5.0 out of 5 stars Great Title That Feels More "Silent Hill" Then The Last Few...
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2013
Platform For Display: Sony PSPVerified Purchase
This game was great! This was a faithful reproduction of the Silent Hill feel by Climax who also did the Wii version of "Shattered Memories".

I've been a fan since the first came to ps1 and have played every title, even if they were awful. Origins is no slouch. I'll only speak of game play, look up story yourself. First off, the controls are great, even with one stick to control. Always responsive and easy to handle.

The interesting elements that defined the previous titles have been changed to adapt to more puzzle oriented areas. Meaning, as in the past, every time we went to a new area we would enter silent hill world. In this game you have control over entering silent hill world by touching mirrors. There is a reason. This takes away the scary aspect of being swept into your mind but opens up more puzzle options by having to find other ways into parts of a map by way of mirrors.
One complaint is not enough to explore. No real secrets. Also not enough commentary, I love walking through every area and pressing X on all items for a random comment.

Other than that, the game looks great and story is great.

really great horror game for the psp if you are looking for a great decent horror game this is a good one especially for the psp because its on the go.First off the environment is really great and scary at the same time too,the enemies are just great sometimes they are irritating and can be sometimes hard to kill if you aren't prepared well,what makes the game more amazing is it is challenging so there is a lot of thinking and a difficult game at some point not like other horror game where you just kill monsters and just go to this place or that place and just destroy or retrieve a certain item,but in silent hill origins its about thinking and know what you are going to do.Lastly once you finish the story you get some unlockable items and its really fun so after you are done you can continue playing and try achieve the other items you haven't unlocked so its a really great horror game and i would recommend this for the psp.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Addition to the Series
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013
Platform For Display: Sony PSPVerified Purchase
Story: The game takes place 'several years' before the first game (on the PlayStation), with Travis trying to make up time during his delivery by cutting through a small town know as Silent Hill. While driving, the road becomes foggy and he barely avoids hitting a girl in the road. When he gets out to look for her, he is follows the young girl until he loses her but comes across a burning building. Travis runs in to see if anyone inside, after traversing the burning house, he finds a girl with 3rd degree burns over most, if not all, of her body, he manages to rescue her before passing out and then waking up in the town of Silent Hill.

Gameplay: The game plays like many of the Silent Hill entries before, focusing on puzzles with elements of survival-horror. You'll spend much of your time searching for the next piece of a puzzle while avoiding or fighting demented and warped creatures of Travis' mind.

The camera switches between static and moving, at some points, generally in small rooms, the camera is fixed into a certain position. When in larger rooms or halls the camera is behind Travis and can be manipulated with the shoulder buttons.

Combat is pretty over-simplified, the left shoulder locks on to enemies while X allows you to attack (or can be held for power attacks). Weapons have slightly different speeds, meaning you'll have to use a bit of strategy for some enemies (obviously, if the enemy is fast, a big sledgehammer is not a wise choice).

Graphics: The graphics are pretty good for a slightly older game. Being Silent Hill, the game adopts the old fashioned screen effects such as static when an enemy is near and grain effects. Environments are decently detailed as are the characters. Lighting is done very well and gives the game a very dark feeling.

Controls, Voice, Audio and Music: The controls are quite simplistic, as there aren't many buttons on a PSP and will be learned quite quickly. The voice work ranges from acceptable to cheesy, which seems to be a staple for the earlier installments, so I'm not sure if it was intended or not.

The audio, when it's there, is well done, lending an ominous vibe to the area around Travis. Small movements can cause large amounts of noise when you're walking down a dark and empty hall. The music is very well done, as Akira Yamaoka was the composer, so I would expect nothing less from him. The music picks up heavily when Travis has what he needs to confront the areas boss, and altering when Travis enters the Otherworld.

Overall: This is a great addition to the series, and if you're a fan, I highly suggest giving it a try.

8.5/10.0 (or 4/5)

Pros
+ Great music score
+ Well executed game overall
+ Chilling feeling for much of the game

Cons
- Voice work is laughable in some areas
- Camera is sometimes uncooperative
- The combat seems lacking and not very in-depth outside of minute 'strategy'

2.0 out of 5 stars A Portable Game Low on Scares and Story
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2012
Platform For Display: Sony PSPVerified Purchase
There is a growing trend out there that seems to believe that games for a portable device should be shorter than the console variety, this game bolsters this belief. A scant few hours long, this game builds on the lore of Silent Hill, but doesn't delve nearly as deeply or as terrifyingly as the previous iterations. It is, perhaps, unfair to compare every Silent Hill game to Silent Hill 2, considered one of the scarier entries in the series, but it is hard to ignore this.

The graphics and ambience, including sound, were perfect, but the level of involvement was lacking. The environments were dark and disturbing, the game allowing you to shift from one world to another, finding new items in each as you move from one to the other. The controls were a challenge at times, the movement laboured and the attack buttons limited by the weapon held by the protagonist. At many times in the game, I opted to run through a gauntlet rather than be outnumbered and cornered. As with most Silent Hill games, the choice is between health and standing and fighting. There is never a lot of health or ammo around, though there were a variety of melee weapons, all of which broke after a few uses.

This is a decent entry in the series, but didn't impress me in the least. I do admit I did not play the game in the dark or with headphones, probably increasing the scare factor, but the story ended in a way that made it the antithesis of a Silent Hill game. If you find this for under $10, then it might be worth it, otherwise, it probably isn't worth the investment of time or money.

いままでにsilentHillはシリーズ集めてやってきました。今回は安さにひかれて輸入版を買ってみました。
特に動作に問題はなく普通にプレイできました。が、いままでの作品と比べると、心臓止まっちゃうような驚くイベントはなく、一番の問題はﾅｿﾞﾄｷなどが英語で書いてあるので全くわからないということがありとても大変でした。
値段が安いということで星★★★にさせていただきました

This is definitely the best Silent Hill since the first 3. It's got the best monster design out of any of them in my opinion and the plot and story was pretty decent and easy to follow. I beat the game in under 7 hours though so that was kind of disappointing. It's pretty traditional in it's game play and brings some new ideas that may seem weird at first but had no real problems other then being a bit to easy (can't set a difficulty setting on first play through). Over all I was pretty impressed with it and had fun. Puzzles were all pretty challenging to.
