You know I actually had a chance to check out the iPhone last night for the first time. The screen is great but controlling anything on it is torture. Pac-man had three different ways to control it and not a one of them felt intuative. I just want to know when companies are going to get the clue that simulating a d-pad on a touch screen doesn’t work. You need that tactile feeling for it to work right. Also like maxchain, I have to question what the point of a DDR game is on anything that doesn’t use your feet.

Bah, who keeps telling them to put DDR on foot-less platforms?

MGS Touch is evidently a conversion of Kojipro’s free flash game (dunno if they’ve taken it down now). It’s all 2D sprites and pretty janky.

Silent Hill looks terrible. DDR is the only passable one up there imo.

Namco also converted Katamari Damacy to iPhone btw.
