Metal Gear Solid Touch

Apparently our hopes, dreams, and predictions were off. The new Metal Gear Solid game Konami teased a few weeks ago is not for any console it is coming to iPhones and the iPod Touch. Disappointing stuff.

With direct control through the touch panel, it's simple for anyone to move their alignment or switch to zoom mode.

Each stage's location and characters are based on the story of MGS4. The initial download will contain 8 stages, with additional stages to be added later.

There are many ways to enjoy the game as points earned by clearing stages unlocks images and wallpapers from the METAL GEAR series.
