This game would have gotten a 9.5 from me originally if some of the smog and nurse enemies weren't so dang hard to defeat. The AI is totally inconsistent at times being real easy and other times being impossible. The few and very far apart save points make this even more frustrating. There is only one save point in every level and levels are vast and filled with enemies.

That being said the game has its stroke of genius in the atmosphere and pacing. It is very creepy and scary and you collect weapons and items to help you move further into a level at just the right times. If only the combat and the saves would have been better.

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.

Where to begin!! one of the most unique and best silent hill games in the series.

the storyline is amazing the graphics are amazing.

the controls are different they have a condemned 2

and the suffering feel to it.

during dialog you have usually three choices

of what to say.

like most silent hill games it effects you

physically and mentally.

not just Alex Shepard but you the player

From the first few minutes into the game

youll be drawn into its straight creepiness.

I know this review isn't much but its a GREAT

game. i defiantly recommend you buy or rent this

game.
