At the dizzying height of Matrix-mania, his bullet-dodging combat was quite possibly the coolest thing ever committed to a compact disc. In 11 years, Payne hasn't aged all that gracefully. If you sneak up on thugs before you whack them you can eavesdrop on their comedic banter. One enemy gets caught with his pants down, and so you chase him through the level with his trousers around his ankles. It's also got plenty of humour peppered throughout. We get a comically over-written noir story with hints of Eisner and Ellroy, told in graphic novel vignettes and laced with enough similes and metaphors to fill a rap anthology. Thankfully, there's a little more to Max Payne Mobile than just an endless series of slowed-down showdowns. In fact, the only times I've conked out (so far) have been at the hands of a nuisance subway train and an accidental belly flop off a fourth-story balcony. On this mode, enemies are such pushovers, you get so many painkillers, and there's so much ammo that it's nearly impossible to die. The default option offers up the world's most generous auto-aim and, as on the PC version, you're locked to the cake-walk 'Fugitive' difficulty on your first play-through. To compensate, the game is pitifully easy. The iOS controls are adequate - especially with a little tweaking in the options - but no touchscreen buttons could quite give the fidelity needed to pull off Payne's best tricks. Moments of actual showboating are sadly few and far between.

Firefights often result in an awkward fumble of thumbs, ending up with poor-old Max in a crumpled heap on the floor and half of his targets still breathing. For our ex-cop antihero, a gunfight meant diving headfirst through a doorway, pirouetting in midair, and busting three slack-jawed goons without taking a single hit.
