Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated the PlayStation version of Silent Hill in Video Games
Jun 26, 2020
The Game: you play as Harry Mason as he searches for his missing adopted daughter in the eponymous fictional American town of Silent Hill; stumbling upon a cult conducting a ritual to revive a deity it worships, he discovers her true origin. Five game endings are possible, depending on actions taken by the player, including one joke ending.
The objective: The player is to guide main protagonist and player character Harry Mason through a monster-filled town as he searches for his lost daughter, Cheryl. Silent Hill's gameplay consists of combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving.
The Gameplay: The game uses a third-person view, with the camera occasionally switching to other angles for dramatic effect, in pre-scripted areas. This is a change from older survival horror games, which constantly shifted through a variety of camera angles. Because Silent Hill has no heads-up display, the player must consult a separate menu to check Harry's "health".
If you play the PS3 verison, the DualShock controller is used a heart beat rhythm can be felt signifying that the player is at low health.
Visibility is mostly low due to fog and darkness; the latter is prevalent in the "Otherworld".
Navigating through Silent Hill requires the player to find keys and solve puzzles.
Its a excellent game, that pefectly represents the psychological horror genre.
