10 Most Underrated Video Game Levels Of The Decade

10. Max Payne 3 - Club Moderno

The third instalment in the Max Payne series is a criminally underrated game in its own right, and one of its most overlooked sequences comes in a very early chapter. Max has to counteract his drunken haze to protect the family he's been guarding, as a pretty ordinary night at Club Moderno goes sour before the second round.

The sequence starts with Max pushing a balaclava toting thug through a glass panel as time slows and you attempt to pepper the rest of the Comando Sombra in bullet-time, before hitting the floor.

If the gameplay wasn't exciting enough, the thumping Brazilian house music helps the adrenaline rush as you scramble to defuse the situation.

Max's excellent dry narration is heard throughout, chiming in with prescient quips about the "robotic" naivety of Club Moderno's rich patrons as you attempt to find where the intruders have taken the Branco sisters. It's an excellent level where Max Payne 3 finds its feet, and truly kicks off the story with a bang.
