The game was awesome... I am really into the Silent Hill series, I've played and beaten the first 4, and now being able to have a much better understanding from playing Origins, is amazing. It followed the movie a lot, which was nice because the movie was very well made and followed the story line from the games almost perfectly. ((The movie wasn't made for everybody, it was actually focused on people who've played the games before -- Unlike some other movie/game makers ((resident evil))))
But the only downside to the game was, it was a lot darker than the other Silent Hill games. I had to screw with the brightness and contrast on my TV for a good 30 minutes before even reaching the town. (( I like to at least see things when my flashlight is off))
The bosses were also fairly easy, when I can kill the first boss just by throwing a couple filing cabinets and typewriters, that doesn't say much for a possessed demon child creature thing.
Aside from a few set backs, the game was fun. It had it's intense scenes and parts of playtime that really made me have to turn the system off, turn the lights on, and actually take a break and step back into reality.
It took me approximately 13 hours to finish the game, it was spread out within a weeks time.
I'd say if you're into puzzle solving, wall to wall searches for med packs and ammo, and creepy cool RPG's, then get this. No real need to have played the other SILENT HILL games, but the ending is an eye opener for anybody who's played Silent Hill 3. :-)
8/10
