I dunno, I'm not really that much of a fan but yeah you're right it is really freaky
When I was playing it, I had two other games so I could get it out of my system (Disgaea & Tekken),
Cause if I would've only been playing SHO, I would've ended up a bit more messed up
Haha yeah, out of 10 (10 being the scariest) what would you rate the games overall scariness?I dunno, I'm not really that much of a fan but yeah you're right it is really freaky

Depends on how you play it
SHO played daytime with no headphones 8
SHO played daytime with headphones 9
SHO played Nigth time with headphones, as recomended 11, (no way someone can make me attempt such cazyness)
About how long is the game in hours.GlockXIII
Not too long, it takes around 5 hours to complete the first time through. Its about the same length as GOW: COO.
As for the game being scary, being a long term fan of the series I can see where you are coming from. The game is more freaky than genuinely scary, it relies more on atmosphere than anything else (though the flashback sequences always made me jump when they appeared, they come out of nowhere). It is no where near as creepy as SH 1-3, now those were scary. If you enjoyed this then I strongly recommend you try the originals.
I been playing horror games since I was about 7 I think. I'm just use to it and I like horror stuff.
What really makes Silent Hill scary to people is that it's pretty "distrubing"...I remember playing the original RE on my PS1 when it came out when I was 15 I think, with 4 of my friends, and even then it freaked the hell outta us, because none of us had really experienced a game like that....When Silent Hill 2 came out, I had become attoned to gore, violence, and the "shock" surprise moments, but then "atomosphere" became scary as hell with it's music and disturbing storylines and gameplay....and I'll be honest, Silent Hill 3 scared the hell outta me, and I'm a grown ass man.....not only was it gorey (without being over-the-top in that "silly" manner), but the atmosphere was beyond creepy, the sound design was horrifying, and the camera angles and in-game cinemas were beautifully crafted to make you cream your pants, but only from the wrong end.
In all honesty, Silent Hill on the PSP isn't really bad at all; definately not the scariest....and since I'm usually playing it while on the move, or in a crowded environment...not a home, at 12 am, in front of my big screen, with the lights out, and the wife at work.
But in the end, I'm one of those horror fanatics that who gets his thrills from the scary stuff that pushes the envelope. I love horror movies and games like Silent Hill, Condemned, Clock Tower, System Shock, & Fatal Frame...honestly, if it doesn't scare you, then it failed as a horror game/film.
