunplay and ragdolls this good! The weapons are powerful sounding, too. I spent 300 hours on the Steam version just replaying my favorite levels in Arcade Mode (unlocked once you clear Story Mode at least once)! The Arcade Mode adds much more replay value as it always sticks you into the first gunfight of each chapter, letting you bypass the mandatory slow-walking segments that some chapters start with.

I have this game on DVDs but because they added a requirement that you must install Rockstar program to play it; however, I wasn't able to play unless I turn off the internet. Their program is so buggy and their IT are useless in recognizing the problem even after telling them of what the exact issue is. Thus I wish GOG sells the game without requiring Rockstar program to play it.

I don’t think this will ever happen, since the game is also on RGL, but we can hope. Not many people actually like MP3 because of its long cutscenes and the shift away from the comic-style dialogues, but as someone who played the first two games, I really enjoyed it and would love to have it in my GOG library as well.
**Why *Max Payne 3* Is the Best in the Series and Needs to Be on GOG** *Max Payne 3* stands as the boldest and most emotionally intense entry in the iconic series. While the original two games pioneered the noir-inspired narrative and bullet-time gameplay, *Max Payne 3* took things to another level—offering a gritty, cinematic experience that perfectly blended storytelling with refined third-person shooting mechanics. This game represents the evolution of Max as a character. No longer the trench coat-wearing cop in snowy New York, Max is older, more broken, and drowning in painkillers and regret. The narrative dives deep into themes of guilt, addiction, and redemption, making it the most mature and emotionally resonant story in the trilogy. Rockstar Games brought their signature storytelling flair, turning Max’s downward spiral into a tragic, unforgettable journey. Gameplay-wise, *Max Payne 3* is a masterpiece of refined combat. The shooting is responsive, weighty, and brutal. The use of bullet time is smoother than ever, with stylish animations and impactful kill cams that make every firefight feel like a movie scene. The physics-driven enemy reactions, destructible environments, and dynamic cover system elevated it far beyond its predecessors. It *needs* to be on GOG because it’s a piece of modern action-game history. A DRM-free version would not only preserve this masterpiece for future generations, but give fans a way to experience its powerful narrative and intense gameplay without being tied to outdated launchers or online restrictions. *Max Payne 3* deserves a permanent place in the PC gaming hall of fame—and on GOG’s shelves.

Crimson Skies
Crimson SkiesThe series is set within an alternate history of the 1930s invented by Weisman and McCoy. Within this divergent timeline, the United States has collapsed, and air travel has become the most popular mode of transportation in North America; as a result, air pirates thrive in the world of Crimson Skies. In describing the concept of Crimson Skies, Jordan Weisman stated he wanted to "take the idea of 16th century Caribbean piracy and translate into a 1930s American setting."
