I bought this walkthrough after already beating Origins, but I wanted it for the extra information it contained about such things as the weapons for a Silent Hill Wiki I edit. I used the walkthrough on my second play through to try and unlock bonuses. It does a very thorough job on everything. The maps are nicely detailed, the directions are clear, and it gives directions on how to get all the items. This is the walkthrough for the PSP, but I went ahead and bought it for my PS2 version and everything was fine. The only thing that was off was a few times it would tell you you would find a health drink, and it would be an energy drink. No biggie at all. There are a couple typo/mistakes that can confuse you, so you may need to look online for what there really meant. Overall, a very good book.

This is a really well-written book about the game, Silent Hill: Origins, for PSP. It has step by step instructions about the mystical world. Where can I find this? Can I go through this door? All these questions and many more can be answered in this handy manual. It even has battle plans for destroying bosses! Don't hesitate! Buy this incredible book right now!
:D

The only complaint is that this (like all other SH strat guides) is DARK. When using it while playing the game you can easily lose your place because of the backgrounds on the page. That being said, its a well written, step-by-step walkthrough that doesnt have too many "reveals" but still gets you through with minimum damage. Recommended.

I found this guide a little more confusing than guides for the previous games, but it is a must for people who are new to the Silent Hill series. The thing I found most confusing with this guide was how items were identified on the maps. I didn't like the system the author used. It made finding some items difficult.
