A member from the HELL DESCENT Forums, MR. Price, has scored the first official review of SILENT HILL: DOWNPOUR. Thanks to the latest issue of the official Australian Playstation Magazine to arrive in his mail box.
Here are scans he took of the pages below, you can read the review yourself.
TNS: “Nightmare fuel to say the least, check out the 10 most terrifying Silent Hill monsters, and what they symbolize.”
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.
Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.
Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.
silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.
for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.
7/10 isn't really good enough.

I totally agree. IMO, I don't think is easy to develop a SH game, especially if you're trying to surpass the predecessors.
no suprise for this score
How long till you realize that Silent Hill 2 is the peak for the series Konami?I gave up at SH4. They always say they are trying to make it like SH2 so people will buy it, but truth is they can't ever replicate that masterpiece =/
I'm gonna wait for more reviews
Silent Hill was never a graphics highlight, but gameplay, atmosphere and sound, sounds good ..
NOO.. guess ill get the collection instead
