I think they could have gotten away with no chase scenes at all if they had padded the normal parts out with more puzzles.
It doesn't feel like much of a Silent Hill game, really, so I also think they could have just made a new IP with new characters, but kept the game exactly the same. This would avoid stepping on the toes of raging japanophiles, since Shattered Memories really has fuck-all to do with the original game as far as remakes go. It's great, though, I even caught myself enjoying the chase right after Lisa's apartment.
Anyway, I'll probably finish it tomorrow, then get all of the endings like I've done with all the other SH games. And do the UFO challenge, and hoarde all the mementos. It's a shame that there's no difficulty setting for the puzzles because I loved 3's retarded convoluted poetry deciphering marathons.

I said Celestine was the most guilty too, Schimid. Then the prince, then the bull, then the king. On reflection I think I did it backwards from what it should have been, since it's probably a "you're a horrible father" metaphor.
I fucked up pretty royally on the Sleeping/Dead test; I think I only said two or three of them were only sleeping. I hope that doesn't reflect poorly! |
