I still haven't played this game; not sure when I will, but I'll get around to it at some point. I was just wondering how people thought it sounded. Was it anything special or something not really noteworthy?

It's right here: http://www.youtube.com/show?p=rYh_dWaa2UU&tracker=show_av

I thought it was good.

I still haven't played it but listened to couple few on youtube. While not as iconic as Max Payne 1&2, it's still pretty damn awesome.

And I admit I really like Health's version of the Max Payne theme.

so good. so good. the music that plays in the Favela is wonderful, and it's even better that all that stuff plays during the multiplayer, and how the music changes depending on the game timer.

It was pretty damn good.

No, I understand that you can hear it elsewhere, but I wanted to get your opinion since you actually played the game. The soundtrack doesn't quite yet have the effect it could if you didn't play the game.

I thought it was amazing. Snagged the soundtrack.

Thought it was one of the best parts of the game.

Epic

I bought TEARS without even playing the game yet. Sounds great.

It is pretty good. I especially like the tracks with the sort of deep haunting synth that could be straight out of a John Carpenter flick.

@Chaser324: the crying baby in the background toward the end was a nice, haunting touch.

Nothing short of amazing imho. I was expecting a disaster due to how the style seemed irrelevant to MP universe, but it blends in so well, and enhances the mood in such timely fashion (oh god that airport terminal scene) I happily eat my own prejudiced words.

@rolanthas: Totally agree with you. The terminal scene was amazing. So atmospheric and the Track Tears by Health had me on the edge of my couch. My heart was pounding, palms were sweaty. Max Payne 3 particularly that aforementioned level transported me into a space very few games have been able to do. Sound in games I think often is unappreciated, but Rockstar continues to set the bar high. Bravo!

i just wanted to say the OST is pretty awesome (listening to it now) but the in game soundtrack is amazing. i love how they blend certain music in at key moments. examples being the airport and when you first enter the favelas in brazil. even the club music has a certain authentic feel to it and makes you kind of feel like your really there.

Its fucking HEALTH man, of course it was good.

Yeah, I've heard nothing but raves about how that whole scene plays out to that song. Then again, that song is basically fucking magic.

I honestly didn't think it was that noticeable or prominent while playing through the game. I did find myself enjoying the parts I did notice, however. The theme song is great, and as mentioned, the song playing while you run through the airport terminal at the end was really something else. It added a lot to that sequence to make it feel appropriately epic.

Just beat it today finally. The airport is fucking astounding, when tears comes on, it puts you in a groove that is basically unmatched in any other games..

As frustrating as the gunplay can be, with how fragile Max is, the atmosphere and sense of place is friggin amazing!!

What's the track that kicks in when

Because that was so awesome.

The sound track is goddamn incredible.

Just as good as I remember it!

Damn good I thought, it's nice that finally we can hear Rockstar's talent for know what music will fit what scene can for a linear game. During the airport sequence and the football stadium especially

Pretty fucking amazing. Easily one of the best this year.

that track is called Tears^

@1p: there ya go

It's pretty awesome, really unique sound.

The soundtrack is amazing!

I've been listening to it the last few days - I think the synthy / downtempo tracks hold up well outside of the game.

My favorites are Shells, Torture, and of course Panama. Docks also reminded me a lot of Red Dead's score. Most of the tracks are drum heavy and designed to build tension during a shootout.

loved the soundtrack. apart from the part where tears came on, this was my favorite

this was an excellent piece for the Panama flashback. The visuals and this song in particular made it feel like something lifted out of Scarface.

Is there any place where they sell the soundtrack in FLAC?
