Bookmark this on Delicious
The Silent Hill series barely needs an introduction, for the videogame series has become a byword for mastery within the survival horror style. The long list of titles has stretched over numerous consoles over the years, and continues to bring revolutionary and genuinely disturbing gameplay to our screens. This pattern continues with the most recent release for the PSP and PSP Go!- Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
This title is a copy of the Wii counterpart released in 2009, and the transfer to the little screen has been impressively popular. The formula for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is recognisable but welcome; you’re Harry Mason, who awakens after a crash to his daughter gone astray within Silent Hill. This abandoned place ranges from forboding creepiness to complete terror as its horrific inhabitants start to reveal themselves, and the PSP’s visual edge does not fail us here.
Some fascinating and innovative gaming features are used in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Firstly, the well discussed ‘running’ sequences from the Wii counterpart are passed through. These make Harry defenceless and therefore only able to flee from his enemies, and therefore you engage in a very terrifying interactive scene as you try to flee from those clawing at your back.
Next, as gamers move forward through the storyline, the gameplay is interspersed with scenes involving Harry talking about life with a psychologist. This individual can raise general queries concerning life, his views on women etc. The responses you decide on can actually have an effect on the numerous places you visit and also the characters/enemies you meet. This evidently opens Silent Hill: Shattered Memories up for numerous playthroughs to see everything.
This title unquestionably upholds the long line of great offerings from the Silent Hill series; combining the tried and tested formula with fresh and innovative gameplay features. If you are a devotee of the legendary creepy survival horror, then Silent Hill: Shattered Memories should be a clear option!
