 Wow. June 26, 2008
I'm not much of a gamer, so I can't really explain this game from a gamer's point of view. However, from the point of view of someone that almost never plays games like this, I think it was a lot of fun! There's the action element, which is voluntary if one doesn't care for the bloodshed, and there's also a lot of puzzles that requires one to think about what he/she should do next. I haven't finished the game yet, but the storyline so far is intriguing, enticing one to go further to find out what creepy part of the story will be revealed next. Certainly not a game for people with weak stomachs, but if one is the type to enjoy being creeped out, this is a great game for it! :3

those of you who think this is a bad game should maybe rethink things ..first of all dont play this without a controller its ported from 2 systems that use controllers..think about it.secondly the enemies u cant kill are ghosts...can you kill something thats already deaad?i think not.there ARE mmore enemies than the ghosts most of them are not.you have the time of your life beaten em and watchin there life juice flow out of them like a fountain.and thirdly you DO DO DO go into silent hill all of u incomitent fools.whne u go through the hole you arent alwasys in the same town the forest is in silent hill the prison is and so are more of them THINK BEFORE YOU MAKE YOURSELF OUT TO BE THAT STRANGE KID WITH NO PERSONALITY ON THE CORNER.this is a very good game buy it.

I had heard great things about this series and how scary they were, and what a great storyline the Silent Hill series has. Unfortunately I will never know because I uninstalled it after about 5 hours of "gameplay."
I have been playing computer games for 25 years of all types, from Zork, to King's Quest, to FPS games, and without a doubt, this game has the worst movement controls and combat system I've ever seen. It is incredibly awkward to move, mainly because of the camera angles, which continually change direction. Sometimes the camera will be in front of you facing the character (almost always a terrible position if combat is involved), and sometimes it will switch to a bird's eye view and you wil be staring at the character's head. Combat is awkward too due to the camera angles. It's difficult to target certain monsters, and some you won't even know are there until they're right on top of you when the camera is faced forwards. This just not make for a "Scary" gameplay experience, just frustrating. I hate dying to what appears to be a very easy monster because the camera angle won't easily shift to it. When the camera is in first person view, response time of the mouse is not very quick (you can't change this, even with your mouse), and trying to use the "look" cursor to view objects takes way too long.
In addition to this, the game is slow. You can run, but combat moves are about half as slow as traditional games (even adventure ones). And if you die, prepare to have to go through a lot of trouble to get back to your resume point, including having to go through the same cinematic sequences, since the game has very inopportune save points.
I won't be going back to the Silent Hill series without playing a demo of future games first. This game almost would have been much better as an adventure game instead of an action game. I'd rather watch the cinematic sequences and try to figure out puzzles than spend my entire time just trying to move around and fight.
