Silent Hill 5 – Homecoming ( PS3 Review)

admin November 15, 2012 14

An excellent review for an excellent game. The new and outstanding Silent Hill for the new generations is a beautiful delight for all fans. ______________________ Here’s a summary: Graphics: 8.5 / Gameplay: 8.0 / Sound:9.0 / Soundtrack: 10.0 / Fear-scare factor: 9.0 / Story: 9.5 / Fun Factor: 9.0 / Replay Value: 9.0/ Overall score: 9.0 _______________________________________ Pros&Contras: +++Pros: + Shadows effects can really scare you. + Combo attacks. + Fatalities + Great environments, like the cemetery and the pier. + Gray colors make everything more real and creepy. + Whispers, voices, screams…Is it in the game… or outside of your street? + Story + The most frightening and disgusting creatures of all Silent Hill. + Great Artificial Intelligence. + Loading screen gives you tips and information to combat and weaknesses of enemies. —Contras: – Puzzles are easy and unintersting, except the last one in Lair stage. I’d like to see a criative puzzle, like in Silent Hill 1 – Piano Puzzle at School. – Non interaction with items. You can’t zoom in/out or even combine them. This could help into more intersting puzzles. – Some bugs (its rare, but happened to me – see my SH5 bug video). – After a while (1-2 minutes) the bodies of dead enemies disappear. I would love to see them rotting. – The game is too dark. – Terrible “hair effect”. Seems like everybody passed glue in their hair. Resident Evil Code Veronica had best hair movements. Remember the ponytail of Claire? – Lack

    @Speekies: Totally agree. By far the best graphics, best combat system, best bosses, best creatures designs, the most gory Silent Hill game and the new and great “fatalities” are fucking awesome. Sticking a pipe through a dog’s eyes or stabbing those motherfuckers nurses are simply amazing. , aside the (always) amazing story and soundtrack, as well the sound effects. So sad the puzzles sucks, it’s short and very linear. Actually only 1st Silent Hill really allowed us to explore the city.
