The thing that I most loved about Max Payne 3 was that when I died, which happened a lot, I didn't even care. I got to play that area again, try a different tactic, experiencing a different style of opposition. I wasn't set back to the start of the whole level, I didn't have to redo half an hour of identical gameplay, I didn't have to watch all the cutscenes all over again - I just stepped back and tried again. This is the least frustrating shooter I have ever seen, and it's constantly a pleasure to play.

The game will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 on May 15 (US) or 18 (Rest of World), and soon after for PC on May 29 (US) or June 1st (Rest of World). I played mostly on Xbox 360, which took some getting used to, but I think was a more immersive and challenging platform. PC looked a lot easier, with the accuracy of the mouse making enemies just a click away, but it was so easy you didn't benefit from shootdodge and bullet time and the scry experience that some of the fights were. After much thought, I think despite me not being particularly good at it, I'll choose Xbox as my platform for this game.
