Unfortunately, for all of the pent-up demand that existed for a new chapter of the series to be released for current-gen consoles, Homecoming was seen as a huge disappointment by fans and critics alike. The first official launch of the Silent Hill franchise for HD consoles was 2008’s Silent Hill Homecoming. Silent Hill Downpour isn’t quite the mess that Rule of Rose was-and yet, because of it, I find myself in a very similar predicament. My head told me that I couldn’t give it any sort of decent grade, because it wasn’t a great game at the same time, my heart begged me to do the right thing and give it a higher score, because it was a fantastic experience. (In fact, I had the chance to speak to the man responsible for most of those very elements-Yoshiro Kimura-at GDC, and he didn’t hesitate to agree with the game’s failings.) When it came time to review Rule of Rose and give it a final score, I was utterly torn. So many of the game’s core concepts were utterly terrible-and yet, its story, its characters, its scenarios, its atmosphere, and its music were all amazing in their owns special ways. It’s games like Silent Hill Downpour that make people like me hate attaching scores to reviews.īack many years ago, I reviewed another survivor horror adventure: A PlayStation 2 release called Rule of Rose.
