Is it worth buying a copy of SHO?

Post by **keepness** » 18 Apr 2008

i have to say that this game is sooooooooo worth it, and like every one else is saying, the room ain't got shit on origins!

other then that, if you don't have a psp, go for the gusto and buy it it for ps2, but i highly recommend that it should be played on psp. mostly for the fact that it is at least 100x's scarier if you play in the dark with headphones on blasted!

Well I got some good news for everyone. I finally tracked a copy down. Some of the place I went to didn't have left or didn't even carr it. I started playing it and I have to say that I like it, I only up to the part just after the Asylem.

I got the game for the PS2 I heard that it wasn't developed by Team Silent and the only person on board was the sound director(sorry forgot his name at the moment.) I wasn't expecting much however I am enjoying every bit of it and the locations you go to creep me out like they should.

I am also stuck on the Sanatorium and it doesn't help that the map of that place reminds me of Waverly Hills a renown TB hospital that is the first thing I thought of when I found out there was a "TB Ward" on one of the floors.

The weapons breaking on you just further enforces the idea to me that you are Travis, a redneck trucker that is up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Yes you can fight monsters with your fists they are your only reliable weapon, however enemies are harder then hell to take down that way and it is even worse when they all try to gang up on you at once!

I say this game is worth a buy if you don't want to get the PSP version you can always get the PS2 one and it is the same price $30.00.

If you haven't bought it already, you really should. There are many obvious reasons why you should buy this game, but you should probably want this game to understand the plot and loopholes that Silent Hill has, and to keep up with us Silent Hill Fans

I was expecting this game to be a half-assed addon to the series, but itâ€™s a full-fledged installment with the best combat system to date, and with plot and environments rivaling any of the other games, if not excelling. It might be my favorite game in the series now.

So ya, it's worth it.

^ I have to say it my second favorite, next to SH2.

Does anyone think that it might be better than SH4?

Yeah, but that's not saying much.

However, without the combat system in SH4, the one in SH0 would never have evolved. Therefore, SH4 was good for something after all!

Yes, It's great!

No.

But then again, I'm fast turning into one of those "games are art" nerds who can overlook bad gameplay elements in favor of a gripping plot and/or atmosphere. I can also praise developers for trying something new instead of rehashing old memes and formats.

Still, Origins is a decent enough game, although I was left feeling like it was a decent fanfic turned into a game. I'd recommend it to Silent Hill fans.

I actually liked it better then the third and forth games but that's just me. Not that I didn't like those games It's just that I really liked the feel of Origins. It reminded me of when I played the first one.
