  • Abstract:  Overall, Silent Hill: Homecoming is top notch in the graphics department. Granted you do not get Metal Gear Solid 4 or Gears of War-like detailed visuals however it does a wonderful job at creating a dark, disturbing, and creepy atmosphere. I found mys...

  • Intensely atmospheric visuals; excellent plot with trademark surprises; multiple endings.
  • Flawed, sludgy combat system; boring and trite during the first few hours; easy early puzzles.
  • The Silent Hill series has long been known as a terrifying yet quirky franchise, and its also always been created by Japanese developers. Consequently, trepidation among the fans in regards to Silent Hill: Homecomings new Western development team is ...

  • Abstract:  Oh how I’ve missed you faceless zombie nurse, choking fog, and thing that goes “bump” in the night--its been too long since I’ve dug into a decent Silent Hill-style survival horror romp (meaning one that favors atmosphere over ass-kicking.) Sony’s re...

  • Excellent sense of atmosphere; ghastly monster designs; helpful mapping system.
  • Weak combat system; predictable story; simpleminded puzzles; infrequent save points. Some of the foes you'll face are truly monstrous. Unfortunately, fighting them isn't as satisfying as it looks As you slice into opponents, you'll see their c...

  • Abstract:  Ever since my first encounter with Silent Hill 2, something about this survival-horror franchise really got to me. Not that running from zombies wasn't terrifying when I played the original Resident Evil -- it's just that Silent Hill's themes of sin, p...

  • Excellent sense of atmosphere, ghastly monster designs, helpful mapping system
  • Weak combat system, predictable story, simple-minded puzzles, infrequent save points
  • It could have been a fantastic survival horror game, but Homecoming is hampered by lacklustre gameplay and a linear story. ...

  Published: 2009-05-01, review by: stuff.co.nz

  • Abstract:  So once again we find ourselves in Silent Hill, a nightmare of a town we are compelled to return to, a town full of creatures crafted in a fit of psychosis, a town full of puzzles, and, most vitally, a town rooted deeply in the nostalgic part of every ...

  • Abstract:  Då är jag där igen. I den där dimmiga staden som gud glömde. Jag är tillbaka i Silent Hill.Som undertiteln Homecoming antyder så känns spelet som att komma hem igen efter en lång tids resa. Den amerikanska spelstudion Double Helix har följt Team Silen...
