Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Dated For USA

Konami has issued the US release date for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

The game, a re-envisioning of the very first Silent Hill game, sees Harry Mason searching the deserted streets of Silent Hill for his daughter Cheryl, and Americans will be able to take part in the search on 8 December on Wii, and a little later on PS2 and PSP.

What's different this time around? For starters, there's a psych profile feature that rearranges the game world based on how you play, which apparently even bases things off, say, the first thing you look at when you walk into a room. More interesting still is that there's no combat. While you're still going to be chased by nightmarish creatures, you can't fight back.

Which sounds fantastic to me, but then I do like my horror games. If you fancy some more details on what you can expect from the game, have a look at this news item, and check out our video interview while you're at it.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is due out in the US on 8 December on Wii, with the PSP and PS2 versions "following shortly." We've been told that we can expect it over here in February.
