“Max Payne was the original cinematic action-shooter,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “We’re really proud to bring its intense gunplay and dark story to mobile devices. Remedy did an amazing job with this game and it still feels fresh today.”

The full classic Max Payne experience, Max Payne Mobile has been optimized for iOS devices, featuring HD graphics, high-resolution textures, Social Club connectivity and user-customizable controls.

Max Payne Mobile is available for $2.99 from the App Store on iPad, iPhone or iPod touch or at the iTunes App Store. Supported devices on iOS include the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch 4, iPad 1, iPad 2 and the new iPad.

Originally released in 2001, Max Payne is a relentless story-driven game about a man on the edge, fighting for justice while uncovering plot-twists and murderous thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century’s worst blizzard. Its sequel, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne was released to further critical acclaim in 2003.
