Metal Gear?!

What do you get when you mix Metal Gear Solid 2 game play with Playstaion One graphics? You'll get Metal Gear Solid Mobile. I just completed this cellular phone adventure today. I downloaded this game for my LG Chocolate for about $4 on the Get It Now feature.

Metal Gear Solid Mobile stays true to the Metal Gear Solid experience. Quite a few tools of the trade (including Snakes now famous cardboard box) make their appearance int this inhalation plus some new ones. Stealth camouflage is in this game. It helps you to sneak past guards and to fool security cameras.

The first thing the player will notice are the visuals. Unlike other titles ported to the mobile phone this title doesn't feel like a total cop-out. Everything is rendered in 3d. It's quite impressive for a mobile phone game. The controls are a bit touchy. Shooting in third person can be a bit difficult at times. The game itself is quite short and only has one boss battle. Still, for everything thats crammed into this game its well worth it.

As many fans know, the saga which is Metal Gear is a very complex one. Metal Gear Solid Mobile is by at no means the exception. The story is complex but if you played through Metal Gear Solid 2 it makes more sense. This title takes place after the events of Shadow Moses from original Metal Gear Solid but before the Tanker Incident of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Solid Snake is once again on another stealth mission to stop the walking tank Metal Gear.

In short, if you're already a fan of the series and you don't like cop-out ports Metal Gear Solid Mobile is the game for you.
