"Maybe going home isn't always a good idea.."
The game gets a 6.7 out of 10.
To be honest, I am a bit disappointed, the game looks really good too. I'll just rent it! :D

Well The Room was a PoS... so... Bad news I guess.

Anyway, I'm still more hyped about AitD that about this one.

IGN has no arguments to criticize the game. It looks like they want to make the game looks bad, but they cant', this game is great. So fuuuuuck IGN i'm still gona buy this game. Here is a example of the stupidity of IGN:

"6.5 GAMEPLAY:
While the combat system is extremely flexible and gives Alex a lot of different attacks to launch, it makes him way too skilled to take on the monsters of Silent Hill."

The character in this game is supposed to be a soldier, is he not? Should we expect him to be useless like James?

Here another big mistake of IGN:

8.0 SOUND:

"The only bad thing about the sound is that it feels too good for the game".

Hah, that's the first time i've heard that. "the only bad thing about the sound is that it feels too good for the game"....

Damn, how they could be so stupid?

I'll take the majority over IGN...

UGO - A

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/silent_hill_homecoming_review_360_ps3_pc/

1UP - B

http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3170245&p=4

GameCinemaHD - 8.5

http://gamecinemahd.com/article/2008/09/26/silent_hillhomecoming_review



And here's something from Kotaku:

"Silent Hill: Homecoming will be seen as the test of this merger between two worlds. And while I'll leave the reviewing here to my Kotaku colleagues, I've spent hours upon hours over the last few days playing it for my Variety Magazine review, and I'll just say that in my opinion, it passes the test with flying colors. Yes, Silent Hill fans, you will be happy."

http://kotaku.com/5056008/does-survival-horror-really-exist

"Silent Hill: Homecoming is a very capable entry, maybe better than you were expecting, one that should please most fans of the series and anyone looking for a good scare layered with respectable storytelling."

I'm getting it. GS will probably give it a 5.5 in about 3 weeks.

play what you want. I don't always agree with reviews. I heavenly sword wasn't really that cool and mario galaxy way overrated. I thought shadow the hedgehog was good, but just dated and Lair was pretty fun once you got the hang of the levels.

I know but I do not know how they had the courage to do a review with poor arguments like those cited above.

My biggest potential issue is the horror. I love Silent Hill for the horror and the intense stories more then anything else. Sadly from waht i ahve seen im nto sure if the horror is really there. We will see once i get my hands on it but i have my doubts about the game,.

Well, as long as there's people... stupidity will prevail.

Well I was really figuring closer to a 7.5 or 8.0

But unless they're saying that he is way too skilled may mean the game has no challenge at all? if thats not the case then yeah I agree with you
