Ok what do you think about it ? I myself never played any of the games but today I got myself the second opus for xbox (I've got the 360 only but it's compatible) after so many people told me to play the game because it's "SOOOO" scary and all. I'm more a resident evil guy but I love dark and strange atmospheres so I will try. So was this a good buy ? Are you a fan ? Just express on that universe if you know about it and before I put the game inside the machine... Also I've seen the movie and thoughtit was very shitty... |

and don't mind the slow/stoic/robotic dialogues. i'm sure they're done like this on purpose. |

Well I like when the action is slow with a lot of dialogues and cinematics. It helps the mood. |

Silent Hill is great, but if you think RE is horror, you're probably going to wonder where all the enemies are... they've been replaced by other “fancy” things like atmosphere, story and the likes. |

Nothing wrong with RE, but Silent Hill is much freakier, especially the first three games. On the other hand I have to say that Resident Evil has allowed the series to develop, whereas Silent Hill is basically the same game over and over again - but a game you should play. The movie? Skip it... One of the better video game adaptations, and it still sucks. What does that tell you about video game adaptations on the big screen? |

I -kind of- liked the movie, but it wasn't all that surprising or exciting, i just liked how everybody got killed at the end in combination with that frightning howling church organ on the background. The first 3 games are a yes go, haven't played the 4th yet. Resident evil is cool too, but if you like searching around in the dark with a flashlight, then shitting a brick because of some random appearing enemy, pulling keys out of dead halfcooked dogs and twitching halfdead horses on a carousel, then this is your cup of tea. |

There's a lot less action-movie influence in Silent Hill compared to RE, the atmosphere is pretty much everything. SH 1-2-3 are masterpieces, 4 is a mess but worth playing for the handful of good ideas (the giant head). Silent Hill 2 is so great. And it's actually a melancholy scene in the dilapidated hotel that remains the best part of the series for me, a scene with no monsters or gore or terror of any kind. |

the fourth silent hill was surprisingly good in some respects, but totally lame in others, like combat, puzzles, enemies and story. The Room itself was a nice concept, but the game was way too short and repetitive towards the end. Definitely the weakest game in the series. The PSP silent hill is just more of the same apparently... I tried the PS2 port and it just felt really mediocre. I kind of liked the movie, too, because it gives the right vibe you expect, but it still doesn't fill the potential of the Silent Hill universe (that only someone like David Lynch could fulfill). |

Silent Hill 4 wasn't designed to be a silent hill game. It was supposed to be the start of a different franchise, but for some reason half way through production they didn't want to risk it and just renamed it and threw in some lame story connections. That's why it feels like a different game; it is. Silent hill isn't really scary, but its creepy. Beautiful atmosphere and great lore. Nothing really matches that feeling of walking around in a dilapidated town and then seeing it covered in rust and blood. I am a fan. My avatar is from a picture of pyramid-head. |

I actually thought the movie was pretty good. It kept in the SH spirit, even though it had a quite obvious tinge of hollywood. |

Yeah.. the Shakespeare-puzzle... as I usually do when I encounter a puzzle that seems hard, I asked a friend to check if I would be able to solve it with only the clues found within the game. Usually, that is possible, but on this one I had to concede that the developers had got the best of me, and I resorted to using the mighty gamefaqs. I shall have to read more Shakespeare it seems. |

dude! those puzzles were incredible! I nearly went insane, and the scribblings I made trying to solve them were like those of a schizophrenic trying to connect all the dots in the universe. |

... I want more of them! These so called "puzzles" in most games are for pussies. Come on, floor the Mensa people! |

I am a huge fan of silent hill actually. Although I have only played the first one. I am just on my third run through of the game which is on hard mode. It's really hard. I have admit that when I first came across the demon babies in the alternate school I very nearly shit my pants. So definately I need to play more of the games. I really liked the film. I thought it was very watchable. Seemed to do a good job off marrying the different storylines of the games together, well, as far as I know anyway. |
