Despite both titles having been available for a couple of weeks with dozens of customer reviews each, Konami today announces the launch of Silent Hill: The Escape and DanceDanceRevolution S Lite for the iPhone.
Metal Gear isn’t the only Konami cash-cow that can make the jump to the iPhone. It’s been announced tonight that two further Konami franchises – Silent Hill and DDR – will be joining it.
Konami of Japan has released Silent Hill: The Escape for mobile phones today on FOMA 904i and 905i hand sets, making fantasies of shooting faceless hordes of sexy nurse zombies with your phone a reality. Silent Hill: The Escape uses the phone’s built-in camera to monitor a user’s movements allowing for aiming and reloading of your character’s gun. The game also supports 3D sound and vibration to emulate the series’ radio static feature that lets a player know how close enemies are and from where they are approaching.
Given that the Silent Hill spin-off, which seems to share more with Silent Hill: The Arcade than anything else in the series, doesn’t attempt to use a cell phone keypad for control gives it a much lower chance of sucking. Say, 98%. Not bad for a cell phone game!
