A snippet and score from the first review of Silent Hill: Homecoming is in, posted from Official Xbox Magazine over at Metacritic. The outlook? Not good. The snippet reads "From its leaden, cheap-shots-aplenty combat to its wild-goose chase through gray, same-y hallways filled with useless, placebo doorways to a story that takes much too long to get off the ground, its entire first half feels like a death march through a clunky hot mess." and scores the game 65/100. Although they presumably played with the 360 version, I doubt that there's a big difference between PS3 and 360 editions. Of course, that's only one review, and I expect we'll see others soon, but it's not a good start.

Sillent Hill was one of the best horror series on the PS2. Smart and really spooky, it featured memorable characters, really intelligent plotting and some of the most brilliantly disturbing art direction in a video game yet. This generation of consoles needs a decent horror title so badly and it'd be such a shame if this latest Silent Hill turned out to be less than it should be. The game's due out on September 30th in the US with no clear UK release date yet, so expect to see a lot more reviews up soon.
