We finally got the chance to get our first hands-on look at Rockstar's long-awaited Max Payne 3, and the game is looking pretty amazing from what we saw. Jake "Gunslinger" Gaskill previewed the game, and here's a snippet from his write-up:

"But before you even start shooting, you can’t help but be somewhat mesmerized with Max’s movements. He twists, pivots, and redistributes his weight as you aim and change his direction, and each step feels appropriately hefty. In talking with the Rockstar reps on hand, it became clear that while the animations that govern everything from how Max moves to how his body reacts to the environment when, say, he’s soaring through the air with Uzi and pistol blazing are certainly cutting edge, it’s the transitions between these animations where the real magic lies."
