The Max Payne 3 Soundtrack

One element of Max Payne 3 that will really surprise you is the soundtrack. Most fans, like me, were a bit sceptic at first after learning that HEALTH would be composing the score of Max Payne 3. This was mainly due the fact that they are unknown to most and produce a unique arrange of tunes. However, during play you'll immediately notice the music completes the game and is in fact so well crafted that you'll replay certain sections just because of it. HEALTH was the perfect choice. For those of you still playing or about to play on PC, this article is light on spoilers!

Following are, from my point of view, some of the best tracks featured on the original score of Max Payne 3. All songs are property of their copyright owners and can be edited, removed or altered at any time.

MAX THEME - Playing during the intro sequences. The ever famous Max Payne theme, played on a chello and supported by a choir. A much darker rendition.

The PC version of Max Payne 3 might have been postponed for a few days, but Rockstar definitly hasn't forgotten about PC gamers as they are treated with new information and screenshots today. PC World had a chance to ask Kevin Hoare about the PC version and how it will support different setups and graphic settings.

Last but not least, PayneReactor reader Alex Roth tipped us about an interesting article in which various movies that influenced or shaped Max Payne 3 are being discussed. You can read the article here.
