Konami to Bring ‘Silent Scope’ Arcade Game to iPhone

silent_scope_posterKonami announced today that they will be bringing Silent Scope to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Based on the popular arcade game originally released in 1999, players take on the role of the world’s top sniper and must defeat terrorists to save the American First Family, including the President of the United States, who have been abducted by terrorists in Chicago.

The game is said to be designed to take “full advantage" of the iPhone’s multi-touch user interface and feature tap-to shoot controls.

Here is a video of the Playstation 2 version of Silent Scope for those unfamiliar with the game:

The game is a rail shooter and can be played in Arcade Mode and Training Mode. The Arcade Mode features up to three stages of gameplay: Story, Shooting Range, and Time Attack. The game is “coming soon" to the App Store.

Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Touch received some criticism about the iPhone-simplified gameplay, though Silent Scope sniper mechanic already seems well suited to the iPhone.

    Hey Lars, some of us appreciate these kinds of posts. Not everyone cares about every posting. Were you enthralled by the Red Bull Air Race article? Probably not.

    I picked up Rogue Touch and Chocolatier at these sale prices. So far Rogue Touch has already fulfilled its $0.99 price by amusing me for several hours. I expect the same from Chocolatier.
