Eerily beautiful - with little quirks

Silent Hill Homecoming is a console port - which is not to be overlooked. This brings one or two small hooks (.zB in controlling) with itself, making the title but not a bad game - certainly not for the fans of the horror series.

The graphics can convince fleets computers, sound and voice can be heard and the story is well thought out. The game has in each level an eerily beautiful atmosphere, and you will be surprised by how Story of opponents frequently or even by surprise. The battles with the latter are largely fair, the opponent at the end of every crack. The existing weapons selection and the amount of ammunition vorzufindenden as the remedies are well balanced.

The puzzles are not very sophisticated, but fit in well with the story and act in no way put on. One can thus focus primarily on the story, the atmosphere and the Action. The game is 18, which is justified, because it is here (in a good way) quite neatly to the point.

At the control you have to get used to a bit which could be more convenient, but anyone who has ever played a pure console port as Resident Evil 4 or an earlier Silent Hill part, knows what to expect and therefore will quickly master it.

What bothered me a little, were sometimes quite long walking distances, you have but often quite far back and forth, sees many locations more than once. The game is so artificially protracted without pulling it really profit. In addition, the game is quite linear structure, a little more space in each level sections would have been desirable.

Last but not least - I am no friend of Steam, the system must, however, in this case admit times that I found myself not really bothered by it.

So here is a round shooter with high creepiness and a typical range for the eerie atmosphere. The whole is fun and is definitely recommended Genre fans.
