Metal Gear Solid Mobile

The new version of the classic game features original content that can only be found on the mobile platform. Metal Gear Solid Mobile includes never-before-seen dramatic 3D art displays and camera work. The detailed in-game graphics capture the atmosphere of the Metal Gear Solid series and create a depth that completely draws the player into the game, and pushes the capabilities of the mobile platform. Players face the extreme tension of solitary infiltration in this version of the tactical espionage action game developed in conjunction with Ideaworks3D and utilizing its Airplay 3.5 SDK. An in-game camouflage system utilizes colour samples from the scenery of the real world captured by the handset's camera. Moreover, additional controls are introduced that are made especially for mobile phone devices.
