Good of you're a horror fan
The first thing that you'll probably notice about silent hill the escape is that it looks really good. The environments and enemies are extremley detailed and the game has a very disturbing, creepy vibe to it. The sound design is also quite good, just like in previous silent hill games you carry a radio which emits a large amount of static whenever you are close to an enemy plus the creepy sounds of the enemies footsteps really help to frighten you during your gaming experience. The thing that I was most sceptacle about the game before I played it was the controls but contrary to my previous thoughts the game does control fairly well. You move by sliding your finger on the touch screen which I had very little trouble with while playing. You shoot with the accelorometer which I had close to no trouble with at all during my playtime. The final thing that you should know before you purchase the game is that it's pretty darn scary. If you play in a dark room with your headphones in then I can pretty much garuntee that you'll be freaked out. Overall this is a very good app and one that any horror fan should look into purchasing
Gets better the deeper you go.
I've purchased this game right after it was released on the iPhone. My first impression was dissapointment, I wanted it to be like the playstation games; solving puzzles, killing enemies, and an interesting story. So I only played it a few times and moved on. Cut to a few weeks later I gave it another play through. The further you progress, the more enemies there are such as Pyramid Head which was nice. The ending to level 10 was awesome, harkens back to Alien abduction, loved it. I thought that was the end of the game but I just unlocked a new mode, now I'm playing as a Alien, different weapon and layouts. I like it. I'm glad I gave this game another shot.
a bit on the boring side...
This game could have been an absolute nut-buster. The disturbing sounds throughout the game are very unsettling, sometimes close, other times far away. Mixed with some above average graphics this should have been a quintessential addtional to anyones itouch/iphone collection. However, i found the game seriously derailing immediately after completing the first level, only to return to the EXACT same locations, now as an alien. Imagine the disappointment when, after completing the game as an alien, you return immediately, once again to the very same levels, this time as a dog. Its as if the developers had no idea where to go after the human level. No outdoor locations, the same creatures appearing time and time again, never really scaring you beyond a modest level of excitement and anticipation. I just think with a little more creative effort, this game could have been great, as it is, i gave it 4 stars ONLY because of the unsettling sound effects, which by the way, got a little boring after repeating themselves as well in all three levels of play...what a shame....
