DESCRIPTION
Konami's celebrated survival horror series known for its surreal atmosphere and supernatural enemies makes its debut appearance on the PlayStation 3 in Silent Hill: Homecoming. Players assume the role of Alex Shepherd, a soldier recently discharged from a military hospital who returns to his home town only to find his brother and father missing, and his mother catatonic. The story takes players from Shepherd's deserted hometown, where citizens go missing every day and strange creatures have begun to roam the vacant streets, all the way to the notoriously fog-laden city of Silent Hill on a quest to save his loved ones.
As in previous games in the series, the streets and buildings of Silent Hill are filled with bizarre and aggressive creatures, but unlike the civilian protagonists in those games, Shepherd actually has military training and is thus quite handy with both firearms and close-quarters combat. The action is frequently interrupted by puzzles of varying difficulty that often require graphic-adventure-style exploration and discovery. Players are given a journal to help keep track of any written and visual clues they may encounter during these sojourns, a feature designed to help gamers make sense of Silent Hill's trademark transitions between the real world and its darker alternate dimensions. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“A textbook example of how NOT to make a Silent Hill game. The creatures that you face in the game have no relevance to the characters or situations. There is far too much focus on combat and not enough on the story, feeling, and atmosphere. With so much interaction with other characters there is no feeling of isolation or terror, and the characters themselves are bland and generally unlikable. I love the Silent Hill series and have tried countless times to like this game, but I put it away in disgust every time.”

“Die Silent Hill-Serie war und ist Survival-Horror asiatischer Prägung mit subtilen psychologischen Kniffen und einer reduzierten wie genialen Sounduntermalung. Silent Hill: Homecoming hingegen wurde eher nach streng westlicher Horrorvorstellung mit roher Gewaltdarstellung und plump inszenierten Jumpshocks realisiert.

Whether that's good or bad I'll never know. Leaning towards the latter though.”

If my little brother goes missing in Silent Hill... well I'd be a little more hesitant than going in after him alone. Kudos to Silent Hill: Homecoming which throws you in to the thick of it all on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
