Platform: Playstation 3
Developer: Konami
Ending: good ending
It's... over?
That pretty much sums up my thoughts and feelings while watching the end credits. While still an amazing game in every respect, I feel it had greater potential. It did a fantastic job of leaving you guessing until the very end but then when it hits you want more of it. I was just slightly disappointed that after a single play through I knew exactly what had happened. Maybe it was because the game was developed by an American group rather than a Japanese one. Also it seemed to be fashioned after the film, both stylistically and plot-wise which again is not terrible it just could have done more.
I briefly want to mention the appearance of Pyramid Head. This is not a spoiler if you wait to press start and watch the intro cinematic. In Silent Hill 2 Pyramid Head was symbolic for Jame's individual story. In this game and the film, he's just kind of there. God damn it, give Pyramid Head a richer back story. He's like the mascot for fucks sake! Sorry, I'm done now.
Overall a great game and a worthy addition to the Silent Hill series I just feel like I ate Flaming Wok and it's an hour later and I want to eat more Flaming Wok. Don't spill all the beans in the first play through, stupid American developers...
Secret Cult of Kuni rating: 3/5
