Long story short, I borrowed a PSP and said game for a blast over the weekend.
The Good:
+ True to Silent Hill's formula.
+ Art direction and monster designs.
+ Ambience and Soundtrack.
+ Each location after the Hospital is fresh to the series and uniquely creepy.
The Bad
- Isn't sure whether it's a prequel or a standalone story with it's focus.
- Combat is a little clunky.
- In spirit, not a handheld. Playing it without headphones in a public place just doesn't work.
- Voice acting.
The Unintentionally Hilarious
? Death by Toaster
? Death by Humping
? Death by Thanksgiving Turkey
? Death by Furry Suit
Thumbs up from me overall. It was enjoyable to go through and I might do so again if those rumors of a PS2 port are actually true...
