    A regretable waste of time and money.

    I've already wasted enough time on this game so I'm not going to waste any more by getting into a big review about it.

    My complaints come down to these issues:

    The engine has a lot of bugs, missing, cutoff and misplaced sounds, glitchy and inconsistent gameplay and a very broken combat system.

    The American developers of this version didn't hold true to the original idea and now it seems to just be a conveyor belt of horror cliches. It does not deserve the Silent Hill name.

    Save points are few and far between. This is the last time I've played 1-2 hours without a savepoint to have another broken combat encounter throw me back and lose 2 hours of progress.

    This game will certainly guarantee frustration and I highly recommend skipping it. If you want to be scared, play Dead Space or replay one of the other Silent Hill games.

    Do not buy Silent Hill Homecoming. It is a bad game, and a terrible PC port. It is a waste of $50.

Feelings that make you honestly afraid to explore farther then what you thought was necessary to get past an area. This entry has successfully done the same. I have played all of the Silent Hill games except the PSP title, Origins, and the only one among those that I haven’t beaten was Silent Hill 4: The Room. And I watched half of the movie befo...

       The survival/horror genre has came a long way since Edward Carnaby made his first steps in Alone in the Dark. Nowadays Japanese developers are dominating in this genre, Capcom with their zombie-shooter Resident Evil and Konami with Silent Hill series. It was a big surprise when two years ago Konami announced that a American developer is going to work on next game and not their own Team Silent. Double Helix has been given an opportunity to show what they can. Never heard of Double Helix? They ...
