Silent Hill: Downpour


Silent Hill is just downright scary fun! Play it at home, later on in the evening with all the lights out and the surround sound on, and wow. Several times have I jumped at being shocked or scared. Here’s the cool thing about Downpour. It’s all about the building fear. In the small section I played, I was stuck in a room trying o get out when the rain started. It hit so hard that the room began to fill. There I am wondering where to go when I notice the power box on the wall that is sparking. I am going to die. Panic and run what to do what to do, oh here comes a creature. It starts off with fear, moves you into terror, and then throws shock at you. I was very impressed with the graphics and look of the game, and the story of our hero being a villain is good play for Silent Hill to sink its teeth into. Needles to say I was able to get the water down and deal with my baddie, but I was not left unscarred. Downpour is going to give the puzzle solving element of Silent Hill some intensity with its use of rain and water. I am excited and cannot wait to visit the town of Silent Hill once again. It’s one of my favorite little haunts to visit.
