Story: The player assumes the role of the protagonist, Alex Shepherd, a Special Forces soldier who returns home from an overseas tour of duty to find that his father and younger brother are missing, and that his mother has gone into catatonia. Alex begins to search for his brother, leading him to Silent Hill after searching his hometown of Shepherd's Glen. Shortly into the game the shit hits the fan and you fall into this world that'll give you big girl nightmares that will make you cry yourself to sleep. :)
Review: AWESOME GAME!!!!! The story was riveting from the moment you start and is full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing until the very last boss! Apparently they stopped production on this game so it was virtually impossible to find, but omg well worth it. It stands the test of time, truly. The game play is moderate to difficult depending on the setting, its extremely tight with little to no glitches. It's a third person RPG - guns and objective treasures are scattered through out the game, but basically you are task orientated. There isn't a lot of hey what's that over there and spend seven hours searching a warehouse, like in Fallout - kwim? The few puzzles are very challenging and unique, and most of the time you are trying not to get lurked by the baddies whilst trying to complete them, so that really ups the ante. You are definitely kept busy with the onslaught of varied skinless oozing monsters (and puppies) that seem to jump out at you at every turn and especially from dark dank places. The bosses are hard, and what you have to do to kill each is unique, and sometimes difficult to figure out, but that's what makes it fun.
Beware. This game is SCARY. I mean it. It is the scariest series I've ever played, and made me scream like a girl on more then one occasion. Yeah, Faceless Nurses. Hello?? It is DARK and creepy things run up on you and and and... its DARK.... its fraking scary dude, for reals.
The in play graphics are awesome, and the cut screen graphics were phenomenal! This game is well worth the time, you get a whole lot of game for your buck, and did i mention it is scary as hell!!! The only real negative was you get tired of chasing around that little brat all over gods green earth. I just wanted to shoot the kid in the leg to slow him down after the thousandth time we find him and he runs off into the dark. Little bastard deserved to be lost. LOL The biggest complaint in the gamer community was the lack of pyramid head - he shows up once, to scare the beejesus outta you, and he does, scare, the, beejesus, outta, you.... well me... but you don't fight him, he is just kinda walking around in the background... like he was an afterthought... I personally was glad to not have to fight him, but during the game play you don't KNOW you don't have to fight him, so until you finish that one chapter, you are DEF on edge...
Likes: The graphics, controls, story, scare factor
