My review of Silent Hill Homecoming.
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:39 am
It is an action adventure horror game. You play as Alex Shepherd. He is a war vet that is just coming home to his town of Shepherd's Glen. He meets him mom and finds out his brother is missing. He goes to look for him and meets a childhood friend who there was probably more then meets the eye going on with. He finds out that most of the townsfolk are have gone missing. He starts out on an adventure.
Graphics
This game has awesome 1080 graphics. The fmv sequences are top of the line. Some of the best work I have seen on the 360. You can even read writing on the walls and signs.
Game play
If you have played a silent hill game then you know what the camera angles are like. It puts me in the mind of resident evil 2. You have to rely on melee weapons. Firearms ammo is few and should be saved for a certain monster. It is called the smog. You get close to it and its chest opens up and shots smog in all directions. The radio and flashlight are back. The functions have not changed.
Puzzles
The puzzles are back. Some more trickier then others. One comes to mind as I write this. Each family has its own crest. You have to solve a puzzle with the crest on rings that you have to line up. It took me while. To get that one.
Story
The story is good. It ties into the themes of other silent hill games. You will learn a lot about the past of Shepherd's Glen and then you will enter silent hill itself. It is a new part of town that you have not seen in the other games. You will have multiple choice questions that will help lead the story along.
Monsters
There is monsters from the past games. The executioner is this game. You don’t fight him but seeing him in 1080 will frighten you real good. The nurses are back and there is a monsters from origins that is in the game. He is a pain just like the new monster that has a ax blade for a head.
Overall
This is a good game. I would say 3/5 and would play threw it again. I started to play it again but dang it I just had to get out my resident evil games and start on them again after playing threw 5 on all four difficulties. If there is anything you would like to know about this game then ask.
