Same problem. It would be nice if left side movement toggled to aim when you are in bullet time.

The best thing about this game? $2.99. Cheaper than coffee.

The only gameloft game who impressed me is Modern Combat 3, the others have a graphic that is inferior to dead space and mass effect infiltrator!

I love the controls just takes a littlewhile to get used to them

I'm using the tap to shoot option without any aim assists and it works great!

Agreed. I wasn't talking about those games. In any event, the point was that folks shouldn't expect cutting edge graphics with Max Payne.

These grahpics upped from the ps2 version?

I have yet to try that. Frankly, I really did not like the default button arrangement. Luckily they are fully customizable.

In general I'm really happy with this port. My only complaints so far are:

1) lack of character shadows. I would have appreciated at least a blob shadow to make Max feel more "in" the environment.

2) lack of shell casings. Not a big deal, but the sound of shotgun shells hitting the floor in the original is kind of iconic

3) a slight jitteriness to the movement. Again, not a big deal, but the game is simply not as smooth as on the PC

4) locked difficulty settings: that was there in the original game, but I've been playing the game in hardcore difficulty for years and I'm not really digging all the one-shot kills. I'm basically speed running through the first time and looking forward to playing it "for real" the second time.

Make no mistake: this is truly Max Payne, and even just navigating through the maps is a pleasure. Wiping the mug off the Finito brothers was just as satisfying as I remembered it .

I must say that the game is absolutely gorgeous on iPhone 4 and I would take these very nitty-gritty "it's retina, but is it really?" graphics over Gameloft's squeaky-clean crap any day of the week.

I still have my Max Payne mouse pad that came with the PC game. One of the greatest games ever.
