Ghost Trick is out on iOS today photo

Wow! I remember reading about the Japanese release of Ghost Trick iOS a little while back, but nothing really was said about potential US plans -- until today. Grab Ghost Trick iOS here, especially if you missed out on the DS release -- you won't regret it.

Keep in mind you will need an iPod 3G/iPhone 3 or higher to run it, but thankfully it's a universal app, so it'll work on pretty much every Apple device you own including your iPad. The first two chapters and the base app are free, but you'll have to cough up some cash for the rest of the experience.

As for the actual game, I can't say enough good things about Ghost Trick. It looks as smooth as butter (and has an even higher resolution on iDevices), the premise is unique, and the character designs are excellent. Now that it essentially has a two chapter demo, there's no excuse for not giving it a go.

Such a fantastic game, I'm glad it came to iOS. Now people who may not have heard of it or had the chance to play it will be able to enjoy a wonderful game.

Guess I'm stuck with it on my DS until they decide to bring it to Android.

Yep, a great little mystery game that deserved more than a spot on everyone's "Most Underrated" lists. Would love to see it at a higher resolution, too. Those animations were pretty slick.

Brilliant game. I bought the DS version recently for my 3DS - it's easily one of the most imaginative, charming and funny games I've ever played. Chad Concelmo was not wrong about how d'aww Missile was!

Damnit Capcom - what part of "iOS apps can't cost as much as retail games" didn't you understand?! The game actually costs **$25** if you want to play past the first two chapters!

@ DarkfalzX

I'm pretty sure it only costs $9.99 to buy all the chapters past the second.... Please correct me if I'm wrong though.

@DarkfalzX, you're reading it wrong. You either buy it in three parts at $5 each, or you get the whole shebang at $10.

Ghost Trick is awesome. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone that hasn't played it yet if you're the story type.

I'm always sad that Ghost Trick didn't get enough love last year. It was easily one of the best DS games of 2011. Not only is the gameplay some of the smartest I've ever seen, the narrative is simply delightful to watch unfold.

Two free chapters? I don't really dig adventure games, but I'll give it a spin.

This is awesome. GT: PD was one of the best DS titles I've played and I'm sure gonna play it on my iPad 2.

I got it off amazon last year for around 11 bucks on the ds.
I have to say, it is one of my contenders for GotY 2011, and may actually be my favorite release last year.
Awesome game.

Cool cool, I hope more people get to play that one, I've had almost more fun that I had with any Phoenix Wright games; I dont know why but there's less try and error stuffs making the story more smooth to follow, not sure if its a game youll replay but still awesome memories.

Don't know if it's just my iPhone 4, but it does certainly NOT look smooth as butter. The framerate is lower than on the DS, which I was just playing.
The higher resolution looks nice, but it is not as high as the retina displays native resolution. Interesting enough, the intro video has smoother graphics than in-game.

From what I understand, they had really smooth visuals that just didn't come through very well on the DS's tiny resolution. This is one rare example of a "good hardcore" game that will actually be better on iOS, and the very first time I'm annoyed I don't have an iPhone to play it.

Tied with Sonic 4 Ep 1 as the most expensive iOS game I've ever bought.

So far has not been a bag over the head buttfuck like Sonic felt like.

Same here. Maybe it's smoother and sharper on the 4S, I don't know.
