Classic PC game Max Payne coming to iOS on April 12th as Max Payne Mobile

The classic PC game Max Payne is set to arrive on the iOS platform next week, April 12th to be exact. Rockstar has announced that it will have the original version of Max Payne ready for iOS next week and it will be called Max Payne Mobile.

Max Payne is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne. Almost all the gameplay involves bullet time-based gun-fights and levels are generally straightforward, occasionally incorporating platforming and puzzle-solving elements. The game's storyline is advanced by the player following Max's internal monologue as the character determines what his next steps should be. Several of the game's levels involve surrealistic nightmares and drug-related hallucinations of Payne.

Rockstar has an excellent reputation for releasing superb iOS ports of games. Last year it released the highly anticipated port of GTA III. The release certainly did not disappoint either in game play or with value for money. We expect the same for Max Payne and those of us who played the original game on PC or later on Xbox, PS2 and Mac can look forward to another great title coming to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch; roll on April 12th!

  • have to disagree with your asemsssent of the antenna issues. with three in our family we never a had an issue and neither did millions and millions of other people. Some trying over and over managed to make it happen I am telling the truth when I say I could never get it to happen no matter how hard I tried. Regardless the fact is that Apple didn't change the GSM antenna yet somehow this issues became a non-issue and software, though powerful, can't overcome the physics people tried to attach to the problem. To me, as Apple said, it wasn't a problem and as AT&T said then users of the iPhone 4 have fewer dropped calls than users of the iPhone it replaced. I think we can all move on now
