    bri's Silent Hill (PS)

    [September 30, 2003 10:01:47 PM]
    I watched Silent Hill 2 the other day and was amazed at how well they played on player expectations from other horror forms (movies, books, etc.). Since I don't have an Xbox of my own, (yes, I know, I could pick up the PS2 version, but the XBox one's prettier) and since I saw a lonely copy of the original at EB, I picked it up to give it a whirl. In some respects, I think SH2 makes better use of suspense and has creepier monster designs. (Monsters based on inanimate objects or vaguely humanoid things, rather than SH's more Parasite Eve style pterodactyl and caninoid beasts.) But I'm still only a few hours into the game, so I expect things will get significantly spookier.

    Opinion
    bri's opinion and rating for this game

    Seeing the success of Capcom's Resident Evil series, Konami sought to put together an alternative approach to videogame horror. Enter the psychological horror game Silent Hill.

    Silent Hill makes heavy use of sound to tell the player about the gameworld. For whatever reason, the beasties of Silent Hill cause radio interference, which can be picked up by a radio that the protagonist carries about. When baddies are near, the radio starts to whine, telling the player to be on guard.
