Metal Gear Solid Touch
Konami has launched its long-awaited Metal Gear Solid Touch for the iPhone and iPod touch. Though following the same story as Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PlayStation 3, the game omits stealth action in favor of shooting. Players aim by dragging their finger, and shoot by tapping. By pinching gamers can zoom in on a target, while taking cover simply requires taking fingers off-screen.
Before each mission, players receive a list of objectives to complete in order to clear the stage, some of which may require players to defeat a particular enemy with special weapons. Finishing a level earns Drebin points which reflect a gamer's score, and can be spent at Drebin’s shop. MGS Touch is available from the App Store for $8.
