Lay your fears to rest because developer Climax did a phenomenal job. Like everyone else I thought this game was going to be disastrous. Taking a beloved franchise like Silent Hill and giving it to a new developer was a very risky move, but it paid off...man did it pay off. Climax without a doubt captured the look, the feel, the pacing, the essence, and most importantly thet creepiness of what makes Silent Hill....well, Silent Hill. And the music from Akira Yamaoka is once again haunting and beautiful all at once. The ONLY negative I have toward the game is that it's very short. I beat it in a little over 4 hours. But keeping in mind how very good it is, it's a very minor complaint. My apologies to Climax for doubting you guys, you did a fantastic job. Beautiful graphics, fantastic soundtrack, spot on controls, connects very well to part 1, etc. Can't wait to see what Climax does with Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

A VERY OK GAME
PostedApril 20, 2009
This game has bad graphics and the camera angle sucks. It chooses for you depending on how the room is or whatever. The storyline is ok and you do kind of want to know what's gonna happen next. The weapons kind of suck but you're ok. The monsters are very creative and only once a monster came out of no where and i jumped. The game is VERY SHORT, and this game is only worth it because of its sale now where it's only ** bucks. If it was its normal price i would not get it. I get stuck a lot and it ticks me off. You will roam around for like 30 minutes trying to find out what to do. Once you finally find out what to do to get past a puzzle and you find a save point you get that warm fuzzy feeling of accomplishment. If you crack a puzzle on your own you feel really smart. BUT ONLY GET THIS GAME WHILE IT'S ON SALE!

Very fun but short
PostedApril 19, 2009
I got this game and was addicted to it! I wouldn't put it down and when I got stuck I would wander around for a long time trying to figure out what I had to do. Unfortunately there isn't that many levels and I beat it within two days of buying it! The graphics were good and the monsters made me jump a few times when they showed up out of nowhere. The monsters were very creative and creepy and the static sound just made the fights with them more intense and freaky. I enjoyed wandering around trying to figure out what to do. Kept me busy until I beat it. I tried to beat it again but lost interest, even though I unlocked some cool things. It was worth how much I payed for it though. It was really fun, interesting, and creepy. I would recommend this game to people who like these kind of games.

Very Good Game!
PostedJuly 14, 2008
I enjoyed this game, but not the camera for it, sometime you can't even see the enemys, but overall, this game is a very good game, I enjoyed it, but until I kept getting a game over, I got really mad, but them I sucked it up, and I beat it! I beat it twice, the last one took shorter, because, I unlocked room "502" in the hotel, and, you unlock many things once you beat the game! I loved the game!! You would to, I intend to tell you, not to let little children under the age of 10 to play this game, they will have nightmares, but you would really enjoy this game, there are some confusing parts in this game, but, you'll get the hang of it, the first time I played this, I had so much trouble on the "bosses" of the locations, stoped playing for a while, but then I played again, and beat it, twice!
