Remedy Entertainment's third-person shooter Max Payne is out now on the New Zealand App Store, and will be slow mo diving its way into other territories at midnight tonight.

Launched in 2001 to critical acclaim, the console version of Max Payne cast you as an undercover cop with a silly name and a murdered family.

And when Max's best friend and DEA colleague is killed, things go from bad to worse. Payne is the prime suspect for his friend's murder and his mob cover is blown, leaving Max to fight a war on two fronts.

Fortunately for us, that war is jolly good fun.

Max Payne on iPhone has you spraying slow motion bullets at all manner of nasty men, while Max's moody internal monologue propels the neo-noir plot forward.

Max Payne should hit your local App Store at around midnight tonight, and early indications suggest it'll carry a $2.99 price tag.
