SAM LAKE MAX PAYNE 3 SERIES

Sam Lake: Ive been a big comic-book fan all my life. Not a good starting point since it spoils most of the first and second games. Now that Max Payne 3s out, maybe you figured youd catch up with Max Paynes drug-addled life by. If you're not then don't bother especially if you plan on getting into the series.

SAM LAKE MAX PAYNE 3 SERIES

Verdict: Buy it if you're a fan of the series and want some Max Payne merchendise on your shelfs. This hardcover graphic novel is 52 pages long, but you could get a hardcover book with Its also a bit overpriced for what you're getting. In these flashbacks are really just a series of short stories that might last anywhere from 1 panel to about 4 pages. In the sequel he was replaced by chiselled soap opera actor Timothy Gibbs. The only difference is that Max Payne goes into more detail on his past and that's about it. In the first game, writer Sam Lake provided a now infamous grimace for the character. Lake continues to write for Remedy Games, including plotting the story and the script for their 2010 psychological action thriller Alan Wake and the upcoming Quantum Break.

The story is basically Max Payne re-telling his past in a bar in a New York City before his travels to Brazil which is literally the same as one of the scenes in Max Payne 3. Sam Lake was the lead script and story writer on the first two Max Payne games, known for their neo-noir authenticity and pulp style. It pains me to say this, but if you're not already a fan of Max Payne it'd be a waste of time to read this. Max Payne is an interesting book for someone interested in learning about Max Payne's past such as his early childhood, his relationship with his wife, etc but for someone who's look for an action packed story I'd re-direct them to the actual games.
