Some of the things I liked about the game are the fact that the story-line is OK, the monsters are sweet (but difficult, I'll get to that in a minute,) the graphics are excellent and the characters are very creative. This new title has a VERY SMALL selection of weapons, even smaller when it comes to melee weapons, though the ol' steel pipe and knife are there. This adds a major level of realism to the game, but sadly this new title completely removes it. In fact, the game is absolutely horrible when compared to previous. Health items are very hard to find and through most of the game you will be using a very small selection of melee weapons and not guns because there are also very limited bullets.
They do not disappear. I recommend it to survival horror fans, but I do NOT recommend it to major Silent Hill fans looking for another great Silent Hill game. Right now I'm going to tell you exactly why it is so bad and why Double Helix should be shut down for turning the greatest video game franchise of all time into a low budget pile of junk:1. After you play this game you will seriously think that the developers have never touched a Silent Hill game in their lives. I first want to say that the new development company has done a horrible job at keeping up with Team Silent (previous developer).
When you bump into objects they move in this game, it would have been really nice if you could pick up objects and throw them at monsters but nope, you cant.4. I had never in my life had so much difficulty in a Silent Hill game, VERY DISAPPOINTED, but I did finally beat the game.3. Well, this new game has no easy mode, just Normal and Professional and the Normal mode is VERY DIFFICULT. DEAD MONSTERS DISAPPEAR - If your a major Silent hill fan like me, you've probably noticed that in all of the previous titles, when you kill a creature it's dead body stays in the spot you killed it in, even when you leave the room.
Now, bodies disappear within seconds of being killed. If your a Silent Hill fan, you may want to RENT this game, not buy it. The new Silent Hill brings many changes, some good but most bad, to the series. VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF WEAPONS - Silent Hill 4 gave us tons of awesome melee weapons, from golf clubs to torches you could light to small axes, they were literally sweet as anyone could imagine and 0rigins gave us cool things like TV's and toasters and way more. Well, Double Helix managed to screw that up too. YOU CAN TELL ITS LOW BUDGET - Just by playing it you can tell it's very low budget and does not even try to keep up with the level of excellence offered in previous titles. NO EASY MODE - Another great thing about Silent Hill in the past was that all of the games (with the exception of 0rigins) had an easy mode. Trust me, its not worth it.
The only way that I can see someone enjoying this game is if they didn't like the previous titles because this game feels nothing like them at all. Although the story-line is not bad, for me it was very hard to get through, both because of the difficulty and the fact that Double Helix removed most of the stuff that made Silent Hill great.NOTE: I accidently checked the wrong amount of stars, I ment to check lower but Amazon wont let me change it. This was a major major disappointment to me, MAJOR.2. And not only was there an easy mode, the easy mode was actually easy, unlike in Resident Evil where the easy mode is still pretty difficult. The controls are clunky, some of the areas do not match what was shown in previous games, the flashlight is horrible, it is pretty short (even shorter then previous titles) and it just overall does not feel like Silent Hill.In the future, if Double Helix develops another Silent Hill game, I will think twice before buying it. If your reading this Amazon staff, I ment to check 1 star for fun level.ScoresAudio: 9/10Graphics: 7/10Story-line: 7/10Overall fun: 2/10
I have been a fan of the series from the start. This game was Great. I was scarred & enjoyed the enemies, the only thing I wish is that they "used" Josh a bit more.So as usual can't wait for a new SILENT HILL, Bring it on, I am ready.
I expected more from this game, I'm a fan of the Silent Hill series and had many expectations but I am not convinced this game. I hope that if you get one more this next game to match the new generation of consoles.
While the graphics are better than previous versions, it seems to be lacking compared to many other PS3 titles. The gameplay is so-so. The fear factor remains though, which is a plus.
It stick to the Silent Hill roots.the updated graphics and lighting are a welcomed touch. The music score is great as always. I enjoying this installment more than SH:4 The Room.but 1 and 2 will always be the best.
