Max Payne 3

This Week's UK PS3 Top 20 Charts

Max Payne 3 has jumped in slow-motion straight to the top of the charts this week, lodging a few bullets in the face of Sniper Elite V2 and FIFA Street along the way.

The Rockstar-developed grumpathon, which we rather liked, has outsold its predecessor by 10-1, making it the biggest launch of the year ahead of Mass Effect 3. Indeed, such was its success that across all formats it outsold the long and highly anticipated Diablo 3 by 8,000 units. 42% of total sales came on PS3. Nice one Max.

Check out the full chart below, which even features surprise appearances by CoDBlops and Deep Silver's brilliant/rubbish Catherine.

Good for Max Payne 3. I think everybody was predicting, that it'd be Number 1, this week.

@1 I'm more impressed with how Catherine's been holding up. That game is aimed at such a niche market, yet it's in at number 10. Even more impressive when you consider it's anime style graphics - games like that tend not to do so well in the UK sadly.

I'm not sure what to make of MP3; it's linear, uses the same engine as RDR (by the look of it), is quite repetitive and really clichéd... but it's so much fun! Not tried the MP yet, TBH had enough of online shooters, but will have a gander once I've done my first playthrough.

I hate the fact that im hearing that MP3 is kinda same'ish and that it gets a bit boring after a while :/
I haven't got it yet, and i keep reading all the same dislikes about it.
Im a fan of Max Payne since back in the day and play both games so i welcome this with open arms as Max always felt diffrent to me :)

How ever, the multiplayer i will take with a dash of salt because i just felt that once again, a single player, story driven game got multiplayer tacked on for the sake of it just to boost sales, and because of that i said to myself that i would wait for the game to come down in price a bit.
I really belived that R* wouldn't do that to Max, but in this day and age, all the younger kids want a online mode, because its become the norm, taking away the story driven gameplay that Max Payne games should have.

It's great to see Max Payne 3 at number 1 and how it stuck to the key principles of the series. It thoroughly deserves to be there and I'm glad it's done as well as it has :D

@6 I wouldn't worry about what you've heard about MP3 being repetitive and boring because it really isn't true. There may be a bit of truth to the 'sameish' comments,but rest assured it stays feeling fresh and most importantly fun throughout. Also the multiplayer may be unnecessary but it is very decent and well worth a go.

I was going to post some trollbait about Fifa still topping the charts and associated idiocy but I can't be bothered today. :P

I'm really glad to see Catherine in the charts. This game deserves so much. It's one of my favorite games and I'm glad it gets attention from UK, though being released a while ago. Though, I understand that it isn't a mainstream game and not everybody might give it the attention it deserves.
