Silent Hill goes shooter - Image 1

We’ve already reported to you folks the other day about the Fighter of the Century tournament for Virtua Fighter 5 during the annual AOU exhibition at Japan. Well, here’s more from the event.

Proving that the world of coin-op isn’t dead – or lost in the mist, Japanese news site GAME Watch reports that the people from Konami gave their Silent Hill light-gun game a debut at the AOU Arcade Game Exhibition 2007. The game’s entitled Silent Hill: The Arcade, and players can choose to be either Eric or Tina (the two lead characters), and they step into the foggy other-world that is Silent Hill, where in you have to fend off undead nurses, creepy babies, and even good old Pyramid Head.

The gun holds ten shots and shooting off-screen reloads. The red button in the panel has to be pressed at the right moment to progress in the game.

A semi-zombie shooter set in the world of Silent Hill? Will it work? Is it even in tune with the more psychological style of (shock/creep) horror that Silent Hillis known for? What do you guys think?
