Though we've experienced these sorts of moments in gaming now for some time, it still excites here-especially since Rockstar has peppered in a dozen "climax" moments involving mandatory slowdown showdowns with a half-dozen crooks, usually while Max is somehow flying through the air via some random mechanism.
When its Matrix-inspired action moments give the player a slow-motion ballet of bullets and bad guy collisions, it can be exceptionally thrilling.

This time, however, Rockstar has upped the ante and given the game its de rigueur treatment: the still-thrilling mechanics are all wrapped up in a heavily cinematic skin of wall-to-wall cut-scenes, narration, and enough adult content to choke Disneyland.

Since it's been that long since the release of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, the fact that Rockstar Games has brought back the series gives rise to thoughts of bringing back the dead.

This week it was announced that Rockstar and Remedy are teaming up to remake Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. Three games, one character, three faces, one voice. The resonant, whisky-soaked voice of McCaffrey has been a welcome constant in the series, but the countenance of everybody's favourite revenge-obsessed cop is ever changing. Finally, in Max Payne 3, Rockstar used the face of longtime voice actor James McCaffrey. In the sequel he was replaced by chiselled soap opera actor Timothy Gibbs.
