Silent Hill Homecomeing(Low to no spoilers)
Ok I have been a fan of Silent Hill since the first game scareing the hell out of myself in my basement in the dark. I was a bit on the skeptical when I heard that the developers not only are not the ones that had worked on the series thus far but that they also messed with some of the core game play mechanics. But I soon found after stepping into the first part of the game that the new fighting system worked well. In past silent hill games the camera would make fighting a bit wonky at times. The new system has cleaned up all the past stains on combat. You can now dodge attacks and then deliver a devastating counter attack. The flesh of your enemy shows damage as you attack. Nothing is more pleasing then to dodge an attack from a bobble head nurse then do a big slicing counter attack and watch her skin slice and see the red underneath. Also gun combat was a spray and pray system at best. Now with the over the shoulder aiming system you finally feel like you are totally in control of the weapon in your hand. Now on to the staple of Silent Hill the creepy factor. Now on a scale of one to ten I give this game a solid nine so far. Keep in mind I haven’t finished it yet so it may change. The monsters in silent hill are more gruesome and twisted than I have seen thus far. I mean that they will give you nightmares on there own. Ok on to difficulty yeah lets just save often and in more than one save slot. I had a bad run in with a group of three nurses and used a lot of health and ammo. Long story short I am going to have to replay the first three chapters over because of this folly on my part. Like in the other games it’s a good Idea to conserve ammo and health as much as possible. A rule I neglected and I am now paying for. lol So yeah thus far the game is a must buy for any fan of the series. It may take a bit of getting used to but trust me this game will give you nightmares if you play it late and go to bed right afterwards.
