Max Payne 3 — the third part in a series of futuristic third-person shooters with the constant atmosphere of the film Noir. Max Payne 3 was developed by Rockstar Games, which took on a franchise from Remedy Entertainment. The game is set a few years after the events presented in the second part of the series. Max Payne, a former NYPD officer, is forced to accept work as a bodyguard for an influential family in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It seems that trivial work soon turns into a vicious struggle for survival. The creators of Max Payne 3 sought to maintain the atmosphere characteristic of the first two games. There is also a «trademark» function of the series bullet-time slow sequences.
