Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of
its titular character, Max Payne. A new feature to the series, introduced in Max Payne
3, is the cover system, which allows players to gain a tactical advantage, and avoid
taking damage from enemies. To progress through the linear story, players take on
enemies throughout levels. The game features interactive cutscenes which transition
seamlessly into continuing gameplay; there are no loading screens across gameplay and
cutscenes.
