The reason this game has such a bad rep is because it moves away from the traditional survival-horror gameplay we've come to associate with the SH brand in favor of top-down ARPG action à la Diablo. That would be Konami's Silent Hill themed pachinko machines which appear to be the sad future of the series. I'm not saying it's a great game, but Book of Memories is far from the franchise tarnishing change in direction so many would have you believe.

All because people don't understand the concept of spin-offs. A game that gets talked about more for what it isn't, rather than what it is.
