I got less than a third of the way through this game before I shelved it. The quicktime event-based fighting was much too flashy for what is supposedly a horror game. As with Origins, the game is far more about combat than atmosphere, far more about killing monsters than being afraid of them. <\/p>\n
The plot hooked me. Alex is a much more compelling I made it as far as the hotel before I died in a fight with three nurses…. <\/p>\n But in the end, it was the sabotaged camera system<\/a> that drove me away. I’d been playing for hours with their non-invertible camera, and my thumb was now completely confused as to which way I should move to look up. I started playing Prince of Persia, and realized that even though I could set the controls to work the way I wanted, Silent Hill had scrambled my muscle memory so that it was more or less random which way I would move the stick vertically. That is, Silent Hill Homecome wasn’t just a game I didn’t like, it was so bad it diminished my enjoyment of all other games<\/em>. That’s quite an accomplishment. <\/p>\n A few hours with the Prince straightened me back out, and I don’t dare go back to Silent Hill Homecoming now. <\/p>\n Imagine if they wanted to make a sequel to The Sixth Sense, and they gave the movie to Michael Bay<\/a>. That is Silent Hill Homecoming. <\/p>\nantagonist<\/del> protagonist<\/em> than Travis Grady, and I would have been glad to find out what he had stuck in his mental craw. But the game itself wasn’t any fun to play. <\/p>\n\n
