Max Payne 3: Tears Soundtrack Single by Health now Available On iTunes [VIDEO]

Tears, an original song by Max Payne 3 soundtrack composers Health, is now available as a single on Apple iTunes.

The song was first heard in the game's official TV spot (see video below), leading fans to ask for the full version of the song to be released.

Max Payne 3 apparently features distinctive musical arrangements that are unique to each level of the game.

A spokesman for Rockstar Games said Health's soundtrack perfectly frames the game's epic action sequences and its dark and gritty story.

"Health's unique blend of rock, powerful drums and electronic soundscapes lends itself perfectly to the score for the game," the spokesman added.

"Taking influences from Brazil, Max's native New York and the themes of the original games, Health have put together a fantastic soundtrack that perfectly embodies the tone and the atmosphere of Max Payne 3."

The single is available as a $0.99 download on iTunes now and can also be heard in full on the Rockstar website.

Max Payne 3 launches on 18 May, 2012 in the UK on Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and PC.
