Everything about Stranglehold screamed Max Payne from the get-go. This was one of the most anticipated games back in 2007, especially by those who already got their hands on the demo. Wanted: Weapons of Fate isn’t a perfect game, but it sure has its good moments every now and then. Instead of waiting for enemies that are taking cover to pop up, the player can use the mechanic which is essentially an enemy tracking bullet. In addition, this is where Wanted: Weapons of Fate shines with a unique borrowed technique from the movie called ” Curved Bullet ”. Its usage essentially allows the player to take out an enemy while activating bullet-time for a short period of time. One unique idea is the melee finishing move. The aforementioned puts great emphasis on the cover system and implements all the mechanics that you would expect from a standard 7th gen third-person shooter. Wanted: Weapons of Fate’s gameplay has some engaging mechanics, and other mediocre ones as well. He’ll hunt down the immortal, and finally solve the truth about his family.
After accomplishing several missions, Wesley will seek the french chapter of the fraternity, the organization responsible for the killing of his mother. After he gets rid of them, he comes across a picture of his mother which reminds him of some dreams he was having about a mysterious guy who murders his mother.
In the beginning, Wesley is attacked by SWAT-like soldiers in his apartment. It picks up with Wesley Gibson, as he continues his transformation into a complete assassin. The story of the game is set five hours after the events of the original movie. Don’t expect much from this game since it will not blow you away, but one thing I can guarantee you is that it’s worth your 4 hours time for its endless shooting action gameplay. The game is based on the movie of the same name. Publisher: Warner Bros Interactive EntertainmentĬoming next in the list is Wanted: Weapons of Fate. If you are looking for something similar to Max Payne or Tomb Raider: Legend, be sure to check this one out, it’s a blast. This, in particular, enables the player to activate bullet-time action which allows the protagonist to rain enemies with infinite bullets. From running on walls to grabbing on ledges and jumping around from corner to corner. In addition, Rubi is able to perform acrobatic movements. Rubi is able to take on a plethora of enemies using her sword and her two guns. It’s a combination of Stranglehold and Tomb Raider. The aforementioned is a bounty hunter who is tasked with dangerous missions in which she has to hunt down her targets and finish them off once in for all. When it comes to the story, the game puts you in the shoes of the female protagonist, Rubi Malone as she is thrown into a merciless world filled with murderers, drug dealers, double-crossers and other tougher enemies. Well, it refers to wet work which means a messy job or task that involves killing a large number of enemies in a brutal way. In case you are wondering why the game is titled ” Wet ”. Max Payne and Lara Croft had a baby together. WET can be summarized in a short sentence. These games will find their way to remind you of Maxy and his dangerous adventures. In the quest to discover more games like, I discovered a few games similar to Max Payne in terms of gameplay mechanics and the usage of bullet-time.
Some succeeded, while others failed miserably. If we take a look back, Max Payne helped the mechanic gain the recognition it has today.Īfter Max Payne stopped receiving new releases, several developers tried to mimic what made the latter an intense action game. In fact, they’re still uncommon to this day. Nothing has come close to Max Payne in terms of what it delivered during its lifetime, especially during an era when games featuring bullet-time were uncommon. The franchise is usually associated with an irresistible euphoria of epicness that no game has been able to emulate even after almost a decade. That case aside, Max Payne 3 left a glaring hole on its way out, a void that hasn’t yet been filled. Some argue that Max Payne 3 didn’t reach the heights of its predecessors and the franchise, as a whole, went out on a whimper.
