Silent Hill Shattered Memories is a unique game that first was released back in 2009 on the Wii and then later ported to the PS2 and PSP it's a shame it never made it to the 360, PS3, and PC. The game is a reimagining of the original Silent Hill game. You play as Harry Mason who gets into a car crash in a snow storm and his daughter goes missing. You as a player talk to a therapist leading up to the events after the crash. What is interesting about this game is that it psychology profiles you the questions the therapist ask you, your answers will have an affect on your game and characters you meet down the road. The atmosphere in this game is stunning the snowy setting feels very immersive and comforting at times. But the game can change in a instant and the town will start getting completely covered in ice and creatures will come and chase you. Your goal is to escape and find a exit there is no weapons but only a flare to scare them away temporarily. Another interesting mechanic in the game is that you can use your cell phone to not only call random numbers in the game world but also use it as a camera to take pictures of ghost and get a audio message after to tell their story. The soundtrack in this game is phenomenal it was the last time Akira Yamaoka from the original team silent developers made music for this series. The ending of the game has a major twist that was cleaver and felt very satisfy. To sum it up Silent Shattered Memories was a interesting title that pushed innovation and story telling. You can tell the Devs of the game Until Dawn where very inspired by this there is alot of similarities from a shrink to the butterfly effect. I feel Shattered Memories was ahead of it's time and it's a shame that not many people have played this game because it was a Wii mature game and a very late PS2 and PSP game. SH:SM is a forgotten gem that deserves a HD remaster so everybody can experience it.
