Any of the horror-gamers out there will already know about this series. The evil town called Silent Hill drags unweary souls into a hellish nightmare of moaning demons, aggressive ghouls and psychological terrors. Being quite a linear gaming experience, you may not have much use for replay; however you will get alternate endings depending on the difficulty level selected. My personal favourite feature of this particular game is when you think you saw something in the apartment (which is played in first-person) such as a child standing, staring at you, or a severed head float across the window and move back to find it isn't there. You end up wondering whether you really saw something or if you just need to stop gaming at 3am. The sounds and ambience in this game are unmatched. Where other scare-tactical games will catch you on a "boo" startle, Silent Hill 4 will have you staring at the screen while you hear a person wailing from the next room. More than once I've muttered, "N-No... I'm not going in there." Other times in the game the sounds of children laughing from long, dark corridors will have you cringing. All around, it's a great game and well worth the purchase. Figure out the mystery of the room and how someone managed to lock you in from the inside. Oh, and there IS that disturbing hole in the bathroom that leads into the darkened heart of Silent Hill...Read full review
Pros + Creepy monsters, effects, & atmosphere. + Not the same Silent Hill. New back story that explores more of Silent Hill than before. + Better combat system but still no where near perfect. Cons - 1st person gameplay tends to be a bit sluggish & makes things harder on the player. - Only one boss battle. - Some puzzles can be difficult to solve. Comments Silent Hill 4 explores a variety of creepy levels & has quite a new style when it comes to the demonic creations within the game. The style leans much more towards Japanese horror films. There are many creepy sights to see in the game that may shock you. Verdict Must play for any survival horror fan. Must have for any Silent Hill fan.
The game is scary, fun, replay value is decent but the endings are short and not satisfying. It only takes about 15 hours max to beat the game in your first try. The game is pretty difficult, but manageable on normal level.

Game disc has a couple of scratches and smudges. The case has some dents, but seems to work perfectly fine, which is all I care about! Awesome price for such a hard to find game

Ok, this is the final game comming out in the silent hill series, "maybe" anyways its an awesome game if you have ever played the series or not it has a fresh story that is nothing like the first three games, the Fan Fav. is silent hill 2, prob the most famous out of the four. but this game is awesome non the less. the controls are the same as in the first three, the creepysetting of the game totally connects the game together easy to follow and a blast to play, its alll starts as Henry Townshend finds himself trapped in his apartment thats been cursed by a deeply DEEPLY rooted evil that he must uncover. But one day a portal opens in his apartment leading to disturbing alternate worlds which Henry will begin to unravle the truth of the creepy events and the story behind silent hill.theres a whole line of mysterious new characters, horrendous creatures, and the undead will use any means necessary to impede his progress. Horrific new monsters, like spirits that can attack through walls (a super pain in the butt and deadly) and bizarre beasts, in addition to expansive areas like the forest, prison, and hotel ensures ties back to the early silent hill games if your a fan you will see the connections but if you are new to the series it is still an awesome game the you will want to play again and again and again in the dark with the volume tured up high. if you love horror survival games or new all together this is a great game to start up withRead full review
