I don't care if it's still Silent Hill. Is it a good game? I can't seem to get a straight answer...

It's something that's really been bothering me. I never played any of the original silent hill games, and in every review I read there's some sort of bias about how it's not like the original. I want to know if it's a good game, I don't care how different or similar it is to Silent Hill.

We played through it over the weekend. It really isn't a Silent Hill game story wise and it does have some issues but I enjoyed it never the less. I'd say rent it and check it out.

It is a good game, and it is very much a Silent Hill game. People seem to forget the horror of Silent Hill is deeply psychological, and Shattered Memories has that in spades.

Though it's possible to beat the game under 3 hours, reacting differently to the psychological examinations will give you a much different run through. It's also got a great storyline, and the ending was crazy. I'd rent it though, IMO.

I'm not sure what kind of comment is this.
Is this a "Psh, SH:SM isn't scary at all" comment?

Aren't you worried about the wii version? I know I am.

A buddy of mine just got me this for Christmas. I'm a longtime Silent Hill fan (2 is my favorite) but have typically been forgiving of the series' "lesser installments," including Homecoming, so I'm looking forward to trying it.
