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.

Presentation - 7.8
Graphics - 7.8
Sound - 8.0
Gameplay - 6.0

Shame it wasn't developed by Kojima Productions.

lepolohuevo5553d ago (Edited 5553d 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!

Bonsai12145553d ago

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

Mikerra175553d 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_Vendetta5552d 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 :(

Marceles5552d 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

Montrealien5552d ago (Edited 5552d 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?

Montrealien5552d ago

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

I love video games5553d 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 Raiser5553d ago

Its not sony related... but point taken.

Snake Raiser5553d 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.

if they make their mobile games playable on ps5 and their maybe new handheld, that would be huge. cause i aint playing any free games on my phone, cause mobile games suck. haha.

Retro19867d ago

I like mobile games, but the problem for me is that «free games» usually has alot of p2w or other microtransaction connected to them. LoL, Hearthstone, civ, fm etc is great on iPad 😊 Would love to see rise of kingdoms etc Get rid of p2w formula.

Guitardr857d ago

Does anyone remember PS MInis from the PS3 era? I feel like most of those were mobile games that were ported...No reason they couldn't do that again I suppose. :)

gold_drake7d ago

yeeeess i had some of them haha

P_Bomb7d ago

Ha, I remember those! They didn’t have trophies so I’ve lost track of most of them, but I remember Hysteria Project and Angry Birds.

piher7d ago

I feel like people don't understand what mobile gaming is anymore.

It's not the button phone cheap Tetris clones or movie licensed stuff anymore.

Mobile gaming is huge games like Genshin Impact Honkai: Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, Amazon and Bandai/Namco's Blue Protocol games with budgets that rival and even exceed AAA, but even things like CoD and other big western games have mobile versions.

All the games listed also have PC and console versions.

Sony already owns several big mobile games most famously Fate/Grand Order.

gold_drake7d ago

i feel like you are overblowing what other ppl have said ha.

most mobiles are still very much your gatcha style of gaming.

the games u listed, absolutely, but that wasnt even my comment. mobile games, if they are not on anything else, sucks. so to have them on a handheld with buttons or on a console to, would be a win for me

Philaroni7d ago

I'm going to say this and ether A: I'm crazy or B: I'm crazy, but do any of you remember when Sony years back had the Xperia Play. Touched one never got it myself. If Sony is looking for a handheld (Look at Apple with the games it can run on there own devices) I wonder if maybe, just maybe they try to make a play for the Phone space again. Just my 2 cents, well with inflations I guess my 2 dimes.

Kurisu7d ago

Make an Xperia Play 2 that actually has functionality with the PS5 and I might bite! Loved the Xperia Play, showing off Crash Bandicoot on it was great but that's the only game I had for it.
