I don't understand how Shattered Memories can get low scores.

 - There is no quick way to pull up a map. Open cell phone, push map button, push button to view full map. Worst of all, its in real time. So if you're running away from creatures you have no time to even check the map.

 

 

That part actually sounds really good to me. Kind of doesn't let you cheat out the survival horror. "Oh no they're coming to get me! Time to pause and pull out a map..." I like the thought that escape should be panicked.

heh...yeah it works to make things scary for a bit.

But after you die the 5th time because you are lost and are running in circles...then it starts to frustrate. I see what they were trying to do with it though.

When you are on the part of the level where you run for your life, they have these hide spots, like under the bed or in a locker where you can hide to recover your energy. But you have to make sure the creature doesn't see you going in there. However you can't check the map when you're hiding...lol

Pressing Left on the D-pad?

Someone told me this and I'm yet to try it...so yeah, I guess reading the manual helps but whens the last time you read a game manual?

Always! :D I pay for it, it's part of my collection, it's something I like to evaluate too and, like you say, it sometimes give us good information.

You might want to start, at least, giving them a quick look. There are gorgeous manuals that shouldn't be missed.

I remember reading manuals for every genesis game I bought when i was a kid. Sometimes ill go through them for art work but like most guys...I hate asking for guidence and directions :)
