Silent Hill and DanceDanceRevolution now on iPhone

Also arriving in the iTunes Store is DanceDanceRevolution S Lite, an early version of the game – the "full version" is "currently in the works." It's being distributed for free, which seems like a bargain until you factor in the price of replacing your iPhone after you jump all over it.

The line "Watch your back, evil!" reminded me of Minsc from Baldur's Gate... So I thought I would share some more of his quotes:
Minsc: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, watch it! I'm huge!
Minsc: Swords! Not words!
Minsc: Evil 'round every corner...careful not to step in any.
Minsc: There is strength in numbers, and I am two or three, at least.
Minsc: Butt kicking for goodness!
Minsc: Boo points, I punch - it's a very simple relationship, but it is effective!
Minsc: I grow tired of shouting battle cries when fighting this mage. Boo will finish his eyeballs once and for all, so he does not rise again! Evil, meet my sword! SWORD, MEET EVIL!

Wait if silent hill came out today, how was my friend playing it? He showed it to me like a week ago.

Neither Silent Hill or DanceDanceRevolutionSLite came out today, Joystiq is wrong. Silent Hill has been out for a couple weeks and I downloaded DDR sometime last week

Here is how you make DDR on iPhone awesome:
1. Insert file editor
2. Allow file editor to incorporate any iTunes songs
3. Create a dance beat for all your Tenacious D tracks
4. FINGERDANCE!

The music player runs as a privileged application within the iPhone and iPod Touch; it's a black box unless your device is jailbroken, so Konami can't make an "official" DDR with those features. It's the same problem that's stopped Audioscrobbler from working on the thing.
Honestly, until this gets fixed, I can't see the iPhone being a good platform for music games. I love the device, really, but not as a games machine (the fact that I'm constantly playing Word Wrap on it notwithstanding).

it's also one of the many things stopping the iphone from being half way decent

I believe that is called Stepmania

I'm going to accelerate the hell out of evil.

If I had a shrink ray to use on myself DDR would be sweet!
jynxycat @ Jan 22nd 2009 12:21PM
The DDR game seems to suffer from a bit of slowdown at times, which instantly kills it from being great, and not mediocre.

There's a nice description of the Silent Hill game (and gameplay video) over at touchArcade: http://toucharcade.com/2008/12/31/silent-hill-now-available-in-the-us/

not that I expected anything more, but the gameplay looked pretty basic and terrible on the iPhone.
Quattro @ Jan 22nd 2009 4:44PM
I thought this was some sort of Dance Dance Silent Hill where you kill zombies by dancing, somewhat like The Typing of the Dead.
john paul @ Jan 22nd 2009 6:27PM
theres an itunes review for DDR that says : i love the idea of not using my feet!!!
i lol'd
john paul @ Jan 22nd 2009 6:30PM
By the way, if these three games (DDR, Silent Hill,Frogger (WHICH CAME OUT A WHILE AGO) show how Konami's is doing on the iphone then MGS is gonna be terrible.
