While some reviewers of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (out today) fault the game’s lack of combat, others, including GameTrailers says it’s a memorable fresh experience. If I can get past what I only imagine to be hyper cheesy dialog, it looks promising.

Despite mixed reviews, Silent Hill looks fantastic on Wii

This one is definitely on my wishlist. I had a blast playing the demo at this year's E3, and it kept making me come back for more. The best part? Watching my friend play it while wearing these headphones that let you hear everything going on in the game, and then seeing his whole body shake from one of the game's scares XD
All in all, it's got the looks and graphics down quite nicely, the gameplay is very fun, and I absolutely love the way they make the Wiimote more useful as a hub for different kinds of actions for the phone's tools you use in-game. My favorite would be the flashlight (looks amazing as it illuminates everything in-game), the camera and voice msgs, where you actually put the Wiimote to your ear to listen in to some creepy stuff!
And I could also do without the combat. Harry Mason isn't an action fighter like most video game characters turn out to be, and it's another scary thrill to have to stay hidden and/or run away from monsters.
I never watched Silent Hill alone. But I will really save up for this game. It looks really fun to play.
I bought this game on Sunday because GameStop didn't have a street date. I love the game and it looks beautiful. The flash light is really cool and the chase scenes are scary. The voice acting is great and the dialogue isn't cheesy actually it is pretty good. I highly recommend this so go pick it up.
You know, I was initially worried this was gonna be one of those "looks-like-a-fantastic-core-experiences-and-then-ends-up-shallow-as-hell" games but from what I have seen and read, it offers a truly immersive experience. It has a carefully crafted and detailed world and a deep story.
And as far as reviews go, I wouldn't call them mixed yet… It's metacritic score is 77. Better than Silent Hill Homecoming and that was a great game as well.
I can't wait to pick up my copy (I mean, get it for my birthday on the 17th : P).
Thank you.It is grate This is cool
