This game is way too over looked. People need to notice that this game isn't a remake, it's a reimage. It's "Shattered Memories" for a reason. And the running is better than fighting. I mean really, if you saw monsters like that, would you really have guts to grab a stick and stand there being closer than 2 inches? Or run like a mother f*cker? I say run.
@loolo72 Yeah the story is really pointless like RickLMint123 said. The story is all fake it's one of those "it's all in your head" things. The original Silent Hill (Which I have and beat) was bad ass the horror was all real in fact Harry even said it himself. The blood,the gore, the monsters, transitions to the otherworld all REAL.

@HeartOfInsanity well in the movie they gave some reason or something to why it was i ash and in SH:SM its snow and i think in the first SH it was fog or could have been snow too :D
Great game with touching and emotionally impacting story. Once the game ended I could not get it off my mind for weeks and felt I was attached to both the main character and his daughter (even know never meet her). The chase parts of the game I actually really enjoyed, and had me on edge the whole chase.
If your after a regular silent hill game, this wont be for you. If your after something a bit more impacting, modern and mildly scary, this ones for you :)
All and all, this was not a respectful nod toward the original idea. It was nothing more than a childish version of something that actually could have been good, and not because it was on the wii, but because it thrived too much on too many repetitive and cliched ideas. The original is still ten times better and this one couldn't touch it with a twenty foot pole.
@Cacowninja I been a long time SH fan and I found this enjoying. But that's me. Just saying, just because you didn't like it doesn't mean the game sucks.
storytelling elements; and the fact that it's a " Teen" game makes me wonder why even call this Silent Hill at all? This is nothing more than a whiney teenager that can't accept the death of her father, so what does she do? Act like every other cliched " troubled" kids and becomes bad and has sex with older men. Give me a break. That's corny. And as for that " psyche profiling". What a crock of crap. It doesn't read you, but gives you moral situations based on your ideas with Dr. Kaufman.
Bland, unimmersive environments, a story that, when you delve into it and get to the end, utterly seems pointless and illogical to the source materal; the supposed " horror elements" are nothing more than funhouse techniques that could only scare someone who is new to survival horror; the monsters, which are significant to the ideologies of Silent Hill, are one thing that just changes cosmetically, and that's it; the characters are uninteresting and thrive on more sexual ideas than...
@SNAKESOAP117 Yeah, the game's actually a lot better than this review claims as well, in my opinion. It's pretty tense, but the atmosphere and story are what make it a classic for me. The controls are pretty smooth as well, and the motion controls add to the intensity during the chase sequences. Recommended!

If you'd read the book I Am Legend, you'd know that they are more like traditional vampires than they are in the movie. The movie is quite losely based on the book, so with srvisgod88 on this one.
I ordered the game last night. Hopefully it's as good as it looks. I'm a fanatic, so I should be ashamed of myself for not discovering this game up until last night. :P
I'm gonna buy SH 5 as soon as I've bought an Xbox360 or PS3. Whatever the reviews and rumors that says it doesn't measure up. :)
there needs to be an online Silent Hill game where it runs in a "real" time e.g each 1 minute equals 2-4 minutes in game. And say about each 2 hours for 20minutes the world becomes satanic and you have to fight but there are ways to avoid this e.g Hiding, Fighting, Logging out.
And its a trading/faction/developing game like EvE where instead of just being a lone wolf levelling up game you fight in a faction, sell, and even become a "churchy" from the film! Imagne it.
Although I've heard good things about this game, I've sort of had a block against playing it, mainly due to the lack of combat. There's wisdom in running at times, but I like having the option to properly explore my surroundings and pick up items when it suits me. Even if it is more believable that Harry would run instead of fight, it's still good to have a choice.
i think this concept is rather welcoming for the silent hill franchise, though i'm a bit disapointed that the only suspence you have in the game is when everything starts to freeze over, but in my opinion i think what could've also made this game a bit better was to have an FPS POV. just my own opinion. I'm also glad that they didn't make and entirely different game that leached off of the silent hill 2 story line characters like almost every other silent hill game that came out after 4.
people should buy this game. if only for the strory itself. imo, its a proud entry in the silent hill series, and has all the qualities a silent hil game has, espicially in the story behind in it. the gampleays fantastic, and the controls aren't neasr perfect, they just are perfect. the games short, but it hasd lots of different endings and things to play aroubnd withn in the physcolog things, and the world itself. pleeeeeeeeeeeease buy this game you guys, it phenominal.
all those z's? just don't type like that, it makes you look stupid, which i would not classify a stranger as unless i actually understood who they were, if you don't want to appear like a 6th grader i wouldn't recommend typing like that
I'm gonna side with smackdownvsrawrocks on this one, even though I think flame wars are pointless (especially this one :/). In my opinion, it doesn't matter how you type on YouTube. This isn't a place for grammar or spelling, you just watch the video and freely speak about it without anyone bothering you with 'the rules of standard English'.
I'd like to know a little bit more about silent hill.
do you just aimlessly run around flashing a torch in everybodys faces and run away from I Am Legend wannabe monsters ? :/ If so, this is kinda disappointing..
I wonder if Ben Yahzee (zero punctuation) has played this yet?
No combat who cares? there are enough games like that... sillent hill was never great at combat anyway but what makes the series is so good is the evil city, story and pyramid head is a pimp.
@olliesmith132 I would prob get lot of hate for this but nintendo failed bad this gen. I bought wii on my b_day so happy with super smash to found out online sucked. Wii is full of thrash third party games and has like 10-15 good games. I really like nintendo but yea wii is for kids and families. And I was so hyped up 4 conduit but it dissappointed me so i got a 360 n i m glad i did. dont think of me as a fanboy but if u want hardcore games dont even think of buyin the wii
