Relive the Legacy: Experience a blast from Blizzard's past! The Blizzard® Arcade Collection brings three of our classic console games to modern platforms and new audiences. The psyche profile will adapt Harry’s actions as and when he meets normal-looking people or the game's many inhuman denizens. Small visual elements will also be altered slightly, adding to the oppressing atmosphere where nothing is what it seems. Also new to Shattered Memories is a psyche profile element, which monitors every aspect of player’s reactions - from where they explore first, items that have been examined, and their reaction to those they meet. Such technology was not available when the original Silent Hill was released in 1999, and its inclusion showcases Konami’s determination to enhance the playing experience with new, available technology. Likewise, the Wii Remote also can be used to pick up, examine and manipulate items to solve puzzles along the journey. The torch is vital for scouring the darkened, abandoned buildings of Silent Hill, while the phone acts as a secondary user interface, allowing the player to access maps via its GPS capabilities and take pictures of interesting elements. Designed to make full use of the Wii's unique controllers, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories uses the Wii Remote as a torch and cell phone as Mason looks for clues. A broken man, Mason’s investigations lead him to the mist-shrouded, snowy streets of Silent Hill: a malevolent town where the shadows play host to a wealth of evil, misshapen creatures. The title follows Harry Mason, as he attempts to unravel the mystery of his missing daughter, Cheryl. Characters can be approached but offer different responses and be found in different places, while new clues and gameplay paths can be followed.
While the game shares its twisting plot with the original PlayStation game, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories takes a different path in many, many ways.
