i cant even finish playing this game, its too boring.  silent hill 1-3 are my favorite games ever.  this game is just...not good.

the biggest problem with it is that the fog/darkness is now gone.  as a result you can see everything around you.  this makes the whole experience not scary at all.  the first 3 silent hills had me sweating, shaking, or standing frozen at times in freight.  thats not the case at all with this game.  with the first 3 silent hills, i would sometimes get so scared i had to stop playing.  with this game i have to stop playing because i get too bored.  no fog/darkness completely wrecks the experience.

another reason why its not scary at all is the creature design.  i have no clue what they were thinking.  did they really expect people to be scared of leeches, bat things that looks like moths, and wheelchairs?  come on.  as its been stated plenty of times, the ghosts are just annoying too.

horror games that aren't scary can still turn out fun though.  unfortunately this isn't one of those games.  this game is way too straightforward and repetitive.  first off, the puzzles are gone.  secondly, traveling back and forth to and from "the room" gets so very old.  going back to worlds you already went through earlier in the game gets old fast too.  i decided to stop playing once i had to go through worlds i already beat again.

i also have to mention that the main character is boring too.  he has a monotone voice, no real personality, and his response to everything is "what the hell?"  i wish i kept track of how many times he said that, id really like to know.  id guess he says it over 20 times by the game is over.  oh, im locked in my room? "what the hell?"  oh, a dead person? "what the hell?"  oh, my shoelace is untied? "what the hell?"  exciting stuff.

on the plus side, the graphics look great compared to silent hill 3.  the music is still solid as well.  theres also a new combat system thats kind of improved.

in conclusion, this game is no fun because it is not scary, it is extremely straightforward, and it is too repetitive.  i cant talk much about the story since i didn't even finish the game, but for the first half of the game it was nothing special.
