There are 2 problems which is preventing me from giving a 5 star rating: 1. I can't connect to the Rockstar Social Club which is preventing me from accessing the cheats. I tried every method possible, but it's not working. 2. The Hard-boiled mode is way too difficult compared to the Fugitive mode. I know the actual difficulty of the game and the reason that you have to keep that to make it more challenging. But it is just too much for the mobile version. It actually matches the difficulty level of PC. Need fix on this ASAP.

Game is classic and one of the best ever, I will talk only about port. Random sound glitches from minor to heavy. Controls are frustrating: movement is very hard to maintain straight, fire and BT buttons should be available on both hands, stucking fire button quickly leaves you with empty clips, gameplay imply heave usage of quicksave so it should be available on HUD. Not to mention, I could finally play it only recently, as for years it was crushing on different devices. There is room for imprv

Game plays smooth enough. But the touch screen controls are dumb asf. Absolutely loved this game on the PS2 and PC but coming from mobile games which allow me to use 4 finger claw and actually move/aim and shoot all at the same time. This seems so basic and boring. Is it just designed for thumb only players who can only press two on screen buttons at any given time? Needs to be more customisable with the on screen buttons size and positioning. Game needs some improvement for sure. 3/5 for now.

Nice port overall. But the limitation of the mobile platform (particularly the controls) kinda diminished the fun factor of the game. It can either be ridiculously easy (with assist) or clumsily hard (manual), both modes didn't capture the exciting fast paced, reaction-precision shooting of the PC game. This version however looks way so much better and I think the content are all intact. Also props for the effort to optimize performance, quality, and power usage. 5/5 Stars.

Great game, story is amazing, and I like a lot the Norse Mythology! The Mobile version has some problems, like the fact you can't select quickly a weapon, but the biggest problem is the laser bombs elevator part (Part III, chapter 7, nothing to lose), in which the mobile version doesn't allow you to turn up like the PC does, it's really hard, but it is possible to solve.

I bought it with the fear that it would be a mediocre experience, but I'm glad I was wrong. The touchscreen responds well (except when you die, when reloading sometimes the joystick movement does not respond quickly), the graphics are excellent, I have not witnessed bugs (except once minimal) and the experience remains fascinating thanks to Sam Lake. Its only problem is in the highest difficulty, a single shot leaves you on the canvas or kills you, that did not happen in the other versions.

Games like this are impossible to find now. A dark gritty story, intense and hot action. As well as betrayal and unreal plot twists. All this is what makes this game an amazing all time classic. A fun time killer too. The shootdodge move is amazing cause I've seen stuff like that in movies where people jump sideways while shooting and dodging and I find that such a cool mechanic. But everything fell into place so good and that's why I give this game a 5/5

Man this game has the exact nostalgic feeling I was hoping for. The touch controls are fine after a level or two of getting used to it. Anyone who is complaining about them either are not good at touch games or are too used to consoles lol. I beat it on all the modes it offers, so great. Did have several glitches happen that would not allow me to continue but thanks to lots of saving I loaded up a previous save and went right past the problem areas. GJ. Too bad about the S.C. -motoz2 force

It took a whole lot of getting used to without a mouse and keyboard! That aside, this is the same game we all loved, just a much steeper learning curve. I'm currently attempting hard boiled, and without auto aim it's more difficult than anything I've tried. It's also just as exciting as my first play through and alot more convenient

I'm on the second difficulty and it seems nearly impossible, and I'm using a controller. Auto aim aims at their feet so I don't see how that's helpful and the sensitivity is super high. I put them all the way down and still can't aim at them easily because I'm constantly over orienting because it's so sensitive. I don't mind a challenge but this I'd annoying and I'm only at the control room. Theres a bug when you load a save it says you have a weapon out but you don't so I couldn't shoot.

It's a nostalgia game , and it runs much better on Android than it does on Win 10. The touchscreen control is .... So so. I don't hated but I don't love it, it's just playable. It has a gamepad option so would recommend using that , just need to remember to have the gamepad paired before you open the game. On a side note, if the devs decide to ever port Max Payne 2 , please try to add gyro support for aiming.

Great game but issues with certain missions.. mostly doors not blowing open for example, chapter 3 part 3, still stuck on this. Have had this same problem in a earlier mission but once I reloaded my last save point it worked, but not this time. Other than that, I would rate 5/5. Not sure if theres a way to save to a cloud as well, but would nice if available.

I love this game. Ive played it for 5 hours straight and beat it. Ive only gotten stuck about 3 times but i easily searched it up on youtube. Yeah, the controls are kinda wonky but you will get used to it and the price is extremely cheap. The graphics are reasonable. This is a ps2 game so the graphics are clearly gonna stay the same. Anyways, i loved it :)

Cool port. Never played the original. The story is good and the cut scenes are artistic. Shooters like this make for poor ports. It's so hard to control your character that you have to save your progress constantly everytime you do something right if you aren't playing on the easiest difficulty. Be prepared to constantly play the same encounters again and again until you get it right.

"IT'S PAYNE! WHACK 'EM!" - Punchinello Mobster (2001) Max Payne is perhaps one of my favorite games of all time. I play nearly every year around Christmastime, and I have never once gotten bored. This port for Android phones is literal perfection. While I could do without the distracting Social Club nonsense, the experience as a whole is PC perfect. The controls take some getting used to, but they're easy to get used to or tweak. "A bit closer to heaven." - Max Payne (2001)

This game is great! The controls are easy, especially after customization. I have my "shoot" button right above the left joystick. Has enough control customization to make gameplay very fun on mobile. Graphics and sound are all top-notch. Runs like water on my XA1 Ultra. It's definitely the BEST third-person shooter on Google Play. It's worth the 2.99

My review after 6 years from a Galaxy S4. Rating stays the same. Audio bugs are still there just not as bad with S21 Ultra. Still a slight delay on gun sounds. Some sounds play that shouldn't be there and some sounds aren't there at all. Controls are fine to me. You have to customize to get your correct feel. Also to everyone, this is the PC port, not console port. All console versions they lock off an area after you enter. You can go back through the whole map in this version.

Best way to play this classic for the story and level design.The shooting however is subpar. I accidentally chose the easy difficulty and there wasn't any way to change it once I started. With easy and auto aim on, the combat is a cakewalk. I ended up turning off auto aim, the ai and difficulty shooting made it a moderate challenge.The shooting would be much better with gyro aiming, too bad that won't happen. If you want the best experience possible, it might be a good idea to connect controller

By far the best way to play Max Payne on modern devices. Unlike the original PC version, this works straight out of the box. Of course, the controls for the game aren't exactly optimized for touch screens since it was clearly designed with a mouse & keyboard in mind. It's a bit rough to play due to that, but luckily you can adjust auto-aim. Great port of a great classic.

Looks sharper than the console versions but controls worse. There's no crouch option. It's missing slowed down sound & graphical effects. Looks sharper & loads faster, but it's been toned down which makes no sense. If the PS2 could handle it, any modern device can. No shell casings, dropped magazines or character shadows. Using bullet time just isn't fun here. It's just much easier to run n gun. At least you can skip the garbage dream levels now. Where is MP2? This came out 12 years ago
