The first two Max Payne games were scored by Kärtsy Hatakka & Kimmo Kajasto, who set the tone of the series with dark, ambient pieces, mixing electronic, rock, and classical arrangements. What’s evident though, is that they clearly understood both what made the Max Payne soundtrack work in the past games, and what was missing from them. Of course, it shouldn’t have - Rockstar have proven many times that someone in their office knows their music, both old and new. Maybe I just identify with bitter and broken anti-heroes a little too much these days.īut what took me, and clearly many others, by complete surprise was the soundtrack. Say what you want about the story, McCaffrey is in fine form and delivers some wonderfully cynical put downs (my favourite: “ Rich parasites with delusions of humanity.“). Yet Rockstar exceeded them on almost every front - both in singleplayer and multiplayer.

It’s been almost nine years since the last game, and the idea of a bearded Max Payne with a skin head, shooting gangs in Brazil seemed wrong on paper. What can I say here? Obviously due to my modding background and past ties with Remedy, I had high hopes but low expectations for Max Payne 3.
Most of it isn’t too surprising, except for the Max Payne soundtrack. To round off the year, I thought I’d quickly take a look at my top albums for 2012.
