Youll Laugh, Youll Cry, Youll Scream and run from your tellivision set over and over only to come back for more. The Puppet that comes to life to strangle you to death only a comforting initiation into what kind of sick twisted Hell silent hill really is. Its Grabs the Deepest fears inside of the human Psyche and brings them onto a PS2 disc, being in the sanitarium was probably the worst. The Screams of the Remnants echoing off the walls as the static on your radio gets Louder, WHAT WAS THAT!? You think you saw something "floating" in the corner? As you shine your light over You see a shadow of a Human, But yet no Body!!!
I always hated Disembodied Shadows myself, and the sounds they let out are horrifying. The Nurses, Well, not totally scary. Sure they got knives and needles, But they are not totally frightening unless your surrounded by 2 or more. Its the Remnants and the Ariels(Puppets) i fear the most along with dark corridors and constantly being afraid. If it werent for the Protagonist looking so Bad@$$ like a lone warrior or Lone wolf or something, i wouldnt be able to play it. I havent played any other silent hill games so i cant say i can compare, but i thought i should start with Origins since it was the Prequel to the very first.
Im a Resident evil kinda guy, but silent hill just dominated!
Music, composed by the famed Akira Yamaoka, is a huge part of the game, as always. Another masterfully done soundtrack that is the voice of what Silent Hill truly is.
Graphics are upgraded from the original PSP version, making it fit right at home on the PS2. There are some minor glitches. Music may randomly stop in one area, and start up again in another. This really had no effect on my experience, though.
Story is deep and mysterious, as Silent Hill has always been.
Overall, this is not the best in the series, but it is still worth playing.
I am proud to say I own every Silent Hill game in existence now!
(Except for Book of Memories. That game is just an insult to what Silent Hill is supposed to be)
Puzzles and environmental obstacles have always been a part of Silent Hill design. These puzzles aren't always good, and it seems that Silent Hill Origins takes all of the most irritating and time consuming elements of the previous games and collects them into one disappointing package.
Actually, this moment sums up Silent Hill Origins to me: There's a key in a bathtub. For whatever reason, the water in the tub is so hot that our character refuses to put his hand in the water to get the key. The only option the game gives you is to pull the stopper and drain all the water knowing that the key will wash down the drain. I have a 3 or 4 foot long 2x4 in my inventory, but I can't use the 2x4 to fish the key out. I have a sledgehammer, but I can't bust the side of the tub and let the water drain out. I can't even stand there and let the water cool on it's own (because apparently this is super demon hell water that never cools down). So, I pull the plug and Travis (our main character) watches the key run down the drain. Travis is carrying all of these weapons, but it doesn't occur to him to use any of them to keep the key from going down the drain. That's really my problem with the game...apparently Travis is a total moron, and the game designers use Travis' idiocy to artifially lengthen the game. It's irritating...but more importantly, it isn't fun.
And, isn't fun the reason we play games?
