Silent Hill Experience - Sony PSP

I recently purchased this interactive movie and I must say I am very happy with it. Here are my pros and cons so you can make up your mind whether you will buy it as well:Pros:-Great material included inside.-The comics were translated into video very well and come to life as you read them.-The music picked out is great.-The special hidden features are amazing, specially the extremely disturbing fuko video featuring the beloved pyramid head apparently "romanticizing" a fellow apparition.Cons:-It should have had more special features from the game.-And it is a bit slow to load sometimes.The one thing I do wish they had added is at least a narrator to read the comics, otherwise I think the silent hill experience is a great buy for any silent hill fan and a must have for any silent hill collector.

I am a SH geek.Really really big one.--I Was so happy to get this- but ended up being rather disapointed that there weren't at least a few more features included.I am [still] happy with my perchase--- though I send warning toward the "nonOBSESSORS" to save their money.

Comics are ok but the narration passes by too quickly. The rest is blah. I was under the impression that this would show the origin of pyramid head and more of how Silent Hill became what it is.

I've been a Silent Hill fan from the begining, so being the owner of a bright and new, shiny PSP, this purchase seemed like a no brainer after I did a little research on the item. It features the entire comic collection (similar to the Metal Gear Solid Graphic Novel on UMD), some select songs from the games' sound tracks, and some behind the scens stuff for the SH movie... but in the end, it just felt more like a seperate "special features" disk for the movie, rather than a special treatment for the Silent Hill series. The comics were, in my opinion, disapointing, having thin, nearly laughable, plots, poor characters, and very little to do with the Silent Hill mythos or the games. The behind the scenes features for the movie were interesting at best, but felt limited, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it all included with the DVD release of the lack-luster film any ways. The songs are the only redeeming feature for this title, but instead of including the collection of stunning soundtracks in their entirety, we are treated to only about four or five songs from each of the game titles. In short, this really is just a collection of the worst parts of Silent Hill, in my honest and unflinching opinion. Were I a new comer to the series and started with this, I would be hard pressed to pick up an actual game. I am praying that the actual portable "Silent Hill Experience" will be the release of the up coming Silent Hill Origins, but as for this title, for the hard core completists only.

I adore Silent Hill and while I tried to not have any expectations, I felt slightly cheated.I do recommend this in that I did like the interface (as unwieldy as the game). I love the intro screen and was vaguely annoyed it was tough to get it back, even after removing & replacing the UMD.I was disappointed the most at the lack of substance. I was hoping to see the endings, a bit more of the making of the games, some insight on the characters, and the option to play all the songs.The PSP is a potentially powerful platform in portable game media and I think Konami missed the opportunity to jump on that.The Graphics novels, though a nice touch, were simply filler that unfortunately became the focus. These were written & illustrated by some of the more talented people in the comic industry (other comic lines that I do collect), but they were not suppose to become the crowning jewel. Sadly after going thru the UMD - these were the crowning jewel.And the UMD contains only ONE video of the 3 that were present on the rare out-of-print dvd.I did expect to get the DVD content of LOST MEMORIES with maybe some extras. Maybe they should consider releasing THAT on the PSP.If you are a fan, get this but short of the graphic novels, you will not gain anything you probably did not already know or own.I did read the reviews and I was warned. I bought it anyway. It could have been worse - but damn it could have been so much better.

I knew this wasn't a game before I purchased it. As a huge fan of the Silent Hill Franchise I needed this piece in my collection.It such a great product, it has mini comics to other tidbits that the franchise offers. Not only that but the music by Akira Yamaokais in this title. This is definitely a product that will be rare to find once its no longer available to purchase. So if you haven't already,do yourself a favor and pick this up!!!

This is NOT a game. It's a collection of media relating to the world of Silent Hill. This includes a comic book, pictures from the games, some art, interviews with some of the game's makers (including musical genius Akira Yamaoka), and a selection of music from games 1-4.If you're crazy in love with Silent Hill, and you have a PSP, then this one's a no-brainer. Buy it and love it, or Pyramid Head will drag you away.

THIS IS JUST FOR DIE HARD SILENT HILL FANS !! THIS IS NOT A GAME, IT'S JUST A DOCUMENTARY FOR THE SERIES.
