    Silent Hill Shattered Memories will probably feel like a shallow version of the series to veteran players. But as a standalone title it represents a niche that is intelligent, thoughtful and meaningful.

    An atmospheric masterpiece with many endings and a big amount of goose bumps all over your neck! But be warned, the game lasts for eight hours at maximum – and you‘re going to hate the creepers really soon.

    These issues noted, Shattered Memories remains a competent PSP action thriller, particularly for those with no other choices.

    New chapter to the horror series returns to its roots and brings a slight change in visual style. Next time we ask for less ice and more rot and fear please. [Feb 2010]

    Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a decent PSP-title, with some scary moments. The only problem with the game is the length of the adventure, which is very short.

    An excellent Silent Hill adaption for the format.

    If you’re interested in a solid, nerve-shredding jaunt through familiar territory with a few curve-balls thrown in to make the experience somewhat novel, however, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories delivers all the chills and uneasiness the series is renown for.

    This is not an instant classic like the first or second entries in the Silent Hill franchise, but it's clearly one of the best games in this genre for a portable console.

    Meaty horror turns vegan in a smart, visually-impressive but scare-free PSP rebirth. [Mar 2010, p.78]

    A little more focus on creating bigger scares instead could have easily let it flourish. [Apr 2010, p.109]

    Shattered Memories gives you something to think about, even if you don't feel like you have direct control over how events transpire -- a result of the game's non-binary, open-ended decisions, both in how you play the game and in the "psychological profiles" you undergo.

    In a game like Silent Hill: Shattered Memories the immersion is crucial to giving the player the full experience and unfortunately, that experience doesn't come along with the game's other high points to the PSP.

    Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is frankly, one of the better PSP games I've played. It's certainly not the best on the system, but it's certainly pretty and the sound design is through the roof with proper headphones.

    I won't make this one long. This version might be the worst possible version to experience this game but it's the only one I played so far andI won't make this one long. This version might be the worst possible version to experience this game but it's the only one I played so far and it was still one of my favorite Silent Hill titles. It follows a completely original formula and has an incredible concept and really nails on the horror and tension department. The lack of enemy types isn't really an issue on this one since they have quite the symbolism.… Full Review »
