-lack of noir atmosphere
-lack of graphic novel-style storytelling
-lack of Max's poetic narration (it's there, but far less eloquent)
-lack of at least one darkly surreal dream sequence

^Those are some pretty big elements the Max Payne series is known for. Their omission stands out like a sore thumb. MP3 was clearly trying to be more like a blockbuster action flick (ala Die Hard).
IMO, the game going in a different direction was better for it.

it felt close enough to the originals, but more modernized, so it felt like it had its own identity.

if Rockstar had just copied the other games, it likely would have felt like some poor imitation.
