Silent Hill: Book of Memories (PS Vita) Review - JPS

"For over a decade, the Silent Hill series has managed to stay true to its roots by providing a true survival horror experience. This is quite the feat considering its long-time rival, Resident Evil, has moved into the action genre. While moving from one genre to another can result in mixed reactions, like we’ve seen with the Resident Evil series, it’s now time for Konami to take a risk with the latest Silent Hill game on the PlayStation Vita, which is vastly different from the Silent Hill series we all know." - JPS

Great! definitely getting this one.

sdozzo4198d ago

Try the demo first. Seems okay.

snake-OO4198d ago

I tried the demo, and I hated it, also I am probably one of the biggest SH fans out there so by that you will already know why I didn't like it.

GribbleGrunger4198d ago (Edited 4198d ago )

When I first heard of this game, I hung my head in disappointment. I've seen the franchise go through a metamorphosis over the last few years and I've got to say I wasn't happy about it... But, having downloaded the demo of this, I was pleasantly surprised. Let's hope the reviews reflect the quality of the game and not the disappointment of stubborn Silent Hill fans, of which I was one (and still am concerning the console versions)

Kalowest4198d ago

What are the best SH games, I want to get into the series.

GribbleGrunger4198d ago (Edited 4198d ago )

LOL. Edited!!!! Sarcasm noted...

If not, the first three IMO

Gamesgbkiller4198d ago

fro the Reviews , maybe it is a good game
For sure not as A Silent Hill .. but not bad

DivineAssault 4198d ago

waiting for a price drop on this one.. I like dungeon crawlers & wayforward games but i wasnt feeling the game too much.. It was bland to me & vita is so much more capable of better visuals than this

Protagonist4198d ago

Sure the PSVITA is much more capable, but visuals aint all.

Hicken4198d ago

No, of course not. It's never all about visuals. But it IS disappointing when the visuals could be a lot better, yet they aren't.

SIX4198d ago

It ain't silent hill, but it's damn addictive. It's also much deeper than you would expect. If you like level grinding and looting you may like this. So far a huge surprise for me and most enjoyable vita title for me so far.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26176d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake176d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69175d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26175d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

Honestly, I'd add Lords of Shadow 2 to the list. That was a huge disappointment.

I thought Suikoden would be mention.

FallenAngel19842798d ago

Konkani has very few franchises that people can look forward these days
