Silent Hill: Downpour for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I saw that this game had some really bad reviews but as a fan of the series I felt I still needed to check it out. First thing to mention is that the combat is horrible. However, this game tries hard to make the player avoid conflict so the bad combat isn't too much of an issue as long as you're not blood thirsty and fight everything you see. There's some great scare moments and the atmosphere is great. I would say this probably had the 2nd best story in the series next to Silent Hill 2. If you're a fan of the series (love the setting, puzzles, scares, and weird stories) rent it for sure, if not then I wouldn't bother with it (go play resident evil or any number of horror games with better controls/combat).
