• Summary: Silent Hill Origins tells the tale of a solitary truck driver stuck in the terrifying town while making a routine delivery. New gameplay elements, such as a barricade system that lets players block off rooms from enemies, and an enhanced camera system deliver an added sense of isolation and anxiety in this frightening adventure.

  1. Unfortunate camera and combat issues aside, Silent Hill Origins is a worthy addition to the series and should scare the socks off even the most jaded survival horror devotee.

    Still, Silent Hill Origins succeeds on so many levels that it will not disappoint fans of the series. [Dec 2007, p.128]
  3. Origins unfortunately also falls prey to the series' most notorious pitfall--crappy combat. [Dec 2007, p.128]

    A revolution in the silent hill saga, may be the best, but has some problems first the camera is like a kid without candies second is not a game that can be played outside, you must play it in a dark room with headphones third you can finish it in 5 hours, i agree that is a handheld console, but a game is made for entertain his owner for longtime by the way this is a "must have" for this console.

    Honestly, as long-time fan of the series, Origins really didn't impress me. The graphics are good, but the overall mood isn't up to par with the level of emotional involvement in say SH2 or 3. Naturally expectations were a little lower given that this is a portable game but really, the music wasn't Yamaoka's best by a long shot, the combat is actually worse than before (the one-use weapons are absolutely lame), and more than anything...it wasn't scary. I played the game for about 4-5 hours and just couldn't keep going after that. Hopefully this studio's efforts to bring SH5 to next gen systems will be done a little more carefully. Expand

    Completed the game in less than 4 hours. The game is ok for a handheld, but to be honest its the weakest Silent Hill game in the market. With few puzzles and bosses that are simple to beat the challenge is not so great. Breakable weapons also becomes a real pain in the butt after awhile. Expand
