If you were hoping to sample the adventures of a bald, bearded Max Payne without obtaining a full copy of Max Payne 3, you are out of luck. There are "no plans for a demo of Max Payne 3" according to Rockstar's official Twitter account. Joystiq is attempting to recreate the experience with its own demo of Max Payne 3, but we're having a little trouble figuring out how to digitally distribute a complex pulley system. We're pretty sure a physical replication feature is headed to Steam, but Valve isn't answering our phone calls.

Max Payne 3 arrives on PC, Xbox and PS3 next month.
