IGN: Metal Gear Solid Touch Review

Metal Gear Solid Touch will be a real disappointment for both hardcore and casual fans. Despite the appearance of characters, settings, and weapons from the Metal Gear universe, this is not a Metal Gear game. It's a simple shooting gallery. But at least it's a good-looking simple shooting gallery with awesome music. Perhaps the later stages might get a little more Metal Gear-y, but right now, it's hard to recommend this lackluster shooter.

Shame it wasn't developed by Kojima Productions.

lepolohuevo6263d ago (Edited 6263d ago )

huh, it was. I got the game and it clearly says KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS when you launch the app along with the konami logo.

I have to disagree with this review though, as a hardcore metal gear fan, i thought i would be disappointed with a mobile game, but I was very impressed and exceeded my expectations, it is one of the best games you can get on iPhone/Touch! I would gladly give it an 8.5/10

this tempts me into buying an iphone.

The Metal Gear Solid franchise ended with a bang!

Bonsai12146263d ago

the only person involved from kojima productions was the website designer. otherwise, it was some other konami team.

Mikerra176263d ago

I mean this thing had to of been rushed and come on its on the apple thing

How did I get 9 disagrees for telling the truth?

Konami developed MGS Touch. http://wireless.ign.com/art...

Not Kojima Productions. http://games.ign.com/object...

Man some of you people need special ed.

Dark_Vendetta6262d ago

played it today and I have to agree. The gameplay is simply boring. You are always behind a wall and only have to shoot the coming enemies. I had high hopes for it :(

Marceles6262d ago

Yeah I bought it after reading this to see what it was all about and yeah...it's pretty much just a Metal Gear shooting gallery game. Sniping in the later levels makes it a tad bit more fun just because you're pinching your fingers together and away and it's something different but eh...today is probably the last time I'll play it unless i'm absolutely dying of boredom

Montrealien6262d ago (Edited 6262d ago )

Got it this morning, played it for about 30 minutes on the metro and I have to say, It is a decent 8$ Iphone game. If has many unlockables and suits the Iphone just fine. Anyone who expected anything else from an 8$ Iphone game is a little to picky.

As for the Kojima studios thing, Konami whoring the name out on this game just goes to show that Kojima is just a subsidiary of Konami. Or in other words, Konami own Kojima, MGS, and all his other works. Till he leaves and starts his own studio anyways.

I didn't see a failure of this coming... How could people not have know that it was going to suck?

Montrealien6262d ago

Its an 8$ Iphone app, how can people not know it would be decent. And it is just that, decent.

I love video games6263d ago

i dont know why people are jagged about the low score, its a phone game, took a couple months to make, everything sony related doesnt have to be great, get over it and go eat a muffin or something

Snake Raiser6263d ago

Its not sony related... but point taken.

Snake Raiser6263d ago

So IGN of all reviewers didn't finish an IPHONE game before reviewing it? An IPHONE game? How long is it 3 hours? They did the same thing with the Red Baron game. I like gamespot, but I normally agree with IGN as well. New reviewer maybe.

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake33d ago

lol wut.

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno33d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

SethNW33d ago

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
