Those are the words that Dante sees upon entering the outskirts of a certain dark place. This game makes you feel like you are in the middle of it. There are few things that shock or scare me as an adult and this game has them all. Any fan of the previous Silent Hill games will instantly recognize the atmosphere and those new to the series will quickly learn why this franchise is synonymous with fear. The combat has been much improved from earlier versions as you can now actually aim and duck out the way of most attacks. However, those looking for improvements over the camera control will not find much progression here. Also, this game is really dark and not just in subject matter. I had the brightness turned all the way up and still had difficulty spotting necessary items on screen. The only remedy was playing in complete darkness which only resulted in heightened horror. I strongly recommend this game to anyone that has either played any Silent Hill game or at least seen the movie and remember, always save your ammo for the bosses.
