I played this game for about 3 hours or so back in the day. I didn't like it. To me this wasn't a silent hill game. Mechanics were different than other the games. And i found it boring and unengaging. I guess this should have just been a new game. Just call it "The room" instead of using the silent hill badge. Ahhhh im sure i still wouldnt like it.

I've heard so many different things regarding this that I'm not sure what to believe.

personally i loved it. you half to play the whole game to judge it. the gameplay was fun,the graphics were nice the first and third person modes were great the enemys were creppy and most of all the story was fantastic and engaging sure its not perfect but the good out does the bad. I like the fact they changed it up after the first three but still kept it horror.

unlike resident evil 4 and 5 good lord did everyone forget resident evil was a scary tense horror game?!?

Play the room for yourself and decide. for the love of god don't compare it to the others just look at it as a stand alone project that they switched up. It was better then homecoming and unlike the first one the story made sense

also shattered memory for wii fantastic,fun,and the story worked perfectly no confuses ion

honestly i think if your a horror fan its hard not to like as long as you can deal with the ghost girl in the train area lol

Resident Evil 4 was very tense. It was also an appropriate direction for the series to take. Too bad seemingly every horror game since tried to copy what it did, usually badly.

Resident Evil 4 had more tense moments than Silent Hill 4 in my opnion. Atleast on the first playthrough. The part where a regenrator is chasing you and Ashley while you have to push the metal boxes is always very intense in my opinon. Then theres the part where Ashley is unarmed etc. Its best played on the wii version in my opinnion

Ya everyone loved resident evil 4 but i don't It was not the resident evil i grew to love it was to much action although ill admit i liked it much more then 5 i just miss the horror thats all and really that's not the point.

And if thats the right direction then why is it 5 was so bad. Now there changeing it alal up for 6 its all zombies again. I hope its scary horror. I understand they need action and horror its based of a new generation of gamers but for me nothing will be like the first game and code veronica i remember being so freaked out and the music made me nervous and and dog crashing though a window to me that was resident evil

But....it seems long forgotten

5 was just typical capcom fuckupery. They can't even copy their own formulas right.

I find it amusing that the guy going GIVE SILENT HILL 4 A CHANCE DON'T COMPARE IT TO THE OTHER GAMES MAN is going on about how Resident Evil 4 sucked because it wasn't like the old games.

I said give silent hill 4 a chance i did not say you got to love it. I gave resident evil 4 a chance and I did like it on the wii in many ways. It was not a bad game at all, in fact it was very fun but there's a difference between that and silent hill 4

Silent hill 4 the room may be different and i say give it a chance but its still straight up horror like the other games. resident evil 4 turned the series into an action game with some mutated wesker. I thought capcom could have given us more on that one.

Its not that i hated the game but I did not like the fact it was all action based when the game started out as a scary as hell game.

Not to mention it made no sense as the successor to code veronica? At the end of that game chris and claire are like lets go get umbrella!! Im thinking hell ya a final badass game and then we get resident evil 4?!? totally skipping the entire original story sorry that was lame to me and bogus.

In silent hill 3 they kinda ended that story before they did 4 which was a new thing so that was fine. not to mention it was horror still. resident evil did not give us an end to the story or give any closure once so ever. they skipped the story entirely and then had the nerve to make the series all action and no scares come on now? other then some jumps but not tense like re1 or code veronica

I find it funny how you dislike Resident Evil 4, even though it improved the RE-series gameplay A LOT, but you like Silent Hill 4, a game that made the gameplay of the Silent Hill-series a lot worse :P Although bad/awkward gameplay certainly can intensify a games athmosphere.

This video sums up well whats wrong with Silent Hill 4, and what they did right.

I haven't played it yet, I've finished 1 and 2, working on 3. I've watched my cousin play through the entire thing and I thought it looked awesome, the end was super scary too. So I can't wait to play this myself
