Our Expert Score

92/100

Max Payne Mobile is a stunningly faithful port of a PC gaming legend. Seeing this run on a smartphone with such fidelity is still a bit of a shock. The 'Bullet Time' mechanic, which was revolutionary back in 2001, feels perfectly at home on mobile. Tapping that icon and watching the world slow down as you dive through a doorway is just as satisfying now as it was then.

The controls have been handled with care. Virtual joysticks are rarely perfect, but the customization options here—allowing you to move and resize every button—make it very playable. The noir atmosphere, the gritty comic-book cutscenes, and James McCaffrey’s iconic voice acting are all intact. It’s a dark, violent, and brilliantly written masterpiece that every action fan needs to experience.
