Silent Hill Downpour
Murphy Pendleton has been incarcerated for several years, having had his sentence extended once already. Due to his history at Ryall State Prison, he is being transferred to nearby Wayside Maximum Security Penitentiary - but a freak accident cuts the journey short. Waking up in a forest next to the wrecked bus, Murphy has a clear shot at freedom. He makes his way into the sleepy town of Silent Hill where mysterious locals welcome him into a slowly developing personal hell. Silent Hill Downpour is the latest Silent Hill game offering the familiar Survival Horror gameplay delivered in the most defined visual quality to date. The game also expands on the exploration theme of the franchise both design-wise and through psychological torture, ambient story, horrific enemies and self-evaluative questions of despair.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
I have to admit I started to worry about this game shortly before its release. After years of titles in the series that... well, weren't up to the standards set by the originals, I was worried that this game would have many of the same problems. Thankfully, I can say my doubts were gone within a few hours of this game.
This game uses some of the characteristics used in the old SH classics, but adds a more modern touch to gameplay. The creepy atmosphere is still there, but there's less emphasis on fog and instead uses rain. Many fans were upset about this change, but I think it worked very well. The game is still scary and has some very creepy enviroments. The monsters, however, are less than impressive. They look TOO human, unlike the distorted and horrifying monsters from the older games.
The gameplay is a definite improvement over Homecoming, but it is still far from perfect. Sometimes is just seems like Murphy is swinging his weapon around like an idiot, flying in whatever direction he wants. But it's better than most of the series. Unlike Homecoming, you won't have to focus as much of fighting anyway, much like the older titles. So this isn't that big a deal.
The characters themselves are great. Murphy is a great protagonist. He's likeable, believable, and even a bit relatable. The supporting characters are great too. My only complaint here is that there are a couple of characters that lack explanation. Who are they? Where did they come from? How are they here? Do they even exist? We can't be sure.
Overall, Downpour is a good game with a nice story and scary atmosphere that really brings back some fond memories of the classic games. It's not AS good as the oldies, but it's certainly the best I've seen in a while.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
So glad I picked up this title. Once my character got away from the Devil's Pit, where the game begins, and into the town of Silent Hill, I was so amazed by the game. There is a very big map to explore and the player can enter many of the buildings.
Your character will be given hints of where to go in the main story through cutscenes. The scenes are interesting, as well as the character's background story. But to get the most out of this game, explore around and find side quests.
I've played every Silent on the PS1, PS2 and PS3 consoles. This is definately a good one. Players who give this game a bad review and compare it to SH2 and SH3 are being unreasonable and might simply remember their first SH playing experience when they were younger and trying to recapture that original thrill. If Downpour had been the first SH they had played, they may have felt differently about this game.
The play and story for every Silent Hill should be different because every character that enters the town has their own personal issues and their own personal demons. The creators for this game did very well with this. The monsters, the creepy areas and even the rain all tie into the main character's story. And like the movie "Jacob's Ladder", the main character is on a quest to discover what is wrong with SH and the things he is seeing.
There are a few buggy things about the game, such as some slowdown of gameplay when lots of textures load and camera angles can sometimes be frustrating, but these issues never ruined my enjoyement of the game.

Silent hill has always kept things fresh bringing in new characters and gameplay that players excpect from games this generation. I have to say the game is pretty cool you can go in any door not like old silent hill games,more of a free roam experience that adds more replayability like multiple endings based on your choice that other games ditched on along time ago. If you are into horror games buy Silent Hill Downpour if you are into action look at resident evil. psn thekingspartan

I have followed the Silent Hill saga since it begun. I was VERY disappointed in this game.
1. The monsters are all the same!!! and not scary at all!
2. Not many surprises, after fighting thru some lame puzzle...u get junk!
3. You spend way to much time trying to find the things u need.
4. Too many artifacts to find, leads you trailing off the game into the world of finding 300 different things, and that's just one side trip you have to make.
5. Not much interaction with other lost people in Silent Hill.
6. I'm just really disappointed in a game I waited so very long for, play Silent Hill 2 & 3, yes the graphics are not as good, but it takes you thru h*** like it should!! Both are now out on Xbox 360 on a duo disk!!!

This is a great buy for fans of the franchise. You'll have to run a little bit in this one, making this a true survival horror game. Outside of the camera situation, the only thing that needed improvement were the variety of enemies you face. All in all though, this one is worth your money.

Everybody who knows silent hill knows what to expect in a silent hill game. This game delivers creepy atmosphere, struggle to survive in this crazy town, an odd but satisfying story with multiple endings, staying true to a silent hill nature of game-play with fog and rain to hide enemies, and this game adds new items to the series such as new monsters/new ways to fight them. Overall Silent Hill Downpour is a crazy train ride you wouldn't want to miss with nice visuals and graphics combine with its game-play make it a good horror and console game. Enjoy!

Reason why Otherworld is different
Posted 10/7/12
the "otherworld" is different because if you notice in other silent hill games, the otherworld is different because of the characters lives and how they live. In silent hill 2 the other world is depressing and less disturbing and in silent hill 3 its a little more disturbing and in silent hill 4 its even more disturbing and in origins its like h3ll but worse and in silent hill downpour its mostly clockwork because of how the main character is awaiting the time to get out of silent hill and or "prison" sao there you have it!

Awesome review, I agree with you nearly 100%. I posted a review as well but wasn't nearly as nice as you.. I'm glad someone out there agrees with me, this game did nothing for the series. I don't think anyone who liked this game could have ever seriously played a REAL Silent Hill game. What did you love more getting stuck on door knobs or the balance beams?

Are you serious right now? That's the worst review I've ever read in my life. The game is sick, play it in the dark by yourself late @ night instead of in your division 2 c class college dorm room w/4 people in the room talking about we need more flaming hot cheetoes and ramen w/all the lights on @ 2 in the afternoon.
