Product Description

Platform: Sony PSP

The story follows Harry Mason, who wakes up after a car accident to find that his daughter Cheryl is missing. Harry will wander the snowy streets of Silent Hill searching for answers of her disappearance, but when the world freezes over, he will need to escape the lumbering demons that haunt his steps. Harry will need to navigate both worlds to discover the truth; not just about his missing daughter, but also the type of person he actually is. Silent Hill's debut on the Nintendo Wii makes the fear more real than ever before. Players will be drawn into the mysterious town using the Wii Remote as a flashlight and a cellphone as they search for clues. Choices they make will shape Harry Mason, as well as the people he meets and the places he visits. The enemies evolve as well, taking the form of the player's deepest fears. Silent Hill promises to be more terrifying than ever, bringing the fear to Wii, PS2, and PSP.

4.0 out of 5 stars Silent Hill story and feel, but different gameplay., March 24, 2010

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Video Game)

This story is set just before the infestation that happens/happened to Silent Hill.

I really liked this game, it stands alone from other SHs due to the fact that there's no combat, I repeat, no combat. When you aren't searching for clues as to the whereabouts of your missing daughter, you are in no possible danger.

There are various sequences within the game where your world freezes over and is infested by typical SH creatures. During these "battle sequences" if you can call them that. Your only option is to run for your life through the maze that it Silent Hill.

The game maintains it's creepiness, but I found it less-so than the other games in the series. The good story makes up for the missing fear.

Don't expect your typical SH, but do expect a new type of SH focused more on story than combat.

**Note: Replay value of this game is surprisingly high. The answers you give to your psychiatrist throughout the game, plus the mementos/clues you find shape the story. There are 4 endings, thus far I have achieved 2.

5/5 for fun, because the story is great, and it's a new risk the developers took with the series.
4/5 because it's a good game, but at times I felt like I was just playing a movie, which as good and bad qualities.
5/5 for graphics, some of the best I've seen thus far on my psp
4.5 overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars And interesting take on a classic., February 19, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Video Game)

After reading prior reviews on various gaming forums, I almost didn't purchase this game. However, due to curiosity and also to being a hardcore Silent Hill gamer, I changed my mind. I do not regret it. I won't go into details, as I do not wish to spoil anything but I did find this game to be enjoyable. It was fun, but short...incredibly short. I prefer my games to be long but for a gaming platform such as the PSP, the short length of the game was perfect. I do wish that you could've done more than simply "run" from your opponents, but I wasn't bored with the concept once I'd gotten into it. Running away is as much of a challenge as hacking and slashing...maybe more-so. It tends to give you a feeling of helplessnes; perfect for a psychological game of this genre. Again, this isn't Silent Hill 1, 2, or 3...the gameplay is different. I found it refreshing.

This review is from: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Video Game)

All I can say is to get the PSP over PS2. And the other thing is that after you play to the ending you will be left it speechless. the last two levels are wtf. You will feel the nightmare.
