"There it was, the soundtrack to my life".
Rockstar taking the reigns from Remedy and delving back into Max's chequered past was either going to be a recipe for success or disaster, and although the game actually sold poorly despite being incredibly solid and enjoyable, they did doff their caps to the original developer halfway through the campaign. It's actually handled remarkably well, as there are a number of pianos you can interact with across the story, reminiscent of doing the same in the first game. Come the point at the close of 3 where Max has been through hell, it's then he finally nails the original theme and plays it back to himself, marking a great moment where you too, can catch your breath amongst the carnage.
