Silent Hill 2 was the best.

Well, as a Silent Hill fanboy, the franchise pretty much ended by the time of 3~4. However, having ignored Origins until now, because it's not a Team Silent product, I actually think it's not as bad as I thought first.
Now, about Homecoming... The atmosphere/graphics look nice, but for me it's a totally *new* franchise xD
Not to mention that Arcade "adventure", ahah.

Every Silent Hill gets mediocre reviews. Most people like SH2 the most, but it only got reviews in the 7s.

I like the original game much better. It did everything better than 2 except for the big plot twist. You knew what was going on in 2, but it was still WTF in SH with Dahlia/Alessa. Most/all people just didn't get the plot of the first game until they played SH3.

Yeah, but SH Homecoming sounds like REAL shit. I mean you get a buch of combat options, including dodge, kicks and counterattack. Plus the mighty soldier can handle every weapon perfectly, and then you can even upgrade them.
Sorry, the new team obviously didn't understand what Silent Hill is about.
I bet my ass that that's why this game isn't Silent Hill 5 anymore, but Silent Hill Homecoming.

All of the Silent Hill's from 1-3 have average review scores in the mid 80's on Gamerankings. They seem to get a variation of 7's, 8's and 9's averaging around 85%. Homecoming is actually performing similarly, but it's average is just a bit lower at 77%. That could all change though as more reviews get out. Chances are, if you love Silent Hill you'll at least like it.

Funny though. Did any of you play the game? I did since my friend bought it when it came out. It finally gives me the feel 1 and 2 gave me back then and it's the reason I just moved to the next-gen. We only played it together for like 3 hours though so I don't know if I'll totally like it.

It's awesome that the team was able to recapture the whole feel you had back before 3. 3 still sort of had it but I disliked 4 and lost faith in the series with it.

Changing the way you fight the creatures is a crucial mistake for me. They did that with SH4 already, but in this game they totally changed it to something that's the absolute opposite of what Silent Hill is for me.

No, I can't, but I want to. I'm forbidden from playing games in my dorm. The only game I've played is Deathsmiles at the arcade. Me and some of my dormmates need some Rock Band 2. Karaoke is fun, but it's not Rock Band.

What console out of PS3/360 do you think has the most promising future ? I was thinking of getting rid of one of them but am not sure what one ? I've been so disappointed with the PS3, all the "big" titles were a let down and the next game I wanna play (Final Fantasy) is coming out for the two systems.. the genres I play mainly are racing, role play & fighting! I actually play ISS Pro Evo more than anything! so what's the best!!!!

No clue. But why get rid of one? There will always be exclusiv titles over the next years, and when a game comes to both system you can to decide which you want more.
Rock Band for example is earlier on the XBox, but Force unleashed has Tearing on XBox. Get the best from both.
