but fingers crossed their review is reliable and representative of the game's overall quality. I really want Downpour to be excellent; there's just not enough survival-horror around anymore.

I never understood any of this review.

So I have read over the reviews that have been released so far and I'm glad to see most are enjoying it...but I am still skeptical. Silent HIll 2 and Shattered Memories are the best Silent HIll's with 3 closely behind, the rest not so much. I want this game to be good and a return to the roots like promised but outside of these reviews I have not heard any praise for this. Probably will buy it anyway. Dose anyone know if the story is ocult bull**** or an actual mind messing game like SH2?

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.

CrimsonWing69274d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26273d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
