Max Payne 3 Soundtrack Should Be A Model For The Future Health

The soundtrack to rock stars Max Payne 3 is one of my favorite albums of year. Composed and performed by the New York art scene rock band Health, its synthesizers and highly processed drums are in contrast to the stereotypical music we hear in most big-budget action games.

I hear it regularly, because the game is released, and it is rewarding to hear all the time. It was certainly  risk for Rock star to the reins to large part of the audio from triple-A game to some guys who give to look like this. Frankly, health is band that has sold albums in the hundreds and thousands, not millions. It is not the kind of partnership that is selling point for most players, the Max Payne 3 will buy it. However, both the soundtrack alone, and during the game, it is clear that the score is essential to the game's artistic vision.

Max Payne 3 not reinvents the series as much as to bring new level of polish and cinematic vibe to the proceedings. I immediately fell in love with the colorful, dazzling Brazilian setting. However, it is the music that makes it really special - adding dreamy, unsettling atmosphere to both the cut scenes and action sequences.
