OPM: At first I was afraid. I was petrified. Then I realised that sadly most of the fear came from the deep-seated dread built up during the glory days of Silent Hill. This doesn’t mean that escaped prisoner Murphy Pendleton’s jaunt into the mist is entirely without merit, but Downpour is a flawed and disappointing experience. New developer for the series, Vatra, is clearly passionate about Silent Hill, which is both a blessing and a curse as it surrounds an updated engine with a series of old game mechanics long past their sell-by date.

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.
I agree with this review. The game is not that great. I'm a big fan of the series and this one doesn't feel like silent hill at all. It's got the sound fx, the fog, the rusty, rotten look to it but it still doesn't feel 1005 like a Silent Hill game.
i do not agree at all, i would give this game 8/10
this game is amazing its so fucking good..
i don't know why they are bashing this game i hate when games like COD gets a 9 and this amazing game gets 6s and 7s sigh..
