Metal Gear Solid Mobile Sneaks onto Verizon Wireless

Snake?! Can you hear me now?! Snake?! Snaaaaaaaaake!!1!
Snake's latest adventure is now available, but it's not game you may be expecting.
Developed directly by Kojima Productions, Metal Gear Solid Mobile is an original game made specifically for cell phones. Despite the platform, the game maintains the same classic look and feel you expect from the hit franchise. Don't expect a quick cash-in game.
Metal Gear Solid Mobile utilizes Ideaworks3D and Airplay 3.5 SDK. As a result, Metal Gear Solid Mobile looks somewhere in between Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, a remarkable accomplishment by Kojima Productions.
The game also takes advantage of the camera on your cell phone. The pictures you take can be used as camouflage in the game.
It is always good to see a reputable development team working on mobile games. Metal Gear Solid Mobile is exclusive to Verizon Wireless (that won't stop the persistent Xbox 360 fanboys, however). The game can be bought for $4.99 a month or $10.99 for unlimited use.
