It might seem like a strange decision to add multiplayer to Max Payne 3, but according to Rockstar it's actually something that was even on the drawing board for the first two games.

The obvious reason it was never fully realised though, was how to translate Max's signature single-player bullet-time moves into a mode with multiple human players. Rockstar feels they've nailed the problems down though, and with a basic line-of-sight rule that applies to bullet-time, it definitely seems that way. We actually had a chance to try it out first-hand though, and can happily report it definitely does work. We also got knee-deep into a lot of what else is on offer in the game's multiplayer though, and put together a preview for you.
