Silent Hill HD Collection

I first discovered Silent Hill one day when I was on YouTube and somehow stumbled upon a few songs from the Soundtrack, I can't remember if it was "Tears of Pain..." or "Never Forgive Me, Never Forget Me", but I suppose it doesn't matter now. Anyways, the first game I played was "Silent Hill: Downpour", which I suppose wasn't a letdown, but also wasn't that good, it was just so-so. So when I found out that there was an HD Collection containing Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, I knew I had to buy it. I don't currently own a Play Station (any of the models) although I did have one awhile back, but that is long gone, so getting the HD Collection for the Xbox 360 seemed way more budget friendly than investing in a new system, and games.I know a lot of people complain about the game being glitchy, and buggy but I've owned this game for almost two years now, and I have not experienced any of the problems that other people in the reviews and comments have faced.I admit that reading some of the comments made me nervous to buy the game, but I still bought it, and decided that if it was buggy or glitchy, I would cut my losses and just toss the game. But I have never heard any audio problems, or seen the game glitch in any way where I am seeing unfinished landscapes or backgrounds, and neither have I experienced the voice audios being off from the games graphics. The resolution is perfect for my TV, and does not look pixilated, blurry, or distorted. I'm actually wondering if many of the bad reviews left on the game are from Die-Hard original fans, who refuse to give the HD collection a chance, however, just because I haven't had a bad experience with this game yet, doesn't mean maybe someone else didn't.I read one review where the person stated that you cannot choose from the new voice recordings or the old ones, and that is false, well at least half-false. In Silent Hill 2 you can choose from the original voice actors or the new voice actors. I've only ever played it with the original voice actors, so that it adds to the effect. However, in Silent Hill 3, it does not give you the option to pick, and only has the new voice actors.As for the actual game play, I love it. It takes awhile to get used to the controls for the game, but when you have them down, it's a breeze. I find that the puzzles in the games are fun to solve, and at times a bit challenging which just adds to the game for me. The monsters are quite creepy, and at times, downright grotesque. All of this weaved together with the storylines creates an ambient game unlike any other. The characters, along with their struggles and story, soon become unforgettable.Just please be assured, this game is bloody, gory, and definitely NOT FOR KIDS!!!

If you loved the Silent Hill series or are a huge fan of the classic survival horror games, you're going to love the Silent Hill remakes. The crisp graphics make the town come alive better than ever. Silent Hill 2 is one of (if not the) best game in the series and it's great that it has been treated so well in this remake. The rerecorded dialogue also makes the games more engrossing and fun, it's great that Konami took the time to do that.I wouldn't say there are any true cons but more of a barrier to entry for gamers new to the series - and that would be the controls. If you haven't played the original Resident Evil (or Silent Hill) games you're going to be in for a bit of a shock when you play these. It's the classic tank controls where you spin then move. It was always kind of weird but when that's all there was, well, you dealt with it. Luckily they've included an option where the character will move in the direction the control is pointed. I highly suggest this if you're not going to go for the true classic feel.Also, Silent Hill 2 includes the original dialogue as well, so you can really see the work that Konami has put into the game. I've always been a huge Silent Hill fan and the oppressive fog of the game plays off the great new textures very well. Two great games for this price? Give it a shot!

As a Silent Hill fan and avid Xbox 360 gamer I have a few important notes to make. First off, I expected the game to be remastered, better graphics and controls. When I got the game, I was surprised to see that it was the exact same thing I once played on playstation 2 ten years ago as if it were a burnt copy. Note that this is not a bad thing at all as I am deeply in love with how the original is, and I love this version just as much. The music is the same exact music as the original, and as for voices; the game has options to have the original voices or to use the new dubs they have provided. The newer voices they added don't suit the characters as well, but aren't bad.I was hesitant to buy the game because I read about the glitches people experienced. Let me make this clear: the glitches are incredibly minor and almost unnoticeable. I have been playing about an hour and a half of gameplay and have not noticed anything wrong with the progression of the game or puzzles.I am ecstatic with my purchase of this game, I couldn't be happier. If I got the ring of death and my game was ruined, I'd buy this again in a heartbeat.

I exchainged this due to be bocken case. Second one was also brocken case one. But I gave up and decide to keep second one less brocken…
