NowGamer: Max Payne 3 Preview

Setting Max Payne 3 in São Paulo is Rockstar's bravest creative decision to date. You've witnessed the company explore everything from an intricately structured school environment to an insane asylum where people throw their own poo in its decade-past output, yet tackling the troubled Brazilian city shows how able the company is to dive into gaming's untested waters. Sci-fi clichés and mafia-strewn gangster premises are ten-a-penny in the industry, but capturing an almost City Of God-like realistic South American setting is blatantly unique.
