SdKfz 7/1 #1 / Road Wheels /

This one was long(er) time coming, as my attention was drawn away for a bit, into wet and peculiar reality of Silent Hill "Downpour". New release of this old and famous horror series features Murphy Pendelton's story, escaped convict looking for a way out of prison bus crash site. He ends up in Silent Hill, a very dark town. Town itself  may not exactly scare, but give a bit of goose flesh, and that feeling of un-reality. Murphy is allowed to scout the town in certain limits, roads are still cut off, any available way out is blocked, but more areas are available to explore. Side quests are present in those extra locations and give some additional info about story line and Murphy's past (after all there must be a reason why he is in claws of madness). Game can be easily put in line with part 2, which is widely considered as best out of the series. The Downpour takes what is the best out of all previous games I suppose, novelty is escape or rather running away from "red nightmare" in different versions of "other world" (similarity to Silent Hill Shattered Memories for Wii). Game definitely deserves attention, it's "must have" for all fans. Completing it once is never enough especially having bonuses in second play through :D
