Although there is at least one of these, you are told exactly when to go to by the game. Furthermore, in a time travelling game it would make sense to have puzzles which could only be solved by going into a number of different time periods.
Some puzzles could have been really difficult, except that the notebook feature told me exactly what I had to do. A glance at the prop list of items you've picked up will also give you far too many clues as to what to do with them.

I only came across two of what I would call genuine posers, the first of which is simply how to get the plot started at the very beginning (having just had a mystical experience involving Eike's own death and resurrection, the "Old Alchemist Shop" seemed to me the most logical place to visit, and so it proved - but I can see how youngsters might be at a bit of a loss). (Also slightly unfortunate was the choice of "Lebensbaum" as the name of the town - chiming as it does with "Lebensraum", Hitler's fascist dogma of "Living Room for Germans" which "justified" his conquest of Europe.) Of course, it has to be said that the American accents can be a little irritating, particularly when a 1580s butcher woman tells Eike "You're pretty cute"!īut if it's so good, why give it only three stars? It's not just the shortness of the game (I completed my first runthrough in a tad under five hours), but that, for a game which is all puzzles and no action, said puzzles could have been a little more taxing. Only Eike's bizarre hairdo screams "Japanese!" at you. Once again (as with Silent Hill 2), one takes one's hat off to Japanese developers who have created a Western environment with so much attention to detail that one would swear that the creators of the game were Westerners themselves. With a highly detailed 3D rendering of a German town through four different eras, the look of the game is fantastic.

Another good move on the part of the developers was in making sure that cutscenes and gameplay were all done in the same quality graphics, thus making it much more of a seamless experience (Cf: Shenmue and most of Resident Evil: Code Veronica). Rarely in video games have the voice acting performances matched the graphical acting performances so completely, for all the characters. Charles Martinet as the mysterious being Homunculus gains particular kudos for his superb voice talent. The high quality of the cutscenes comes from excellent graphical design and animation of characters and backgrounds, a well written script, and excellent acting performances. Strangely enough, on occasion even better results are gleaned from playing the game badly, as you get a higher percentage completion by dying more often. Fortunately, the quality of these is such that if you're in the right frame of mind they are quite enthralling, involving you emotionally with the characters and very effectively deepening the storyline. The actual amount of user interaction is a far lower proportion of the total game, compared to the cutscenes.

Let me state that it is evident that this is far more an interactive movie than a game. If, like me, you played Silent Hill 2 on "Beginner" action level because you couldn't care less about killing zombies, but wanted to get past them to the interesting puzzle and story aspects, you should at least give Shadow of Memories a rental once-over.
