All the more disappointing that, with all this horror ancestry behind it, Silent Hill: Homecoming rarely does any of these things, and it is half-arsed and arbitrary when it does. The environments at first seem to convincingly capture the atmospheric and claustrophobic mood that you expect from this franchise, but the illusion is almost immediately exposed by the obvious linear nature of the game. Yo'u are thus left with the aneurism-inducing task of trying every door to figure out which predetermined path you're supposed to be following.
In terms of combat, the clunky system of the previous games, which limited your capacity for fighting, was an endearing weakness that genuinely added to the sense of desperation and helplessness. This has been somewhat lost in Homecoming with the inclusion of a dodge button making a lot of the encounters with skinless dogs and spasmodic faceless nurses a little too easy and formulaic. It is rare that you have a surplus of any items at any time.
If you do find yourself with extra anything, you can rest assured it will be used soon. Along these same lines, the weapons were all very realistic and believable. You spend the first half of the game with a knife, pistol and piece of lead pipe. This is all you have to protect your ass with. This was just another element that kept the game entertaining.
Finally, the story keeps the game moving. I found myself getting sucked in and unable to turn the game off just because I could not wait to see what was coming next.
Just when you think things could not possibly get more bizarre, they do. Just when you think things cannot get any more intense, they do. The whole atmosphere and story really reminded me of the movie Hellraiser. I just did not know what was going to happen next and I was constantly feeling like things could just not get any weirder. The final item that needs mentioning about the game is that it contains a lot of puzzles, but I cannot really call this good or bad.
Some of the puzzles were just plain simple; others took a little thinking and still others were impossible. There was one puzzle that forced me to look at a strategy guide I hate cheating. Even after I read the solution and looked over the clues, I still do not understand how they came to the solution they did.
That was pretty frustrating. Conversely, there were puzzles I solved that I did not even have to think about. I just solved them by accident. There were some puzzles that were middle-of-the-road. I may be missing the obvious on the one puzzle, but I still think you should be warned. I was a little let down by the overall look of the game.
The graphics were extremely pixelated and grainy. They were not so bad that I was unable to tell what objects were, but they were still below the standards of today's PSX games. There were quite a few items that blended in with the background that would have added to the overall creepy environment if they were more obvious.
As it was, I really had to strain to see them. If I did not look closely, I migght not have seen them at all. They did do a good job of ussing environmental fog to set the mood. The music in this game is absolutely incredible. I have never heard mood music that fit a game quite as well as this. Normally I do not even comment on the music, but it was such an important part of the overall environment of the game. I think that it was the music that gave me the shivers more than the game itself.
Silent Hill may not be the fastest-paced game in the world, but it is sure an addicting one. You will find yourself getting sucked into solving the mystery of your missing daughter as well as the mystery of the town.
The developers should be commended on their great use of music to enhance the game. Aside from the grainy graphics, imprecise controls and somewhat strange puzzles, this game is pure horror fun. If imitation is the si ncerest form of flattery, the developers of Resident Evil should be blushing after playing Konamis Silent Hill. But, hell, with so much time between new RE games, someone has to take up the gaming slack, right?
And Silent Hill's bloody adventure is that game. In Silent Hill, you've crashed your car and lost your daughter in a mysterious, deserted town infested with strange monsters. Playing as Harry Mason, you'll comb the streets and pick up clues to her whereabouts.
The well-designed quest is difficult but intuitive, resulting in a challenging but gripping adventure. The developers attempt to compensate with thick fog, pitch darkness, or weak lighting--but five feet of visibility just isn't enough.
Fortunately, tight camera control lets you peek around corners or study a room from Harry's point of view, while SH's blood-filled battles and disgusting cadavers strewn everywhere set the mood stylishly--and will definitely freak you out. The screen display, however, is flat-lined: You have to access a menu to check your health bar, which can cost you your life if you aren't paying attention.
Otherwise, you'll have a blast mowing down zombies with everything from a knife to a shotgun. SHs voice acting doesn't approach RE's depth of craptitude, although each spoken line is separated by a strange dramatic pause that effectively undermines the tension and drama. Luckily, the conversations are fairly sparse.
What's cool are the sound effects like the spine-curdling radio static that warns of incoming monsters and the heavy tread of your boots as you run for your life down a hall. SHs scares are everywhere. The tension is high throughout the game and gets creepier as you delve deeper and face winged beasts, bald freaks, and devil dogs.
The gothic story line and intuitive puzzles are also compelling, which makes SH a nice bridge for RE fens waiting for their next fix. Just a few flaws short of a masterpiece, Silent Hill is definitely worth a look from horror and adventure fens. You make the call. Luckily, the graphics score big with a high gore factor while the creepy environments set just the right mood for this gothic horror adventure.

I used to play it as a new game in I remember that times. Now, after this refreshing of my memory I feel a little old, but anyway, the game works perfectly! No problem at all.
Run as administrator, ticked "run compatible with Windows XP" This is my first game downloaded from this website and it brings me back to old times with great memories! Thank you! I used the Silent Hill subreddit to get this going. It needs approximately another 4GB of upgraded packages by the "SH enhanced edition", but it is fun and looks great i think! Here is a link, hope this is allowed. JamesTab 1 point. Doesn't work. Says "Error extracting files: Catastrophic failure.
Cloud 1 point. DOOM guy -4 points. The game installed fine I didnt need any additional software. So why are so many people saying you need third party software? Malware maybe? I can't get it to install at all, every time I try, it will direct me to put it on a disc which I don't have at all what should I do? Trevor 0 point. Hello guys I have a quick fix on this.
FunkyMonkey 0 point. So I keep getting the the end of set up and it says please insert disk one at the end i select disk one, and it crashes :. JJ 4 points. What gives? JJ -3 points. When I right click the CDs 2 and 3, it says that the disc image files are corrupted. I'm having trouble installing the game as a result of this. I was able to play SH3 from this same website, but I forgot how I managed to do when I ran into the same exact issues, lol.
Is there a way out of this? Vini 2 points. I had the same problem some people have mentioned with the "unable to save game" message. You can solve it this way: - open the game directory, then right-click on the sh2pc.
There you have it! The game runsfine had no problem installing but you need to download the enhanced edition mod to get the game running on windows Bluebird 3 points.
Just in case anybody who sees this doesn't know about it, make sure you install the SH2 Enhanced Edition mods with this. It's slightly time-consuming but easy to set up, and significantly improves the PC version of the game in a million ways.
Mojo Pin 4 points. Posting what I did so maybe I can help some of you. None of them worked. My game was still crashing when I tried to open a door. Somehow I learnt that there was supposed to be a cutscene there, and my game couldn't play it. I checked the game files, and the "movies" folder was lacking most of the.
There was only credits. So I took a look at the. And it now works perfectly. TL;DR: Your game files might be lacking the cutscenes or movies, whatever they're called , find them. Note: I have the Enchanced Edition installed, I don't know if it has something to do with this problem though. Ham Slammo 0 point. I am also having an issue with saving.
Whenever I try to save on the first save point it says 'Game Save Damaged' and tells me to delete it, which I keep doing - but there isn't actually a way to save. Kind of pointless to go through all this just to find that I can't save. This is an emotionally-draining, hour game that I am absolutely not going to play all in one sitting; can anybody help?
I found sh2pc on the crack file and copied it but I still don't know where to find the game directory and Local Disk in the files? I'm having the insert CD 1 problem but when I found the crack folder in the game files nothing was there, i copied it anyways but I don't know where to find the game directory, can anyone help me?
KD 2 points. Just to let you guys know I encountered an unable to save game problem this might also happen to others. Is there a tutorial video on how to install this? I'm really unfamiliar with this process and am having a really difficult time. Kachigga 12 points. Okay, for those of you struggling with the Insert Disc 1 issue after installing the game, I have found the solution!
