Konami has announced today the availability of Silent Scope on Apple’s App Store. Based on the popular arcade game originally released in 1999, players will now be able to test their marksmen abilities on-the-go as they protect and defend the American First Family in this fast paced rail shooter.

Silent Scope takes full advantage of Apple’s innovative Multi-Touch user interface, enabling players to save the American First Family, including the President of the United States, who have been abducted by terrorists. Throughout the game, players can chose from two different gameplay modes including Arcade Mode and Training Mode. The Training Mode allows new players to practice precision shooting, while the Arcade Mode features three stages of gameplay for the veteran sniper: Story, Shooting Range and Time Attack. Additionally, Arcade Mode gives all players the chance to change the game settings to Difficulty, Player Life and Branch Attack. Silent Scope is available for $5.99 from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ve been playing other sniping games on the iPhone this year, but this one should be the daddy! I am so excited I can barely type straight in the App Store search bar!

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    Silent Scope was a favorite of mine both in the Arcades and on the Dreamcast. Being able to play it anytime, anywhere is going to make this a must get for me.
