Silent Hill Origins - PSP Game (Retro Fam)

Or at least that's what you'll think when playing, the PS2 version at least. I won't tell you the story because that's been said. The controls and camera angles are what you'd expect from a Silent Hill game and if you've never played one before I'd suggest starting with 2 or 3 ( or the original I guess, if you've got a PS1 lying around.) The graphics are pretty bad most of the time. The video scenes in the very begining and end of the game show how good they could be, but the developers either couldn't fit that good of graphics throught all the scenes or were just lazy.The music is as good as always and Akira Yamaoka is truly a master at capturing the essence of Silent Hill in his music.I found the story to be pretty linear considering how good SH2's story was, and the game was short. The Butcher came off as a cheap immitation of Pyramid Head of SH2. He was more violent than scary and was only given two instances of screen time. He doesn't come off as a big deal in the grander scheme of things. And although Origins had a few fairly memorable scenes, they seemed to not linger around long enough to make an impact.But it seems like I'm complaining a lot which is weird because I really DID enjoy the game. I would say number 2 and 3 are better, but this one isn't bad. It held true to the Silent Hill formula while still adding a few elements (portals to the Otherworld; breakable weapons) and I liked the changes in the firearms used.The rifle shoots much more quickly than.

Amazing game!! I’ve played most of the silent hill games so I had to get origins to complete my collection. Game came in near perfect condition! Would definitely buy from these shops again

this game is great and is a terrific addition to the series. the whole concept of having an alternate mirror world is pretty awesome for the game and makes it more challenging (in the good way). i received the game on time through the mail and box and the disc were in almost mint condition. i was very impressed with this shop as well as the game itself is really really good. totally recommend it!!!
