Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

- Matt has been playing it
- Completed the game once
- Playing it again
- It’s a fun game
- Review is up
- No marketing, advertising for the game, people are getting a vibe that’s it’s a junk game because of that – But it’s not
- It’s a well-made game for Wii
- Climax Studios created the game
- Re-imagining of the original game
- Play as Harry Mason, crashes in the middle of a blizzard in Silent Hill, daughter has gone missing
- Different in how it plays/pacing than the original
- Has some bold/fresh design choices
- Wiimote controls flashlight
- Matt says the flashlight is the best flashlight he has ever seen in any game, PS3/360 games included
- Awesome lighting for the flashlight
- Grainy filter is in the game, has been a trademark in Silent Hill games
- Meticulously designed world, lots of cool details
- Two gameplay types: Exploration with flashlight and puzzle-solving
- Cell-phone used for many of the puzzles
- Also run for your life throughout – scared Matt a lot
- Press down on the d-pad to see behind you while running
- Matt’s thinks the game is too short (5 hours if you play straight-through)
- Replay value comes from psych profile (different appearances from characters, dialogue trees, etc.)
- Matt’s other gripe is that you’ll always be fine when there is no ice around
- Still a good game
- No weapons (helps to make the game scary)
- You won’t be scared if you don’t get scared by Resident Evil or Dead Space
- A lot of new gameplay types which break up monotony (ex: You’ll be inside a car as it falls into a lake, water will flood it, need to get out)
- Releasing on Tuesday
