Many of you may then scroll back up and skim through the review, probably reading the first and last couple of paragraphs to get an overall picture of what we thought. So while we have your attention, let us say that while the score we have given is fairly low, Silent Hill: Homecoming is not a bad game. Viewed on its own, it's quite a competent survival-horror romp that has some fun moments. In fact, if you've never played a Silent Hill game before you can probably add a point to the total. However, for fans of the series, Homecoming doesn't do enough to reinvent itself like Resident Evil, nor does it keep enough the same to capture the dread and heart-pumping atmosphere that made the franchise famous."
