Video Game Reviews of Silent Hill
Customer Review: Silent Hill
Summary: 5 Stars
I Learned from this on I went by the picture and didn't read the discription that this was the disk only but that is my fault.
Works great, Got here on time and in very good condition.
Customer Review: Major step forward for games as an art form
Summary: 5 Stars
The story in this game (and all Silent Hill games for that matter) is phenomenal. Games like this are the ones that will help video gaming evolve as an artistic medium like books and film, rather than being seen as toys.
Here's a brief description for anyone reading this that doesn't know about Silent Hill (all 2 of you...); you play as a normal guy (not a military commando) that is driving along one minute and then, after nearly crashing, finds himself in Silent Hill where strange and hostile creatures roam the otherwise deserted town. And if that wasn't enough, his daughter is missing.
As the game progresses you will occasionally hear an alarm siren and the town will turn dark and shift from Silent Hill to Otherworld, where there are more monsters and the atmosphere is even more frightening and depressing.
There are multiple endings to keep you playing, and as mentioned the story is spot on so despite slightly frustrating combat and camera issues I recommend playing this game because there is nothing quite like the experience of a Silent Hill story.
Customer Review: Still, the Best horror game *no spoilers*
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a game for the PS1 system. It's got underwhelming graphics considering todays standards, but its incredibly immersive, as good as the best horror movies or books, everything about the game oozes atmosphere and style.
The game play, especially the movement is a little clunky though the emphasis is not on fast paced action so that is never and issue. The objective of the game is to go through a "haunted" town looking for a missing little girl while slowly discovering the back story of the town of silent hill. The puzzles are interesting and logical, never too difficult or too weird, though the game will seem a little little railroaded and constrained (since some sections of the town are off limits at the beginning you will be following a set course throughout the game) this is due to the nature of the eerie and slowly unfolding story. overall a great experience, better than a horror movie anyhow!
Silent Hill 2 will later top this story wise and become the best game in the series, though this magic first experience will remain the most intense!
Customer Review: Very scary
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is one of the scariest of all time. Fear perpetuates throughout the game at all times. And most of it is genuine fear, not just the cheap scares like something jumping out from behind a corner (but there are a few of those too). I can't play this game in the dark or alone, it messes me up.Customer Review: Down the rabbit hole we go
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a really fun videogame. Silent Hill is almost like a twisted version of Alice in Wonderland. Set with all kinds of twists and turns you'll certainly enjoy this game. Although beware, the gameplay as well as the outcome changes depending on the decisions that you make during the course of the game. So choose wisely. The part of the videogame that I found to be the most frustrating was the hospital. Even though I have never really played any of the other Silent Hill videogames except for Silent Hill Origins. I also highly recommend Silent Hill Origins.
