Having recently aquired a PSP 3000 (Cheers wife!) I find myself for possibly the first time having a well established piece of hardware, with a large back catologue of games. Being a gamer since the early 80s I have usually aquired consoles as they are released and then pick and chose games as they come out, paying full price.
Thanks to never getting around to purchasing the PSP first time, I am now in a nice position where I can pick and choose from a vast selection of games, the majority of which are at a fraction of their original price.
Silent Hill is my first foray into the realms of survival horror/adult gaming on the PSP.
The game starts with a rendered cut scene which is well animated, giving you an introduction to your character and the town. The cut scene then changes to one which is rendered using the in game engine, which while not as pretty as the first cut scene, is still decent for the PSPs graphical limitations.
Your character (Mr Ten-four buddy trucker) then gets his chance to wander about a bit, to the sounds of some Dido-esque intro song.
He eventually reaches the town and it all goes bent from there.
I will not go into the story line but say that the game is divided into two parts, the streets and the buildings. The streets are dividers for the levels which take place in large buildings which act as the 'levels' themselves.
The first 'level' is a hospital. You walk around, solve puzzles, open locked doors until you have a certain item. You then exit and walk the streets to the next 'level' which is an asylum.
While in the buildings you meet ghoulish enemies which are easy to kill at first but then get harder the more you progress, you can slap them about using your hands but a more effective way is using the melee weapons which are scattered around and plentiful.
As you progress you can also pick up guns and ammo which is more effective but less fun than lobbing a bottle of alcohol at a zombie nurse thing and knocking her sparko.
If you are low on health (which is in the usual form of medikits or food) you can just circumnavigate most enemies and run around like a wuss but remember to turn your torch off as it makes you less visible.
So far this is a fun game and has bags of atmosphere, you should be able to pick it up for well under £15 these days to there is no excuse (unless the excuse is you have no money after the credit crunch, and if that is the case, stop reading reviews of psp games and get back to work)

Brilliant! And I've only got as far as confronting the nurse in the hospital!
I have only recently bought the Sony PSP and a friend recommended Silent Hill Origins as the first game to play. Despite still getting used to the buttons on the console itself and then trying to remember what I can press with other buttons, I have found the start of the game very enjoyable indeed! For the moment, I don't think I've hit a red icon which allows me to save my gameplay and so, consequently, I have to start the game from scratch - but it's not a problem. (Does anyone know where the first red icon appears where I can save my game to avoid starting from the beginning?) As soon as the trucker jumps down out of his cab and spots the lonely girl behind him, the action starts. A burning house then offers the first victim and after recovering his consciousness it is time to go to the hospital to see how the fire victim is doing. A doctor (?) standing by the lift offers little help and so it is inevitable the trucker will go to the same floor - enter the featureless nurse from hell! But there's a hammer, a spray of blood and that's as far as I get because the trucker is killed through my negligence! D'oh!
Highly recommended - will definitely be buying the new Silent Hill game when it comes out. Now, about that red icon...

Great film and game series. I had been playing Silent Hill 2 on PC when I saw this PSP version. I can now be scared in bed! Great! I don't generally like 3rd person games but I make an exception for this great series.

...and turn off the lights while you play it with the headphones on.
Silent Hill - back to how it should be; not locked in some room, but wandering around the misty town wondering what the hell is going on. Yes, in places it is more style than substance, but when the style is this good, you can make allowances.
By and large, this is familiar, above all else - the controls, the look, the feel, the types of location. There are some nice twists - the fact that melee weapons are destroyed by use, for example - often half way through a scrap - stop it from being too comfortable.
Although this is not a huge game (about the same length as the first one), there are some really cool bits about it that only come out on replaying. Yes, there are the 'bad' and 'UFO' endings to find, but the real fun is in the accolades. These force you to play the game differently - one involves, for example, no shooting, while to gain another, you have to shoot everything. This adds an impetus to replaying the game - trying to see if you can take out the bosses with only your fists.
Quite a lot of fun.
