Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Major Mayhem 2 at 4.7 against Missile Command's 3.9. Major Mayhem 2 also leads on ratings volume (8.9K vs 206).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Major Mayhem 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Missile Command sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Major Mayhem 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Major Mayhem 2 has 8.9K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Major Mayhem 2's written reviews are positive against 70% of Missile Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Major Mayhem 2 ships an update monthly, Missile Command fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
