Rockstar Studios have finally launched the highly anticipated title of the year, Max Payne 3 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
The game is a third-person shooter enabling players to take the role of its titular character, Max Payne. Gamers have poured in hours of gameplay since the game's release.
For those looking to add some humor into the mix, Rockstar released a new downloadable content, DLC, called Gorilla Warfare. Players can download the pack from Xbox Live and PlayStation Network for free.
Upon installing the DLC, our hero Max will be donning a gorilla mask. Equipping the mask will give players extra adrenaline, more cash when looting corpses, and booby traps.
Check out the top 5 reasons Max Payne 3 is keeping players glued to the screen.
- Multiplayer
This is the first time in the series that a multiplayer mode is introduced. It comes with two unique multiplayer modes, Payne Killer and Gang Wars. In Gang Wars, up to 16 players can enter a battle as gang members following a particular story and each level will change depending upon what happened in the previous one.
In Payne Killer mode, two players take the role of Max and Raul Passo who will have to work together to win against six other players in survival mode.
- DLC:
Max Payne 3 comes with Downloadable contents (DLC) such as a map pack called Local Justice featuring Police Precinct map for Gang Wars, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Payne Killer multiplayer modes.
This will also include two additional maps for each mode including a new precinct-themed multiplayer avatar items, multiplayer challenges, and more. The features will be launched in June. However players can pre-order the DLC pack for Xbox Live and PSN from Best Buy and GameStop in the US and directly from PSN.
- Soundtrack
The game's Multiplayer DLC pack will also include a digital soundtrack by a Los Angeles band Health. The soundtracks will include a range of optimistic joy to dark and gloomy and it will blend into the game's revolutionary gameplay and its multiplayer mode. Players can tune to Health even as the protagonists battles with gangsters both in the single and multiplayer mode. The game's theme track is "Tears" and can be downloaded on iTunes which has been created with the game's changing mood.
- Arcade Mode:
Developers have also come out with two detailed arcade modes called Score Attack and New York Minute. In Score Attack, players will have to complete the single player mode after which gamers can replay the game and run for the highest score. In New York Minute mode, players battle on a one minute clock and awards additional time for every enemy that is killed.
- Bursts/Bullet Time
Developers have also included special abilities called "Bursts" even as players move up to the next level. It can be operated on the themes as the ones from single player.
The game also has a burst called "Sneaky" which changes the players' nameplate colour to make it look friendly to the opposing team. This allows players to sneak into enemy camps to capture points.
The "Paranoia" burst turns the opposing teams' nameplates to appear hostile to one another. The burst has three levels to be unlocked so that when players reach a higher level, the Paranoia will turn on friendly fire for the opposing team.
The game also comes with the innovative feature Bullet Time where Max has the ability to slow down time and attack the enemies before they can react.
