Max Payne Mobile

This version of Max Payne runs and plays excellently, but I do have one big concern. If you play this game with a controller, you aren't given the original Max Payne controller layout. If the original controls were patched in, this game would be perfect. There would be no way to crouch, but I'm sure that people would be satisfied. Strangely, the game also has issues picking up light presses of the d-pad and A button on my Steelseries Nimbus. For most games, I don't have any problems, but for some reason, this game has trouble picking up those simple inputs. This had led to a number of deaths simply because the game didn’t recognize that I pressed the button.

Can I just say this is one of the few mobile ports of a Rockstar game where the controls haven’t been butchered to hell? The controls here are prefect for mobile platforms. The dual-stick approach emulates the feel of the original control scheme, and the customizable HUD, with customizable button placement/sizes is a welcomed adjustment. The game runs very smoothly, but the only criticism I have is with the weapon select system. If you want to select different weapons within the category like the sawed-off shotgun or the classic dual-berettas, you have to go to the weapon select menu and tap the top weapon of that category, and keep entering and exiting the menu until you get the weapon you want. This is much more cumbersome compared to the on-the-fly weapon selection of the console version. If you can fix this so you can tap on the weapon you want and instead of the current system, it would be a much appreciated fix. Also, totally unrelated, ADD MAX PAYNE 2 & 3!!! THIS SERIES DOESN’T DESERVE TO GO UNFINISHED!!! It’s an otherwise masterpiece and I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out.

Honestly I thought the game looked stupid and I was bored so I thought hey why not just give this game a try since it’s made by rockstar games so I bought it and played it and actually fell in love with the game and enjoyed it so much that I stayed up late tel 6:00 in the morning so I was late to school but it was worth it and the game became so addictive that I played it in class and played it while walking back home, that’s how good the game is and I consider adding L.A. Noire onto mobile or Grand Theft Auto IV but keep up the work and full screen the other GTA games on the App Store please rockstar.

This game was amazing the shooting felt really good, the story was amazing, the difficulty was fair, but the problem is with the saves. Personally I do not think there is enough saves and if you run out you can’t play the game. and I have deleted and got the app back and my saves that I want gone are still there and when I start a new game the saves are always low. It ruined the game for me and it saddened me to not have saves or play the game please fix this problem.

Character appearances could change instead of looking the same. Although the idea that Max is gunning and grinning is kinda amusing. There were a couple times I had to look up a walkthrough to get past a single part but it was pretty easy throughout the rest of the game. I hated the fact that after I get completely stocked up on guns, ammo, and painkillers, I end up losing them when he gets drugged and spoiler spoiler spoiler... But hey you get better guns later.
