Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne. Max Payne 3 features a similar over-the-shoulder camera as its predecessors, with the addition of a cover mechanic, while also retaining much of the same run-and-gun style of gameplay. Max Payne 3 also marks the return of bullet-time in action sequences, for which the franchise is notable.
In bullet-time it is possible to see every bullet strike an enemy in detail. New to the series is a “Last Stand” mechanic, which gives the player a grace period after losing all health during which time the player may kill the enemy that wounded them in order to continue playing, however this mechanic is only usable if the player has one or more bottles of painkillers in their possession.
We used the image quality settings, highlighted above. Total video memory demand was 1270MB.
One of my favourite games from last year and very impressive running on the ARIA Gladiator Warbird 660.
very nicely priced. Do they sell them with the OS and drivers all installed? would be ideal for my dad.
Interesting to see power consumption tests too. I would have thought that system would be closer to 500w under load. Amazing how wrong I was.
DIdnt even know they made systems. thats very good. I actually like the idea of not paying for another OS as ive 10 licenses of Windows 7 !
great review
The only thing id change would be the case? do they offer even a white case? Those piano black designs drive me nuts too. My last case was like that and it was a mess everytime I looked at it.
@DAVIS – Yes we do. Just call the sales team who can make a note of this during test stage.
@JOE – We can swap out the case no problems. Just give our sales team a call who will be happy to help you.
Aria have increased the price by £200 to £1200 so this is no longer a bargain, in fact it is way overpriced and Aria are basically conning peeps by linking to kitguru – kitguru should remove their recommendation as the system has increased in price.
