[QUOTE="njean777"]I thought the game was fun i would have given it a 8.0. The combat was a little iffy. The story was pretty good. The graphics were nice. I am losing faith in GS reviews lately i usually use 1 up now if i even look at the reviews for a game. It took GS two weeks to give this game a review that is lame IMO.njean777

I don't feel that way, i think the score is a good one for such a product. Honestly, you could rename the game to something else and feel as if it had nothing to do with Silent hill, it feels that off to me. The over the shoulder camera was so NOT needed, it cut the tension in half, the dogding, move sets felt less like a silent hill game. When i think SH i think of a person whos lost confused and doesn't know how to properly deal with whats going on..but with SH5 your a marine, it defeats the purpose. Go figure, an american dev team using a marine...lol. The game could have been so much more.

Well it was my first SH game so im looking at it from that perspective. I looked at your sig and you have RE in it now thats a series that has went far off from what it use to be to. I mean its not even scary anymore and there is basically no survival horror in the games anymore. But i agree RE5 looks crazy good. Survival horror is a genre that is going away slowly SIren and Dead Space and Silent Hill have basically stayed true to the genre IMO. SH:HC was hard even though you had good combat skills you would still walk around with half health most of the game and the tension was still there i cant tell you how many times i just ran away in that game.

First of all, RE was NEVER EVER scary. The new change seen in 4 was a MUCH needed change, the original formula is dated and broken, now. RE4 also had more horrific enemies, MORE so than the classic ones. If any change was for the better its RE4, the review scores and awards won show this. That being said, RE4 was amazing in every aspect NOT just the gameplay change, the story, characters, graphics everything was top notch...SH5, IMO..failed in every aspect. SH3 Still looks amazing till this day and hell, you can every compared the 2 and the difference isn't even that huge.

I would've let the gameplay slide in SH5, if the story was deep and as big as the classic ones, but it isn't. its a cheap shallow version, IMO. It didn't have heart, that fear all SH games had before Origins is GONE. both Orgins and SH5 were made by another team (american) and both sucked, go figure.

its cool for the new comers to like it, i expected as much, but if you've played and loved the originals, you wouldn't be giving much praise to 5, atleast not the majority of fans.

I love the fact that most of you are jumping on the game when you quite obviously haven't played it >_>, but then again, this is SW

I loved it TBH. As a Silent Hill fan I would give it a 9.0 and as a gamer I'd give it an 8.0. I thought Double Helix did a great job.

Silent-Hal

how would you know? FYI, I've beaten it

and shouldn't it be the other way round, Gamer = MORE...SH fan = Less? considering its poor compared to SH2/3. IMO.

Nope, score seems about right, the physcological thriller that made Silent hill so popular is gone, thanks to another silly american team screwing it up, buy actionizing it with the silliest story.

Its like they thought this:

"lets just look what the other great sh titles did, add the best parts, OH yeah the iconic period head, just throw that in there and the weird little kids with bunny rabits and crayon drawings, that should be about it and keep them fooled"

Team silent need to come back and do SH.

Fair enough, your opinion...i'm not going be a typical poster and try and shoot it down (impossible) , to each there own.

LOL that made me laugh.

anything below a 9.0 and within the 8 range is a flop?

Stick on the right side (there is a perfect space for another one), its dam well needed...can't believe they didn't add it in the first place, knowing there consoles have them. Guess Sony are suckers when it comes to good design. Hardware-wise.

Cell/Dual Shock....gsus!
