### 4/5 — Great gameplay but…

*2026-06-12, version 2.0*

The game plays fine except the sound effects are not working on MAC OS.  This needs updating

### 4/5 — 9mm sur passe

*2026-05-22*

Je trouve que le jeu est bien m’ai 9mm de Gameloft le surpasse

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-02-01, version 2.0*

I played quantum break it’s great game

### 4/5 — Best game I’ve ever played

*2026-01-17*

(SOME SPOILERS)
I never really played a rockstar game other than RDR 1, and I never felt about buying a rockstar game, so when I saw this game FOR FREE on mobile, I thought I was hallucinating. This game is soo fun, i already played it 3 or 4 times already, and it’s honestly just so good. The controls are a bit fiddly, but once you got a hang of it, it will feel so badass. Story wise, it’s great, it’s gritty, poetic, and very dark, but still easy to enjoy. The game uses these comic style story telling which is amazing. The only problem I have with the game is that it’s too short, and yes, it’s just a copy of a game that already made, but I just feel like I could play more, and also, i don’t like the way how the story diverges from him fighting mobsters and street gangs, to fighting a CEO(lol), it just feels so… unnatural, and I just enjoyed shooting mobsters than security guards in suits with automatic rifles. Other than that, peak game.

### 4/5 — We need max payne 2

Max Payne, the one and only one of it’s kind !  please bring Max Payne 2 and Max Payne 3 !

### 2/5 — Awesome Game just not updated

*2025-11-03, version 2.0*

The game is amazing only issue is the lack of support from Rockstar. Please update this gem to support updated resolution and the updated os’s

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-08-17, version 2.0*

I loved this game, the storyline, the features, all of it! It never crashed, the missions were challenging and fun to play through, I recommend this game to anyone who’s looking for the right kind of thrill and challenge! 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Is Sequel Coming?

*2025-07-21, version 2.0*

Great game. Super short which makes me want more and curious why the sequel isn’t available on mobile yet.

### 5/5 — 🤍

*2025-07-09, version 2.0*

It will absolutely blow the mind of those who never played Max Payne before, this is one of the best game ever. I love it!!!!

### 5/5 — Un incontournable

*2025-04-11*

Très bonne adaptation sur IPad. Un classique du genre, une ambiance prenante. Si vous comprenez l’anglais la version originale est bien mieux doublée mais malheureusement il n’y a pas de sous-titres. Une manette est par contre indispensable pour profiter pleinement.

### 2/5 — Boo

*2025-04-11, version 2.0*

Weak sauce. Terrible saves. Fall off roof start all over.

### 1/5 — Worst ever

*2026-05-09, version 2.0*

Worst game ever made graphics are horrible. Everything about the game is 100% horrible when you die. It starts you over at the very beginning keeps skipping the story cut scenes. So many glitches bugs, not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Worse graphics

*2026-02-28, version 2.0*

Don’t waste your money , got a worse graphics. Was good for early 2000 nothing been improved.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-02-02, version 2.0*

The gameplay is ridiculous

### 1/5 — P3 C7 Elevator glitch

*2026-01-05, version 2.0*

The third elevator in this chapter won't open. Game is non-completable at the literal most exciting part of the game. Beyond frustrating.

### 5/5 — Max Payne

*2026-07-15, version 2.0*

Man wish you guys bring max Payne 3 back with online man the people would go crazy on any platform

### 5/5 — A great port

*2026-07-04, version 2.0*

This is a really decent port of Max Payne. The textures are vivid, The sounds are so clear and the lighting is just about right. Maybe turn the game brightness down to try and get that ps2 vibe.

### 5/5 — Absolute Cinema

*2026-06-10, version 2.0*

Wow

### 5/5 — 12/10

*2026-04-15, version 2.0*

Одна из самых лучших игр в моей жизни в контексте механик и нарратива.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-07, version 2.0*

This is a terrific game. I played it when it first came to the iPad , and I’m delighted to see it’s still available on the App Store. So many games don’t get updated, and then one of Apple’s OS updates kills it. Kudos to the dev for keeping it alive.

### 5/5 — Max Payne!

*2026-02-02, version 2.0*

I would love to see Max Payne 3 come to mobile. The best storyline out of all the Max Payne games is the third one in my opinion. All of them are OG.

### 5/5 — This is a shooting game

*2026-01-31, version 2.0*

Good game I like it

### 5/5 — MAX PAYNE 2 WHEN???

*2025-12-27, version 2.0*

Please also port Max Payne 2. I genuinely believe people gonna buy it. There so many people like me who want to play and archive old MASTERPIECES like this on their phone. God knows how many time I played Max Payne Mobile when the weather was cloudy

### 5/5 — This is the best game ever

*2025-12-07, version 2.0*

Like bro come on who love this game and add max payne 2 on mobile it would be sick for my rockstar collection

### 5/5 — Spielspaß mit iPhone 16

*2025-12-07*

Schön, dass man solch alte Spiele heutzutage auf dem Handy spielen kann. Ich spiele das Spiel auf meinem iPhone. Ich wünsche mir, dass auch die anderen Teile verfügbar sind.
