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.
Another Take
Metal Gear Solid Touch really isn't too shabby, but it simply fails to be Metal Gear. It's essentially a light gun game, and it's a simple one at that. The game looks great, using some slick sprites in game, with each level couched between some sharp screenshots from Metal Gear Solid 4 to helping to explain the story. The controls are very intuitive and smartly designed. You’ll never be faced with an issue of wrestling with controls. The only issue is that this game is shockingly shallow. Simply move a cursor over an enemy and shoot. That's it. I was expecting something more along the lines of Solid Snake’s last mobile entry, but this is very basic.
