A regretable waste of time and money.

I've already wasted enough time on this game so I'm not going to waste any more by getting into a big review about it.

My complaints come down to these issues:

The engine has a lot of bugs, missing, cutoff and misplaced sounds, glitchy and inconsistent gameplay and a very broken combat system.

The American developers of this version didn't hold true to the original idea and now it seems to just be a conveyor belt of horror cliches. It does not deserve the Silent Hill name.

Save points are few and far between. This is the last time I've played 1-2 hours without a savepoint to have another broken combat encounter throw me back and lose 2 hours of progress.

This game will certainly guarantee frustration and I highly recommend skipping it. If you want to be scared, play Dead Space or replay one of the other Silent Hill games.

Do not buy Silent Hill Homecoming. It is a bad game, and a terrible PC port. It is a waste of $50.
