Silent Hill for PlayStation 1

Pros: Scary to play
Cons: Scary to control

When Silent Hill was released in early 1999, the cynical lot of gamers nearly immediately cast the g ...

Pros: frightening and unnerving atmosphere...
Cons: ...until you hear the voice overs

Preamble: I am paying homage to Seth MacFarlane and his hilarious show, Family Guy, with my title. Support the spiritual successor to The Simpsons (who pretty much passed away around the time Family Guy showed up) by purchasing the Season 1 and 2 DVDs....

Pros: Atmospheric, convoluted story, very good concept.
Cons: Awful control scheme.

There are things in life that simply scare the bejeesus out of each and every one of us. For me, finding that one frightful thing is a difficult find. Many seem to be scared by the shock treatment, like movies such as Event Horizon and games like...

Pros: Unnerving story and atmosphere.
Cons: Voice acting and some control issues.

Since I am currently playing through the third installment of Konamis masterpiece series, Silent Hil ...

Pros: Challenging, spine-tingling, at times even horrifying
Cons: fog, cheap enemy hits, a little bit confusing at times

After seeing a preview of this game on a Wal-Mart scanner, I decided that the twenty dollar price tag was an excellent buy and that it would definitely get me at least a little bit spooked. Careful what you wish for.

This game is quite...

Pros: A very frightening game, with creepy graphical style and mind-rending sound-effects.
Cons: The plot is somewhat ambigious. VERY scary to play, even now. Even for me.

Man, I have some bad memories of this game. I remembered how much fun me and my cousin had playing Resident Evil 2 one weekend. Then I remembered how disturbed I was to play Silent Hill at my grandma's several months later. Every bit of my rational ...

Pros: Great atmosphere, characters and scare factor.
Cons: Seriously? For this game? None...

A little on the late side, this review is coming out before the sequel Silent Hill 2. Also, stupid or not, I dedicate this review to all those people that died in the WTC attack last week.

Silent Hill is Konami's second greatest...

Pros: Eerie atmosphere makes for a frightening game, complete with multiple endings.
Cons: Game may be a little too intense for some. Some graphic problems.

A photo-negative image appears on the screen. It appears to be a young girl, about to be run over by a vehicle. In white, the words this game contains violent and disturbing images can be seen. Welcome to Konami's thriller, Silent...

Pros: great sounds, except for the radio
Cons: The FOG graphical cover up

Silent Hill is Konami’s latest release into the survival horror genre. This game seeks to claim the title from the seemingly unstoppable Resident Evil series, and in the process, turns itself into a seemingly indifferent rip-off of new proportions....

Pros: Very impressive atmosphere, great sound, good story, very scary
Cons: Some difficult puzzles, controls need a little redesign

My wife and I like to play Playstation games together. Well, I play while she watches. It’s like watching a movie for her. Our favorite games are horror/adventure games, the better the story and for horror games, the scarier, the better. Silent Hill was...

Pros: Great atmosphere, awesome sound, weird story, it's scary
Cons: Some hard puzzles, control could have been improved, too short, it's scary

Intro: Very few games have the ability of engaging a gamer into a world where they actually feel physically and mentally threatened. Silent Hill accomplishes this concept by providing a bizarre story and a spooky out of this world atmosphere. ...

Pros: Incredible atmosphere, good graphics and sound. A truly terrifying gaming experience.
Cons: At times, the controls are annoying.

If I had to pick one game that has frightened me more than any other, it would be Silent Hill. Yeah, both D and Resident Evil were very scary games, but neither of them even comes close to the sense of dread and helplessness that Silent...

Pros: Scary, one of the best horror games I've seen
Cons: Difficult controls, plus it's embarrassing to be scared by a video game in front of friends.

I must admit first off that I rarely ever play Playstation games. Don't get me wrong; it's a great system, and there are some good games out there. Problem is, the games (and the console itself) are too freakin expensive to keep playing all the time....

Pros: Good storyline, easy to follow
Cons: Horrible graphics, not enough ammo, same old enemies.

As a Huge Horror-Gaming Fan, I quickly snatched up Silent Hill the minute it hit the shelves. Back then I was still waiting on the newest Resident Evil release, and I figured this would be a great way to pass a little time.

The game seemed at...

Pros: Scary, outstanding graphics and sound
Cons: Ended to soon for me

I'd read many articles in various gaming magazines before this game was released, and I was quite anxious to play it. I'm a big horror buff in any genre (movies, games, music, you name it), and this game sounded right up my alley.

This was...
