Dark Hill vs. Silent Hill

I havent played dark hill, but to me, resident evil is what silent hill should have been.

 

I haven't played either. Silent Hill looks like a crummy quick put together by Konami to sell the game. Some people liked it or thought it was scary. If your fan of the series I think you'll be severely disappointed. Dark Hill I don't know much about it except for the video released when it first came out and the pics. There appears to be a new update. It looks as though this game had thought put into it and wanted to create the experience of Silent Hill. If I had to choose between the 2, i'd go with Dark Hill.

 

I've purchased and played both the Silent Hill app and the Dark Hill app. I myself am a huge fan of the Silent Hill game series and I was very excited when I discovered the Silent Hill app in the app store. However, the gameplay and atmosphere fell rather short of my expectations for the series. You basically just feel your way through a series of repetitive mazes to find a key to progress to the next repetitive labyrinth while avoiding or killing any enemies you encounter. It was a rather bland experience seeing that you never stumbled upon any unique area throughout any of the levels - just the same old maze of corridors.

The Dark Hill app on the other hand, has been a much more "Silent Hill-ish" experience in my opinion (especially with the new update). Not only do you get a first-person survival horror game for just a buck, you actually get variety in level design. Hooray! It's not just some maze of uniform corridors, it's a multitextured and well designed series of levels!! The new soundtracks also do an excellent job of setting a Silent Hill-ish atmosphere and actually do so more effectively than the Silent Hill app's narrow choice of Akira Yamaoka's masterpieces.

Overall, Dark Hill is a much more "Silent Hill-ish" app than the Silent Hill app itself and is also alot cheaper too. I highly recommend it over the official SH app.
