Max Payne 3 Achievements and Trophies Unleashed

By Michael Shelton / April 10, 2012

Max Payne 3 is going to blow you away. Pun intended. Rockstar released the entire achievement/trophy list for the game earlier today, and it should be more than enough to get your hype level to near catastrophic states. Once you get your hands on Max Payne 3 in all of its shrink wrapped glory, you will be able to challenge yourself to over 40 unique challenges and accomplishments. These will span across the single player and multiplayer modes. While the list that Rockstar has made available excludes a few secret achievements, it only makes you ponder the creativity behind them. With the "License to Kill" achievement, players will be tasked with searching for hidden golden guns throughout the campaign. If the golden guns are one-hit kills, my head might actually explode. Other achievements such as, "It's Fear That Gives Men Wings", require players to refine their skills as Max. Earn your wings by gracefully diving through the air and killing 10 enemies in a row while in Bullet Time. If you never miss a shot providing overwatch for Passos, in the Stadium level, you will earn "The One Eyed Man Is King" achievement.

To claim That Old Familiar Feeling" again, you will need to ensure that you clear out every last one of the laser-target-wielding thugs in the apartment complex. There are certainly a variety of achievements/trophies to earn in Max Payne 3, and while some may feel like your standard inclusions, it's nice to see some thought being put into the names and actual tasks. Personally, I hate just seeing kill 50 enemies and unlock the "Killer" achievement. Achievements should be more than just a task for developers, it makes me feel like they almost get lazy when it can add even better layer to your game. Do you like what you're seeing so far? Let us know, and don't be afraid to share your own ideas and be sure to check out the full list at the official Rockstar post.
