Max Payne 3 Special Edition Detailed

There I was, sat at my computer as the information trickled in. Max Payne 3 would be getting a special edition. It wasnt a surprise, these days everything gets a special edition, but it was pleasant. I was a fan of Max Payne. Its noir styling, over the top gunplay, bullet time effects. I took to the series to like a down and out detective takes to drinking.

March 2012 could not come soon enough, this was a game I was really looking forward to, but I had held off on pre-order. In the back of my mind I had a feeling this would happen and so I waited. And waited. And now here I am, writing the deatils Ive waited so long to read. Besides the obvious copy of the game, buyers of this special edition could expect a 10″ tall statue of the titular anti-hero Max Payne, a series or art prints depicting Max’s inner demons and vices, a bullet key-chain, obligatory DLC consisting of multiplayer characters and weapons, and a soundtrack of the games instrumental score.

I was excited, that much was obvious, and so the only question was one of price and availability. The cost was set to be £99.99, putting up there with Uncharted 3’s explorer edition in terms of cost, and is only available for pre-order until January 15th, making it actually limited, something many editions bearing the moniker tend to stretch. As for where to preorder I was still in the dark, frantically searching for someone to pay to secure myself a copy. Rockstar had hooked me already. Come March 2012 I was going to be a very busy man…

Max Payne 3 will be available March 2012 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC
